Namibia urges world leaders to reshape global trade and investment systems to support low-carbon development, calling for economic frameworks that align with the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C target.
Speaking at a 30th meeting of the Conference of the Parties side event, minister of environment and tourism Indileni Daniel said trade policy must become a driver of climate-resilient and sustainable economic growth rather than a barrier for developing nations.
Daniel said the world must “transform how it produces, trades and invests”, shifting from extractive models to regenerative and climate-aligned economies.
She noted that Namibia is pursuing this agenda with clear intent under its green industrialisation blueprint, which aims to position the country as a regional hub for renewable-powered, low-emission industries.
