Other commodities that have seen growth in export volumes include frozenfish,frozenmeat,saltbagged,woodenproductsandsteelwhich has ween an impressive 178% increase due to high demand in key markets.

On the other hand, malt importers have grown by 52% driven by the strongperformanceofNamibianbeerproductsinemergingmarketssuch as South Africa and Tanzania. The importation of machinery also increased by 52% due to new mining developments in neighbouring countries such as Zambia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Botswana.

Ariseinsealevelsandstormsurges,changesinseatemperatureandacidityleadingtoreducedfish populations, and a decline in catches such as sardines, and coastal erosion are all due to climate change.

Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. During a workshop on Climate Change held by the Namibia Media Professionals Union (NAMPU) in collaboration with the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) on 24 and 25 February in Windhoek for media professionals in Namibia, aimed at enhancing the capabilitiesofjournaliststoreporteffectively and have a better understanding of climate changeandotherenvironmentalissuesfacing Namibia,ProfessorSimonShifa,anEnvironmental Scientist shared some facts on why Namibia is vulnerable to climate change. Shifa mentioned that Namibia is one of the countries in Sub-Saharan Africa with low, highly variable rainfall of 25mm-700mm.

Shifasaidclimatechangeisexpectedtoworsen the highly variable climate of Namibia and Namibia's economy is largely dependent on natural resources such as agriculture, mineral deposits, ecosystems, marine fisheries,andbiodiversity “Asadevelopingcountry,Namibiahasleastadaptivecapacitydueto lackofresources,skillsandtechnology”.

Shifa said changes in temperature, vegetation,water,andthelocationofwildlifewill, for instance, hinder wildlife safaris, water sports, and backpacking activities in Namibia.

We will miss you dearly & will treasure all the beautiful memories we had. You are now at a better place, Rest In Peace mommy

Love you always. Elmarie, Mario, Amore, Amira

You left us beautiful memories; your love is still our guide. Although we cannot see you, you're always at our side.

We love you and we miss you mommy, you will never be forgotten, we think of you each day. Psalm48:14.

Somewhere in my heart beneath all the grief and sadness, is a smile I still wear at the sound of your name. Mommy you will always have a special place in my heart, though it is heavy now I am grateful for the way mommy impacted my world, for teaching us generosity and to care for others. Mommy will always be loved and forever missed... From Brydie, Shiniel, Braydon, Shaldon and Isaiah

Mommy I was never prepared for you to pass so soon. I wish to have made more wonderful memories with you. It saddens me deeply that our children will never know their awesome grandma. I am grateful and proud to be your daughter. I will always keep your memory and wishes alive.

Thank you mommy for the many things you have taught me and for loving me unconditionally. I will always be your sonskyn. Forever Loved Shawnee and Taryn.

Mommy I still needed you so much.

My heart and soul are in pieces. I was not ready to say goodbye. I already miss you so much.

Sadness and grief change our lives radically, especially the sadness that death brings.
