The article emphasizes Namibia's commitment to combating climate change through its embrace of green hydrogen as a key component of social-economic transformation. Despite skepticism from economist Rowland Brown, the government views green hydrogen as a strategic bet in its development plans, along with the oil, gas, and mining sectors. Namibia has already secured substantial grant funding and established multiple green hydrogen pilot projects, positioning itself as a global leader in research and development in this field. Concerns raised by environmentalists about the impact of green hydrogen projects on Tsau //Khaeb national park are met with assurances from proponents that careful planning and adherence to international environmental standards will minimize disruption. The government has commissioned a Strategic Environmental and Social Assessment (Sesa) study to evaluate the potential impacts of various projects, including green hydrogen, on biodiversity and society. Through this approach, Namibia aims to strike a balance between economic development and environmental conservation, setting an example for sustainable growth in the region.
