Response to Budget Speech 2024

The Botswana Climate Change Network (BCCN) acknowledges government's presentation of the 2024/2025 Budget Speech, recognizing its pivotal role in shaping our nation's economic trajectory and addressing the urgent challenges of climate change. We commend the government's commitment to economic resilience, growth, and the initial steps towards embracing a green economy. However, we emphasize the need to adopt a green budgeting approach to the national budget process for the integration of climate considerations throughout all levels of the national budgeting process.
