Tanzania is intensifying its fight against environmental degradation to curb carbon emissions and protect biodiversity. The government is focusing on nationwide tree planting targets and stricter enforcement of environmental by-laws to stop the loss of thousands of hectares of forest annually. A key part of the strategy involves transitioning the population away from charcoal and firewood. By accelerating the national clean cooking energy strategy, the country aims to reduce the pressure on its forests and lower the overall carbon footprint of its energy consumption.
