This book seeks to provide relevant analysis to different audiences on how the law can be utilized to address the negative effects of climate change. Various concepts and insights regulating the different economic sectors in Zimbabwe affected by climate change are addressed. This includes essential aspects such as climate science, agriculture, energy, insurance, labour, human rights and finance. In the near future, policymakers, members of the legal fraternity, educators, civil society organisations, the business community and the media can contribute to the ongoing process of identifying concepts and strategies in order to adapt to and mitigate climate change in Zimbabwe.
