Climate-Smart Practices Taking Root: Growing Solutions, One Woodlot at a Time
The Eastern Province Jurisdictional Sustainable Landscape Programme (EP-JSLP) team, comprising officers from the Forestry Department, the Ministry of Agriculture, and COMACO, led by Eastern Province Principal Forest Officer Catherine Zulu, today continued monitoring the implementation of the Cold Season Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) Energy Data Collection exercise in Kasenengwa District.
The team visited Chiparamba Primary School and Chiparamba Secondary School, where they observed the use of twigs and other sustainable biomass in preparing meals for the school feeding programme.
It was particularly encouraging to note that the schools have established woodlots, demonstrating a proactive commitment to sustainable energy production and environmental stewardship.
The woodlots will provide a renewable source of fuelwood while helping reduce pressure on natural forests and supporting long-term climate resilience.
Such climate-smart initiatives reflect the objectives of the EP-JSLP in promoting sustainable landscape management, strengthening the MRV system, and delivering credible emissions reduction results that benefit both communities and the environment.
