Namibia wants financial commitments to combat climate change to be more than US$100 billion. This argument is just one of the many that President Hage Geingob will put forward during his address at the United Nations Climate (UN) Change summit in Glasgow, Scotland on Tuesday During the opening ceremony on Monday, leaders emphasised the need to accelerate action and commit to more ambitious cuts in their countries’ emissions. Minister of Environment, Forestry and Tourism's (MEFT), Pohamba Shifeta told NBC News that Namibia and other small countries have a clear and 'Nationally Determined Contribution' plan to reduce their emissions. He said Namibia would also call on the developed countries to scale up their financing, especially for mitigation and adaptation for developing countries to cope with the rising temperatures. Major known contributors to emissions are the US, China, India among other industrialised countries. Shifeta said Namibia will further appeal to the UN to address reluctance by some member states to reduce carbon emissions despite them being signatories to the 2015 Paris Agreement.
