THE United Nations (UN) has pledged to avail US$28 million for climate change mitigation in Zimbabwe.
This comes as the El Nino-induced drought has resulted in high temperatures and erratic rainfall in Zimbabwe and Southern Africa, affecting crops and livestock.
Speaking at the on-going Zimbabwe Economic Development conference in Victoria Falls, UN resident and humanitarian coordinator, Edward Kallon, said there was a need for the authorities to establish mechanisms to monitor the progress of climate resilience programmes.
