Summary
The document warns that Namibia is expected to experience temperature increases exceeding the global average if global warming reaches 1.5°C. Projected impacts include increased heat, drought, and water scarcity, which threaten crops, livestock, and human health. It recommends diversifying agriculture, improving soil and water conservation, and strengthening community support systems to build resilience.
Key insights
- Namibia is projected to experience a temperature increase that exceeds the global average if global warming reaches 1.5°C, with global temperatures already having risen by 1°C since pre-industrial times.
- Regional temperature and rainfall projections for a 1.5°C global warming scenario include: Arid South (+2.1°C temp, -3% rainfall), Arid North (+2.1°C temp, -4% rainfall), Semi Arid South (+2°C temp, -4% rainfall), Semi Arid North (+1.9°C temp, -7% rainfall), and Hyper Arid (+1.6°C temp, -6% rainfall).
- Climate change is expected to increase the prevalence of heat, drought, and water scarcity, which will negatively impact crops and human lives. This includes a projected return of malaria to Namibia as conditions become more favorable for mosquitoes.
- Environmental risks include the potential loss of 30 species of plants, increased soil erosion from pests and livestock, and the spread of cholera and hepatitis E due to contaminated water sources.
