The goal of the National Climate Change Policy (NCCP) is to ensure a harmonised and coordinated approach towards a climate-resilient and low-carbon development path for sustainable development in Uganda. The overarching objective of the policy is to ensure that all stakeholders address climate change impacts and their causes through appropriate measures while promoting sustainable development and a green economy.
To achieve this overarching objective, the policy builds on a number of more specific objectives:
- To identify and promote common policy priorities to address climate change in Uganda.
- To identify and promote adaptation policy responses for Uganda.
- To identify and promote mitigation policy responses for Uganda.
- To identify and promote monitoring, detection, attribution and prediction policy responses for Uganda.
- To support the integration of climate change issues into planning, decision making and investments in all sectors and trans-sectoral themes through appropriate institutional arrangements and legal framework.
- To facilitate the mobilisation of financial resources to address climate change in Uganda.
