摘要
This article examines the legislative, investment and policy environment that the Zimbabwean state is spearheading to transition the country from an overreliance on fossil fuels in response to the drawbacks of climate change. The need for this energy transition has become even more urgent due to decreasing water levels that can no longer sustain the country's hydroelectric power outputs. A transition to other renewable energy sources and biofuels will lower the country's carbon emissions. The article observes that while a lack of capital in large part hinders the country's energy transition to invest in big renewable energy projects, the few small-scale projects underway are very opaque, (occasionally) transient and indistinct to the point of obscuring many potential benefits for the country's citizens. This article relies on a review of primary material and sources from various repositories and a thorough review of secondary literature.
