Climate change is a global emergency that goes beyond national borders. It is an issue that requires coordinated solutions at all levels.

What is the main cause of climate change in Uganda?

Uganda's greenhouse gas emissions are dominated by the agriculture sector, with enteric fermentation and inefficient animal waste management systems as the leading contributors

How is Uganda being affected by climate change?

Uganda has in past decades experienced more erratic rainfalls leading to frequent busting of rivers, mudslides and landslides that lead to loss of lives and property of communities especially those living in the mountainous areas.

In 2012, forest fires occurred in the Rwenzori region, causing the ice fields to melt, leading to the flooding of the river around the mountain. In January 2022, intense rain around Mount Muhavura damaged buildings and roads in Kisoro District, especially affecting Nyarusiza, Muramba and Bunagana.

What are the effects of the floods in Mt Elgon Region, Mbale?

But it's estimated that 5,600 have been displaced from Mbale City alone and 400,000 people have already been cut off from the national water grid. Latrines and sewage systems have been damaged, polluting the environment. Furthermore, food shortages could result from 5000 acres of crops being destroyed.
