We need many of these for different ecosystems. But why did we come this far?

Uganda is the 10th most vulnerable country to climate change in the world. Yet it is 156th in terms of preparedness and adaptation. Solution; are our good plans and legal provisions enough. No! strategic interventions in adaptation. What does it take. Good governance/ rule of law

Take home/point for discussion: Natural capital is our wealth (Gold) and we must guard it jealously. Whoever is depleting our natural capital is an enemy and the strong hand of the law should not spare him. GOVERNMENT BUREUCRATICS WHAT ARE WE DOING? History will judge us.

[Dr Sam Koojo Mugume @koojo_sam]

For me the realistic answer to depletion of natural capital is law enforcement. After my observation as a government bureaucratic a Professor from MUK advised me to stop making work plans, budgets and forecasts but start acting. AND I TOTALLY AGREE WITH HIM.

[Dr Sam Koojo Mugume @koojo_sam]

The paper discusses the four types of capital and their relationship. Developing human and social capital at the expense of natural capital leads to calamitous negative impact on the environment. This calls for economic modelling of the different investment approaches.

[Dr Sam Koojo Mugume @koojo_sam]

The paper strongly puts the case for wetland conservation in the country’s development agenda.

[Dr Sam Koojo Mugume @koojo_sam]

Today I had an opportunity to be on a panel to discuss a paper prepared by TEBB on Mabamba wetland in Uganda. Good paper! And well prepared by my former lecturer; Eugen Muramira; it identifies the threats to the wetland, gives values to some of the ecosystem services and clearly

What does it mean to Go Green? Going green means to start doing things little by little to help the environment, or just switch to only buying things that are Eco-friendly and recycling. What do you think government can do to make the country go green.

[Dr Sam Koojo Mugume @koojo_sam]

The biggest challenges of our time are Pandemics, Conflict and Climate Change – Uganda’s green recovery plan is focused at addressing these three challenges, despite limitations in Climate Action financing.

[Dr Sam Koojo Mugume @koojo_sam]

Forests land contribution to overall wealth is low due to rapid depletion and deforestation seen gradually. For more read the adjusted macroeconomic indicators report 2020 by MoFPED

[Dr Sam Koojo Mugume @koojo_sam]

Results from Natural capital accounts show that largest single contribution to Uganda's wealth comes from human capital development. Thus the importance of education and health investments

Coronavirus India live updates: Covid vaccination appointments for 18+ possible once states, pvt centers fix sessions, says govt https://t.co/ERRe6HrVs3

[Dr Sam Koojo Mugume @koojo_sam]

But like most developing countries that highly depend on natural resources, the trend is gradually going down. Call for urgent investment in restoration of vegetation cover (Forests, wetlands etc) and wise use of resources. #climateaction

[Dr Sam Koojo Mugume @koojo_sam]

Uganda's economic development is not yet at the expense of natural capital depletion. ANNI and ANNS all positive. #ClimateAction
