“The real test is how this reaches COP31 and influences NDC 3.0. We must ensure recommendations accurately capture the voices, experiences and priorities of young people.” — Rita Rukundo, Project Manager, Global Carbon Markets, @giz_uganda #LCOYUg2026

The #KDMECC National Plan of Action is officially launched, moving from commitment to coordinated action on climate change, displacement and human mobility. The NPoA will strengthen resilient livelihoods, early warning, partnerships and #climatemobility planning across #Uganda

“I particularly call upon youth organizations and networks to work through a harmonized approach. Our influence is weakened when messages are fragmented, duplicated or presented through competing platforms. Let us coordinate across regions, sectors and institutions, reconcile different perspectives, use credible evidence, and speak with a coherent national voice.” Mr. Francis Opolot, Assistant Commissioner @CCD_UG
