YES….. I flew to Zambia last week

The time had come to travel to Zambia and meet with the Government of Zambia which I did. In fact, I met with Collins Nzovu, The Honourable Minister of Green Economy and Environment.  Being a new Ministry and a very important portfolio in the Government and how Zambia will address climate change and job creation; the Minister has plenty of work cut out for himself.  I came away with a good feeling after my meeting with the Minister and staff. And because my concept of a sustainable fuelwood industry covers many cross-cutting issues and departments….it will take time! My trip was well worth the cost and effort, meeting vibrant new people and I look forward to positive things happening.
