Namibia has called on developed nations to take responsibility for their greenhouse gas emissions and provide reparations for the environmental harm caused by climate change. 

Ambassador Mekondjo Kaapanda-Girnus and Dr. Ndjodi Ndeunyema presented Namibia's arguments at the International Court of Justice, emphasizing the disproportionate impact of extreme weather events on developing nations.
 
"Unless we act now, Namibia will become completely arid and enter a permanent climatological stage with devastating drought. Namibia also stands before you to protect the human rights of Namibian people, present and future. as this very court said in 1996, and I quote, Environment represents the living space developed nations must provide financial support to shift to green energy without hampering development."

Namibia, in concurrence with other developing nations of the world, seeks a legally binding framework to hold wealthier nations accountable and support vulnerable countries with financial and technological aid. 

Dr. Ndjodi Ndeunyema said, "Namibia submits that states violating these obligations bear responsibility, including reparations for the harm they caused."

Guided by Article 95 of its Constitution, Namibia stressed the need for equitable climate solutions and sustainable development.

Namibia's participation at the International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion on the obligations of states in respect of climate change follows Cabinet Decision and UN Resolution.
