Abstract
Namibia has grappled with challenging climate conditions for years, with the recent unprecedented drought exacerbating these challenges and highlighting the urgent need for effective adaptation strategies. Climate change poses severe threats to human life and security, impacting both urban and rural areas. Informal areas are particularly vulnerable to resource depletion, environmental stress, and urban poverty. Namibia requires substantial investment in climate action, climate finance alone is insufficient. Adaptation financing is crucial but falls short, disproportionately affecting vulnerable communities such as women, young people, and rural communities. This policy brief highlights a gap between Namibia's climate policy and its practical implementation of resilient infrastructure. It advocates for closing this gap through increased adaptation financing.
