According to experts in climate change, Namibia is forced to adjust to the drastic weather forecast. The changing of temperature will have a terrific effect on 70 % of the inhabitants in Namibia and this will have a bad impact on the agricultural and fishing sector of the country.
The heavy rainfall has already begun and this year’s overflow level is 8 cms higher than the 2009 flood period. The affected areas in Namibia are the Cuvelai Basin which is found in the central northern part of Namibia where half of the population lives. Since this natural calamity, 21 school kids died in this flood and extensive damages were caused on roads, buildings and other infrastructures. This alarming situation forced people to move away from their homes and causing an unstable routine.
Namibia financial sector will need to adapt to these changes as this might have a bad effect on the Namibians and the economic zone. The country relied mostly on fisheries, agriculture and eco- tourism. There will be a high possible increase in poverty, lack of incomes and unemployment if adaptation is not possible which might lead to weakness in families, said Mr. Ephraim Nekongo the chairperson of the Oshana Regional Youth Forum.
