Zimbabwe is richly endowed with natural resources which include renewables (land; forest, water; wildlife; sunshine) and non-renewables (oil; gas; minerals) among others. The exploitation of these natural resources present immense opportunities to sustain high levels of income based resource rents. The purpose of this study is to provide policy makers and the broader public with information that can be used to inform the strategies designed to ensure that the country fully realises benefits of its rich natural resources endowments to drive economic growth and transformation to achieve the upper middle income status by 2030. While the country has diverse natural resource the study is not exhaustive but exploratory and only focused on a few natural resources: minerals; forestry; wildlife and solar energy.
