The Minister of Industrialization and Trade, Lucia Iipumbu, says there is an urgent need for action on climate change, as Namibia only contributes 0,003% of greenhouse gases globally.

IIpumbu was speaking at the Decarbonizing Namibia Conference in Windhoek, which focused on strategies and policies to reduce greenhouse gases in heating, ventilation, and cooling.

Namibia, like many countries around the world, is grappling with the effects of climate change, including rising temperatures, droughts, and floods.
