Namibia faces significant climate change risks, including increased aridity and heightened climate variability.  Projected impacts include:

• Increased production risks to smallholder agriculture and pastoralism
• Increasing erosion risks
• Increasing risk of flood
• Risks to climate sensitive biodiversity, with impacts on the ecotourism sector

CBA activities in Namibia will focus on agricultural and pastoral communities in the north-central and far northeast region of the country, undertaking community based projects to build resilience to climate change by increasing resilience against climate-induced land degradation.  Namibia's CBA portfolio will be guided by the Namibia CBA Country Programme Strategy.
