🌍🇺🇬 #Uganda is taking a strong and people-centred voice to #COP31.
Key priorities include:
✅ Adaptation grants instead of debt-creating loans.
✅ Increased public climate finance and support for loss and damage.
✅ Showcasing forest conservation, carbon markets and climate governance efforts.
✅ Amplifying youth voices through the Youth Climate Charter and calls for greater inclusion in climate decision-making.
Climate action must deliver for those on the frontlines, especially women, girls and young people.

Climate science serves as the compass guiding effective climate action.
Addressing the Opening Ceremony of #COP31, IPCC Chair Prof. Jim Skea expressed his gratitude to Türkiye for its warm hospitality and underlined that robust scientific evidence is vital to steering implementation into impactful climate action.

#AGHNET; Climate change is already causing immense suffering worldwide, particularly among the more than 3 billion people living in highly vulnerable areas. Our window to avert this environmental catastrophe is narrowing. We only have one planet, one home.

Climate Change is real but we can do something to combat it.🌡️Extreme heat is more than uncomfortable. Global warming can be deadly.
Protecting people from heat must be our priority—from early warnings to safer homes and workplaces. #SDGs.

🌱🇺🇬 #Uganda is ready to scale agroecology nationwide.
A new assessment shows that Uganda has a strong foundation for agroecological transformation, backed by committed farmer organizations, vibrant civil society networks, government champions, a growing organic sector, and the proposed National Agroecology Strategy.
However, significant political and structural barriers remain, including continued support for conventional synthetic-input agriculture, limited local evidence on economic and productivity returns, conventional extension systems, weak bio-input and output markets, costly certification processes, and entrenched interests.
The report highlights that accelerating the transition to sustainable and resilient food systems will require more than technical solutions. Stronger, policy-relevant evidence, compelling narratives, increased investment, and action to address inclusion and market barriers will be essential to unlock agroecology's full potential and transform Uganda's food systems for people and planet. 🌾🌍
