Namibia is seeking $250 million in climate funding, with a focus on ensuring green hydrogen projects create jobs for young people. The ||Kharas Regional Council is pushing for tangible benefits from the Climate Investment Fund, including employment and skills development. A recent consultation in Lüderitz highlighted the need to address high youth unemployment in the region. The governor of ||Kharas emphasized the importance of involving local communities in green hydrogen projects. Investments in training and upskilling have been praised as essential for preparing young Namibians for the sector. The Namibia Green Hydrogen Programme is gathering community input to shape its Climate Investment Fund plan. The goal is to ensure green investments lead to economic growth and community benefits. The country is also preparing a Sectoral Transformation Investment Plan for the CIF Industry Decarbonisation Programme.
This matters because it ensures that climate funding directly benefits local youth and supports sustainable economic growth.
