Geingos talks investment landscape at Africa Hydrogen Summit

Namibia is hosting the Global African Hydrogen Summit. The event brings together heads of state, ministers, business leaders, and investors from Africa and beyond. The goal is to drive partnerships and secure investments in key green energy projects across the continent. Among the speakers on Wednesday was former First Lady, Madam Monica Geingos, who gave an overview of Namibia’s investment landscape to investors.

Another moment at the summit was the address by the Governor of the Bank of Namibia, Johannes !Gawaxab, who presented the role of central banks in combating climate change and supporting the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon economy.

!Gawaxab acknowledged the severity of the climate crisis, which has transitioned from a future concern to an immediate reality. He stressed that central banks, traditionally focused on maintaining price stability and safeguarding financial systems, now face the added responsibility of addressing the economic and financial risks brought on by climate change.
