Namibia has called for continued climate financing and stronger cooperation with the Green Climate Fund to strengthen resilience against climate change and recurring droughts.

Africa has received a climate finance boost after the Green Climate Fund (GCF) approved US$440 million (N$7.44 billion) in new funding, representing 46% of its latest allocations. 

This brings Africa’s total share of the Fund’s global portfolio to about US$7.6 billion (N$128.43 billion).

The National Planning Commission (NPC) hosted a workshop where Director General Kaire Mbuende said the Climate Investment Funds Industrial Decarbonisation Programme could help accelerate Namibia's economic diversification under the Sixth National Development Plan (NDP6).

The Environmental Investment Fund (EIF) is hosting a workshop aimed at speeding up access to climate finance from the Green Climate Fund.
