Vice President Constantino Chiwenga spoke at a glacier conference in Tajikistan. He asked countries around the world to work together on climate problems. Climate change affects all nations even those without glaciers. Zimbabwe suffered its worst drought in forty years during 2023 and 2024. The country felt these effects despite having no glaciers.

Chiwenga explained how melting glaciers create unpredictable weather everywhere. Droughts and floods happen more often when ice disappears from mountains. Africa could lose three percent of its economy because of climate damage. Countries must save glaciers to protect water supplies globally. This helps keep weather patterns stable.

Zimbabwe builds dams to collect more rainwater for people. Farmers learn new ways to grow crops with less water. The government promotes animals and plants that survive dry conditions. All programs focus on adapting to climate changes. These efforts help communities cope with weather problems.

UN official Amina Mohammed warned about disappearing glaciers worldwide. The planet lost more ice between 2022 and 2024 than ever before. Many glaciers might vanish completely this century. Poor countries suffer most from water shortages and forced migration. Chiwenga invited conference delegates to attend a wetlands meeting in Victoria Falls next July.
