This study research report attempts to unpack climate finance in Ugandan.
In Uganda, global climate finance has been accessed to address climate change. While tremendous progress has been made in producing guiding frameworks including the Uganda National Climate Change Policy, several strategies and currently the climate change law-making process; concrete adaptation and mitigation actions are very thin on the ground. Together with the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS), We have facilitated multi-stakeholder conversations on climate change in Uganda. These conversations have pointed to the need for increased financing to stakeholders including government, private sector and civil society organizations for mitigation and adaptation actions.
Africa is host to 33 of the 46 Least Developed Countries, an indicator of its vulnerability to current and future impacts of climate change. Implementation of adaptation and mitigation actions is therefore urgent but is limited by many barriers including finance. Climate finance is one of the critical means of implementation under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement, required for developing countries to implement their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). ACTADE in partnership with Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) under the Regional Programme Energy Security and Climate Change in Sub-Saharan Africa, organised climate finance talks which attracted a variety of African stakeholders and experts to appreciate the ongoing debate about climate finance and demystify its complexity as elaborated in this reportAfrica is host to 33 of the 46 Least Developed Countries, an indicator of its vulnerability to current and future impacts of climate change.
