Climate Change

The Climate Change Division conducts strategic, evidence‑based research to strengthen Botswana’s capacity to respond to climate change. As Botswana’s National Designated Entity (NDE) for the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN), we facilitate the transfer of climate‑smart technologies and solutions.

 
 
We focus on climate‑sensitive sectors—agriculture, water, energy and health—providing actionable insights for policy, decision‑making and technology adoption.
