A near record El Niño is forecast to peak between October 2026 and January 2027.
The climate phenomenon, caused by the unusual warming of surface waters in the eastern Pacific Ocean, could result in disrupted harvests and push at least 49 million people into food insecurity by the end of 2027.
Eleven countries, home to 282 million rural people, rank in the top third globally for both drought exposure and fertiliser cost share increases, leaving rural communities particularly vulnerable to shocks.
But El Niño is one of the few shocks that can be forecast months ahead – leaving a real window to act.
Across IFAD-supported projects, what distinguishes resilient farms is that adaptation and mitigation measures are in place well before the next shock arrives.
These farms on the frontlines of droughts, floods and erratic weather offer lessons in resilience that farmers everywhere can learn from.

Speaking at the ZAMI 2026 , Councillor P. Nyathi, delivering remarks on behalf of the Mayor of Bulawayo, His Worship Senator @DavidColtart , called for responsible mining, environmental protection, transparency and fiscal accountability.
He highlighted the impact of mining on water catchment areas, the need to ensure mineral wealth benefits communities and future generations, and the importance of citizen participation in decision-making.
“Every dollar generated from our extractive resources should help us build stronger communities, modern infrastructure and opportunities for future generations.”
Highlights from the session at the Holiday Inn, Bulawayo.

Dr Gordon Moyo, Director of the Public Policy and Research Institute of Zimbabwe (PPRIZ), noted that the current scramble for critical minerals is being driven by three converging factors: the Fifth Industrial Revolution, the green energy transition, and geopolitical economics.
His presentation, “Critical Minerals and Fiscal Justice in Africa: Examining Public Debt, Fiscal Accountability, Responsible Financing and Mineral Governance in Zimbabwe,” unpacked the connections between Zimbabwe’s mineral wealth, public debt and fiscal governance.

🌱 Planting Hope, Healing Lives🌳
Today, in partnership with the @forestrycom1 and the dedicated staff of Mt Selinda Mission Hospital, Green Institute proudly planted 96 trees to establish a hospital orchard under the @FAOZimbabwe Transboundary Integrated Sustainable Management of Miombo Woodlands Project.
This orchard is more than just trees in the soil it is a living symbol of care, resilience, and renewal. It will nourish hospital staff, students, and patients with fresh fruit, while also serving as a vital carbon sinks to protect our climate. Each tree stands as a promise of health, shade, and sustainability, reminding us that healing is not only found in medicine but also in the embrace of nature.
Together, we are sowing seeds of hope that will grow into a greener tomorrow for Mt Selinda Hospital and beyond. 🌍💚

🌍 Green Institute on SARCOF‑33 Outcomes: From Observation to Action 🌱
The Thirty‑Third Southern Africa Climate Outlook Forum (SARCOF‑33), hosted in Swakopmund, Namibia, has set a strong tone for regional preparedness. By emphasizing the shift from climate observation to seasonal prediction, the Forum reminded us that information alone is not enough it must drive early warning, preparedness, and timely action.
As Green Institute, we welcome SADC’s strengthened commitment to climate resilience. The call for greater investment in meteorological services and multi‑hazard early warning systems is urgent. Communities across Southern Africa, including Zimbabwe, face increasing risks from El Niño, droughts, floods, and cyclones. Protecting lives and livelihoods requires:
- Investment in meteorology: Adequately funding National Meteorological and Hydrological Services to ensure reliable forecasts.
- Regional cooperation:
Sharing knowledge, tools, and resources across borders to strengthen collective resilience.
- Community‑level preparedness: Translating forecasts into accessible information that empowers households, farmers, and local leaders to act early.
- Integration into planning:
Ensuring climate data informs policies on agriculture, infrastructure, water, and disaster management.
Hon. Veikko Nekundi rightly noted that investment in meteorology is an investment in human security and development. Green Institute echoes this call: climate information must be transformed into action that protects tomorrow, today.
Together, we can build a region where early warning saves lives, preparedness strengthens resilience, and climate justice guides development. 💚✨ – at Republic of Mozambique
