Deputy commissioner: Nature offers solutions to climate change
Namibia's deputy environmental commissioner Caroline Garus-Oas says protecting natural ecosystems such as forests, rivers, oceans and wetlands is critical in addressing climate change, noting that trees and algae absorb carbon dioxide and help maintain environmental balance. She also advocates for sustainable cities incorporating climate-smart buildings, solar energy and green spaces as nature-based solutions.
Deputy commissioner's emphasis on nature-based climate solutions aligns with Namibia's environmental priorities and broader sustainability goals.
