--- Begin Message ---Dear Colleagues, UNDP Zambia is working with the Government of Zambia through the Ministry of Tourism, Environment and Natural Resources in addressing climate change, which includes a national climate change awareness campaign. In a few weeks, the Ministry will also release the findings of the NAPA to the UNFCCC. UNDP Zambia and the Ministry are also planning to conduct a comprehensive analytical study on the "Economic Impacts of Climate Change in Zambia" to map out the effects on the economy as a whole, i.e. Zambia's GDP and more specifically the costs to different sectors, including agriculture, energy and water, natural resources, and health. The study will draw inspiration from the Stern <http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/independent_reviews/stern_review_economics_cl imate_change/stern_review_report.cfm> Review and the IPCC Assessment <http://www.ipcc.ch/pub/reports.htm> Reports. Before we proceed, we would be very grateful for your comments on the attached <http://stone.undp.org/system2/customtags/binarytemp/210340.7Economic%20Impa cts%20of%20Climate%20Change%20in%20Zambia.%20TOR.doc> draft terms of reference. We will also appreciate receiving copies of terms of reference of similar studies done elsewhere. Kind regards, Carina Carina Kjelstad Programme Officer Energy and Environment Unit UN House P.O.
