context
CONSTITUTION OF REPUBLIC OF UGANDA:
Provides for rights of people to have a healthy environment
UGANDA VISION 2040:
Transforming Uganda from a peasant to a modern and prosperous
country.
KEY NATIONAL PRIORITIES FROM NDP 2010/11-2014/15:
In support of social welfare & national development:
• Develop capacity for adaptation and mitigation activities
• Promote low carbon development path
• GHG emission impact of planned development activities
• Besides NDP, other sectoral policies and strategies equally do
guide actions on CC in their respective sectors, eg.DRR.
Other key policy actions of
relevance to LECB
• International:
• Uganda signatory to UNFCCC and KP and therefore has
obligations and commitments.
• NAMAs as part of wider mitigation efforts by developing
countries rooted on sustainable development 1st introduced
in Bali in 2007 during UN high level climate change Conference
(COP 13).
• They were further clarified during COP 15 (Copenhagen
Accord) ,reinforced by Cancun Agreements at COP 16, and
further reaffirmed in Durban (COP 17) and Doha at COP 18.
• Regional: East African CC Policy & CC Master Plan are in place.
• National: Green low-emission, climate-resilient development
strategy at the national and Local Government levels
supported by UNDP.
2012 Uganda climate change
policy: update on status
• The National Climate Change Policy process has been highly
participatory and consultative across all sectors and
stakeholders .
• The process spear-headed by CCU/MWE with technical back up
from consultancy team, started in Oct,2011.
• So far the final draft NCCCP is ready for Cabinet approval
awaiting finalization of the costed Implementation Strategy
which is in its final stages of completion after validation by the
national CC conference.
• The Goal, Mission and Specific Objectives of the NCCP among
others, provide for Mitigation actions. Policy Priorities
identified include a number of sectors such as LULUCF,REDD+,
Energy, Agriculture, Transport, Wetlands, Wastes
Management, Industrial sector and TT.
Presentation overview
• Policy context
• Key CC initiatives
• NAMA longlist
Select key national initiatives
relevant to NAMAs
• Second National Communication
Energy
• Private sector-led initiatives (e.g., RE, improved cook stoves)
• Regional project: Sustainable Charcoal
• UNDP-GEF project: Addressing Barriers to Adoption of
Improved Charcoal Production Technologies and sustainable
land management practices
• UNDP MDG Carbon sustainable charcoal NAMA analysis
• CLEANSTART (off-grid energy access)
• CDM waste portfolio
• REDD+ readiness
Update on the Second
National Communication
Start date: Jan, 2013
End date: Dec, 2014
Budget:
USD 405,000
Components:
• National circumstances.
• Undertake national GHG inventories for yrs 1994-2004 and make projections
of emissions trends from 2005 to 2035.
• Vulnerability assessment and national adaptation strategies.
The LECB and SNC complement and reinforce one another. On mitigation,
SNC will focus on:
• Collecting baseline data/plans for key sectors for assessing GHG mitigation
options.
• Developing baseline data for projecting GHG emissions trends.
• Develop Mitigation scenarios for key socio-economic sectors.
• Undertake GHG abatement analysis.
• SNC will cover 6 sectors of top GHG sources and sinks.

Update on NAMA Framework
Start date: April 2011
End date: Nov, 2012
Supported by: AfDB
The Bank’s support was to provide consultancy to the CCU/MWE to undertake
study, identify and facilitate process on the country’s NAMAs framework for
submission to the UNFCCC Secretariat in accordance with the Copenhagen
Accord and Cancun Agreements.
Key Priority sectors for NAMAs:
Energy, Agriculture, Forestry and REDD-plus, Transport, and
Wastes.
For each of above, a set of possible actions, programmes and policy measures
have been proposed and prioritized based on contrib. to set of criteria
