The town of Luderitz and Aus Settlement in the ||Karas Region are poised to undergo significant transformation, driven by new developments in green hydrogen and in the oil and gas industry. 

The Presidency says President Nangolo Mbumba’s working visit to Germany and Spain underscored Namibia’s commitment to fostering stronger international partnerships to promote economic growth and sustainable development.

The green hydrogen development near Lüderitz is not merely an energy initiative but a catalyst to socio-economic transformation. 

Incorporating green hydrogen in the school curriculum to create awareness and opportunities in green energies took centre stage at the Education Conference underway in Windhoek.

The 3rd Junior National Council session commenced today.

Officially opening the session, Vice President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah urged the young MPs to engage passionately in their discussions, emphasising that their contributions would shape the future of the country.

Namibia has secured a significant funding package of 8.8 million euros to bolster its green industrialisation efforts, as announced by Green Hydrogen Commissioner James Mnyupe during the closing of the Global Green Hydrogen Summit in Windhoek.

Namibia has been warned against the inherent risks associated with developments in the oil and gas sector and the emergence of the green hydrogen sector and to remain vigilant.

Kunene Governor Marius Sheya says green hydrogen opportunities offered to young people in the region have not been responsive to the needs of school drop-outs.

Sheya is advocating for their inclusion in future projects.

Education is the key to accessing opportunities for development presented by both the Namibian government and through the country's natural resources.

This was said by Swapo Party member Verna Sinimbo at Sifuha Village in the Zambezi Region.

Namibia is working with its neighbours to provide a new gateway for modern trade and low-carbon industrial opportunities, placing Namibia and the region as frontrunners in the global green hydrogen economy.
