The dry season brings more than clear skies. It also brings dust.

Dust is often overlooked, yet it can affect air quality, worker health, nearby communities, vegetation, and day-to-day operations.

Proactive dust management through monitoring, road maintenance, appropriate dust suppression, and vegetation management helps reduce environmental impacts while supporting safer and more sustainable operations.

At AESC, we help organisations identify and manage environmental risks before they become bigger challenges.

How is your organisation managing dust this dry season?

Every action we take, no matter how small, contributes to a healthier environment and more resilient communities.

Sustainable living doesn't always require major changes. Simple everyday habits, when adopted consistently and collectively, can reduce waste, conserve natural resources, and help protect Zambia's rich natural heritage for future generations.

At AESC, we believe environmental stewardship begins with informed choices and shared responsibility. Together, we can create lasting positive impacts for people, communities, and the environment.

Building Resilience Before the Next Climate Shock

In our previous post, we explored what a potential Super El Niño could mean for Zambia. While the exact impacts remain uncertain, preparing for climate variability starts long before the rains arrive.

Building resilience starts with:
Conducting climate risk assessments
Improving water efficiency
Protecting and restoring natural ecosystems
Diversifying livelihoods and supply chains
Integrating climate risks into environmental and social management plans

Organisations that invest in resilience today are better equipped to adapt to future climate challenges, protect their operations, and support the communities and environments in which they operate.

At AESC, we believe proactive planning today creates more sustainable outcomes tomorrow.

What Could a Super El Niño Mean for Zambia?

Climate variability is becoming an increasingly important consideration for governments, businesses, and communities across Southern Africa.

Preparing for future climate risks isn't about predicting exactly what will happen. It is about understanding potential scenarios and building resilience before impacts occur.

By integrating climate considerations into planning, strengthening natural resource management, and investing in adaptive strategies, organisations can better protect people, livelihoods, infrastructure, and ecosystems in an uncertain future.

At AESC, we support organisations to identify climate-related risks and develop practical, sustainable solutions that strengthen long-term resilience.

How is your organisation preparing for a changing climate?

🌿 Strengthening Biodiversity Investment in Zambia

UNDP Zambia, through the Biodiversity Finance Initiative (BIOFIN), is supporting 15 shortlisted project developers to build investment-ready biodiversity projects in partnership with the Ministry of Green Economy and Environment and the UK Government.

By strengthening financial literacy, project development, and investment readiness, the programme aims to unlock financing for initiatives across forestry, agriculture, fisheries, tourism, and protected areas, helping turn conservation into sustainable economic opportunities.

♻️ Turning E-Waste into Opportunity

The launch of the E-Waste Management for Youth Employment Project, funded by the Government of Japan and implemented with the ILO, marks an important step towards Zambia's circular economy.

Supporting 100 young people across five districts in Central Province, the initiative demonstrates how responsible e-waste management can create green jobs, protect the environment, and promote sustainable economic growth.

Zambia generated an estimated 23 million kg of e-waste in 2022, highlighting the growing need for effective collection, recycling, and resource recovery (Source: International Labour Organization (ILO), citing the Global E-waste Monitor 2024 by UNITAR and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU)).

🌾 Happy Farmers' Day, Zambia!

Today we celebrate the resilience, dedication, and hard work of the farmers who feed our nation and drive our economy.

As forecasts point to the potential development of a very strong El Niño, bringing an increased risk of climate extremes across Southern Africa, supporting our farming communities has never been more important. Investing in climate-smart agriculture, sustainable land management, and resilient food systems will be critical to helping farmers adapt and continue producing in the face of uncertainty.

At AESC, we recognise that protecting our environment and supporting those who work the land go hand in hand. This Farmers' Day, we thank every farmer for their commitment, perseverance, and invaluable contribution to Zambia's future.

The proposed Resettlement Management Bill, 2026 signals an important shift toward a more structured and comprehensive approach to development-induced resettlement in Zambia.

The draft framework reflects a stronger emphasis on rights-based approaches, inclusive participation, livelihood restoration, and improved governance through
out the resettlement process.

It also reinforces the need for robust institutional oversight and clearer accountability in how resettlement is planned and implemented.

For developers and investors, this means early preparation is key. High-quality baseline data, meaningful stakeholder engagement, well-developed Resettlement Action Plans, and alignment with international standards such as IFC Performance Standard 5 and World Bank requirements will remain critical.

At Armitage Environmental and Social Consulting, the focus remains on supporting practical, compliant, and outcomes-driven resettlement planning that prioritises both regulatory alignment and sustainable community outcomes.
