Who We Are
The Zambia Climate Change Network (ZCCN) is a membership – based Organization that exists as a civil society National platform whose strategic thrust is on climate/ environmental justice and the realization of sustainable development in Zambia. The Network was established in 2008 and got registered with the Registrar of Societies on 28th February 2011 and currently has its secretariat at Mulungushi International Conference Center, New Wing in Lusaka.
The Main Objective of ZCCN is “To mobilize civil society organizations and individuals advancing similar agendas on climate change related issues in order to undertake affirmative action.” Our Vision is “A Zambia resilient to the adverse impacts of climate change” and our Mission is “To coordinate civil society organizations’ engagement on climate change issues through capacity building, information sharing, lobby and advocacy”. To achieve the above, ZCCN works through its members with support from collaborating partners.

Membership-based Organization
ZCCN is a membership-based organization that is voluntary and non-partisan with full legal status. The Network currently associates with over 40 organizations across the country. Membership is open to civil society organizations, faith/ community-based organizations, individuals, academic institutions, and corporate bodies that subscribe to the ideals of the network.
At national level, the Network has been identified as an important stakeholder by the Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) within the core structure of the climate change policy processes as it is part of the Technical Committee that is a third highest level. The organization therefore takes an active role in undertaking mobilization, awareness, capacity building/ education and advocacy programs.
The ZCCN programs are focused on the following key thematic areas, Energy, Health, Water and Sanitation, Land Use and Management, Food Security and Livelihoods as well as Gender.
