Copperbelt

The Copperbelt is a region located in Zambia, known for its rich mineral resources, particularly copper and cobalt. This region has historically been a hub for mining activities, which began in the early 20th century. The Copperbelt is characterized by a series of towns and cities, including Ndola, Kitwe, and Luanshya, which have developed around these mining operations.

In addition to its mining industry, the Copperbelt plays a significant role in Zambia's economy, contributing a substantial portion of the country’s national revenue. The region also has a diverse population with various ethnic groups and cultures, which adds to its vibrant social fabric. Over the decades, the mining industry has undergone various transformations, impacting local communities and the environment.

Efforts are ongoing to promote sustainable mining practices in the Copperbelt, aiming to balance economic growth with environmental protection. As Zambia continues to seek diversification in its economy, the Copperbelt remains crucial in efforts to enhance the mining sector’s sustainability while transitioning towards more varied forms of economic activity.
