Ahead of the COP26: Namibias fight for climate change mitigation and adaptation

Namibia is severely affected by climate change. Since the country has huge potential for renewable energies such as solar energy, there are opportunities for a sustainable, green growth, also in the context of post-COVID recovery, that the government is aiming to exploit. In its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), delivered at the COP26, the country declares to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 91 percent by 2030. The Hanns Seidel Foundation (HSF), with its office in Windhoek, is engaged in the field of environmental sustainability. HSF is working at the governmental, as well as at community level, to increase awareness about environmental issues, and promotes efforts to tackle the causes and consequences of climate change.
