Namibia hunts for climate investors at COP31
Namibia is seeking international investors to help finance its US$14-billion (approximately N$240-billion) climate plan aimed at addressing climate change, protecting water resources and creating jobs by 2035. Minister of environment, forestry and tourism Indileni Daniel says the money is needed to implement Namibia’s third Nationally Determined Contribution, launched in September this year. The plan includes 72 measures and 216 actions across 13 sectors. Daniel says Namibia wants to turn its climate plans into projects that benefit communities. “We have not travelled from Namibia to Antalya to merely participate in discussions. We are here to build partnerships and advance practical cooperation,”
