This report provides an overview of Namibia’s engagement with global efforts to address climate change, recognising the growing scientific evidence that human activities are driving increases in greenhouse gas concentrations and global temperatures. Industrial, agricultural and related processes continue to release significant amounts of CO₂, methane, CFCs and other greenhouse gases, contributing to global warming and altering climate systems worldwide. These changes pose severe risks to ecosystems, economies and human wellbeing, with virtually all aspects of life expected to be affected. In response, Namibia has committed to various international climate conventions and protocols, and has undertaken national obligations aimed at mitigation, adaptation and public awareness. The development of Namibia’s First National Communication to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), prepared by the CSIR for the National Climate Change Committee (NCCC), represents an important milestone in this process. The NCCC is mandated to oversee national capacity building, information dissemination and public awareness initiatives to support informed decision-making and strengthen national resilience to climate impacts.
