Climate Change Department (CCD)

#Thankyou to our speakers and all our participants for an unforgettable day at the 2nd Professor John Ntambirweki Memorial Lecture. Climate change affects us all, requiring tailored interventions to address its impact on our communities. Uganda is fortunate to be among the pioneers of climate change action in Africa, with dedicated climate change legislation guiding our efforts. It was an honor to hear and share insight with Prof. Patricia Kameri-Mbote, Hon. @Alex Ruhunda, and Prof. Pelucy Ntambirweki Kabahuma, who shared their insights on this critical issue. Their discussions, featured on NTV, underscored the importance of policy, collaboration, and action in the fight against climate change. #ClimateAction #Sustainability #ProfessorJohnNtambirwekiLecture #Uganda #Policy #EnvironmentalLeadership

A good 3 minutes read on the launch of Capacity Building Initiative for Transparency Phase II (CBIT II) Project: On November 1, 2024, Uganda launched the Capacity Building Initiative for Transparency Phase II (CBIT II) project in Kampala, funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) with $1.5M. Building on the successes of CBIT Phase I, this phase aims to enhance Uganda’s capacity to meet the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) under the Paris Agreement. Key goals include: ✅ Strengthening institutional and technical capacities for GHG data management. ✅ Improving data transparency, reliability, and reporting. ✅ Promoting gender-inclusive development. Dr. Alfred Okidi Okot highlighted the project’s role in advancing credible and accountable climate action, as Uganda works toward reducing GHG emissions by 24.7% by 2030. With continued collaboration, Uganda is setting a model for climate resilience and transparency in the region. #ClimateAction #Transparency #Uganda #ParisAgreement #CBIT #Sustainability #GHGReporting (Global Environment Facility - GEF), Implementing Agency (Conservation International), Executing Agency (Ministry of Water and Environment, Climate Change Department (CCD)), and Executing Support Partner (Africa Innovations Institute) Mrs. Margaret Athieno Mwebesa Francis Opolot Elizabeth Ahumuza Felly Mugizi Tusiime Cecilia Alonyo
