This study was commissioned by the Ministry of Environment and Tourism (MET) for multiple reasons. First, Namibia will soon prepare its Second National Communication (SNC) to the UNFCCC; the findings and recommendations of this study will be incorporated into the SNC. Second, while Namibian stakeholders have been aware of global predictions for sea level rise, it is important that they are informed about the specific changes in sea level and storm surges that could be expected along Namibia's coast; this study addresses Namibia-specific conditions and scenarios. Third, it is important that Namibian stakeholders are informed about the possible impacts to Namibian property, infrastructure, water resources and ecosystems, and the options and recommended strategies for Namibia to adapt to those impacts; this study also addresses those needs.
