N2  - This paper is an insightful perspective analysis of Botswana climate change policies in an effort to establish their effectiveness in relation to regional and international initiatives. For a critical review of both mitigation and adaptation efforts by different countries, the effectiveness is analysed, including their strengths and inadequacies noted, and recommendations made towards enhancing policy coherence and effectiveness. It examines the steps Botswana and other countries have taken to cut greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy efficiency, support the use of renewable energy sources, and implement sustainable land management practices. The paper also delves into Botswana's efforts to build climate resilience, such as creating a National Adaptation Plan and incorporating climate considerations across various sectors.
