Within the Zambian Youth Parliamentary Caucus, Hon. Twaambo Mutina guides fellow members of Parliament in their advocacy efforts to address pressing challenges in the environmental sector.
This includes active involvement in issues related to climate change, the transition to renewable energy, and the critical evaluation of existing policies and laws.
He is working together with the Ministry of Green Economy. While collaborating they were influencing the enactment of the climate change bill into law, reviewing the existing legal barriers in the energy transition agenda, influencing domestication and the enforcement of climate change protocols.
In his view,
“The discourse around the tripling target must be widely popularized and supported by the necessary financial mechanisms. If effectively harnessed, this initiative has the potential to contribute significantly to skill development for the younger generation”.
Hon. Mutinta highlights that the knowledge levels on the tripling target in Zambia are very low.
He further mentions the importance of raising awareness on the tripling target and building capacity for Parliamentarians to achieve higher influence for more funding to the energy sector through committees and budgets processes.
