Climate change: Zambia to shut down hydropower plant as Kariba dries up

Climate change-related droughts have resulted in a significant drop in water levels on Lake Kariba to the point where there is no longer enough water for hydropower generation. The lake, which is shared by Zambia and Zimbabwe, is on the Zambezi river, one of Africa’s main rivers whose catchment areas have suffered from climate change-related droughts over the past few years.
