In order to achieve ambitious national climate goals, the use of economic instruments such as crop and climate insurance, taxes, feed-in tariffs for renewable energy and other financial incentives are important enablers. The CTCN is collaborating with relevant stakeholders to support local entrepreneurs, small- and medium enterprises and larger businesses, as well as governmental decision-makers, in identifying these economic instruments. Furthermore the CTCN provides technical assistance for strengthening countries’ capacity to access international financing for climate technology opportunities. Below you will find related publications, partners, CTCN technical assistance, technologies and other information for exploring this topic further.

Botswana's energy capacity is thermal, mainly coal-fired, with some small diesel generators in rural areas. The bulk of domestic electricity production is generated by the Morupule coal-fired station; 20% is thermal while only 0,1% was from solar energy in 2016. Botswana has no hydro-electric power resources.

Just over one fifth of households in Lesotho have access to electricity. The adoption of energy efficient technologies beyond lighting has consequently been low in Lesotho to date. Opportunities for adoption of efficient products have been limited due to a range of reasons that include high levels of poverty and cultural factors, particularly in rural areas.

The increase in population and the current rate and ever improving standard of living in Namibia, there is growing concern on whether the finite water resources will still be sustainable to all in the future. If climate change is brought into the mix, it seems apparent that countries like Namibia currently suffering water supply shortages will find it even more difficult to quench the thirst of their people. There is a limited level of water recycling technologies in Namibia, combined with high costs of water.
