- Abstract:
- Findings of this study show that Arua district is very vulnerable to climate change impact risk. The vulnerability and effects of different climate hazards and land issues vary with social groups and livelihood activities. The key climate hazards identified were drought, erratic weather patterns as well as climate induced pests and diseases. The land rights issues included lack of: (1) land ownership, (2) control over land, and (3) knowledge on land rights. Smallholder farmers were associated with the highest level of exposure to drought, floods, erratic weather patterns as well as climate induced pests and diseases like maize streak, cassava mosaic/brown streak, ground nuts rosette, among others. Women were particularly more affected by drought than other groups. The nature and degree of exposure to these hazards was worse for women/people with disabilities and those living with HIV/ AIDs because of marginalisation and inherent physical inabilities.

- Abstract:
- While the concept of a green economy is new to Uganda, the practice and principles of a green economy are not new. The core principles of a green economy are mainstreamed in a number of government policies, laws, plans and programmes. Uganda has several on-going and planned green growth projects and initiatives by both Government and non-State actors including the following -- the Switch Africa Green project; Uganda Green Incubation Programme; various renewable energy projects; sustainable transport initiatives; cities and urban development initiatives; and climate change measures and actions on mitigation, adaptation and residence. Generally, the policy environment is conducive for the implementation of SDGs, including political commitment to sustainable and inclusive development. However, most of the policies, plans and laws that seek to meet SDGs including through green growth initiatives, have largely remained on paper and are not implemented. Non-state actors, including the civil society and the private sector, are proactively engaged in implementation of green growth initiatives and programmes but only to a certain degree. It is widely acknowledged that huge financial investments are required if the transition to a green economy is to be achieved. Considering that public revenues alone will not be sufficient in financing green growth initiatives in the short to medium term, there is need for mobilising private sector financial investments and development partner support to address the funding gaps. Consequently, there is an urgent need for a concerted engagement of both the public and private sector as well as development partners, to mobilise the required financial resources for funding the transition to a green economy.
