Championing Sustainability

Launched only this year, the Namibia Chamber of Environment is now in full swing, representing the interests of environmental practitioners and organisations that support the environmental interests of Namibia. With the ethos: the environment is the very foundation of all life and prosperity, the chamber is a mouthpiece for the broader environmental sector. Acting as lobbyist and fund raisers where needed, the Namibia Chamber of Environment (NCE) acts to represent the environmental sector of Namibia.

99FM’s MYD Earth sat down with the Chief Executive Officer of the Namibia Chamber of Environment, Dr. Chris Brown, to talk about this organisation and how it supports sustainability here in Namibia. While in studio, Dr. Brown shares with us on the studies he has done on the proposed phosphate mining project off the coast of Namibia.

Here are some of the areas covered in this episode of MYD Earth :

• What the Namibia Chamber of Environment is all about and how it supports sustainability
• Dr. Brown’s review of the proposed phosphate mining environmental impact assessment done and what his recommendation is going forward
• How the environment is made up of three pillars that drive sustainability
