Communal Livestock Farming Practice and Climate Change: The Perception From an Indigenous Ethnic Group in Namibia
Abstract
Climate change is undeniably a concern for many countries including Namibia. Although Namibia contributes relatively few emissions as compared to many sub-Saharan African countries and the Global North, the environmental impact is severely felt. There is a symbiotic relationship between the natural environment sustainability and the livelihood of communal farming settlers living in Namibia. This chapter narrates the perception of two communal farmers in the Okei settlement from a cultural perspective on their adaptation and mitigation to climate change. To achieve the desired objective of this chapter, a narrative research analysis was applied to explore the perception of communal farmers to climate change in their natural settings. The findings in this chapter show that cultural farming practices played a significant role in adaptation to climate change. This chapter provides guides to promote and sustain the core framework which supports communal farming practices in Namibia.
