Climate Action is a driver of economic and social transformation that offers benefits beyond environmental protection to all Ugandans.
Through @UNDP’s Climate Promise initiative - a partnership between the Government of 🇺🇬Uganda (@GovUganda) and the 🇬🇧United Kingdom (@UKinUganda) - UNDP has supported #Uganda in strengthening its national climate ambition and delivery, including the update and publication of Uganda’s NDC 2.0, and more recently, the development of NDC 3.0.
Equally, Uganda’s climate finance gap has been narrowed by strengthening governance systems, including support for the Climate Finance Unit within the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development (@mofpedU) , and the development of the National Climate Finance Strategy (2024–2030).

Great opportunity for discussions with Mr. Themba Bhebhe, the African Development Bank (@AfDB_Group) Country Manager.
We exchanged widely on how pairing investments in large infrastructure initiatives with dedicated capacity development, especially for the #youth, can unlock wider opportunities for #jobs, #growth and #long-term transformation. 🇺🇬
Through the #IBSA Facility and in partnership with @MEMD_Uganda, @UNDP is supporting smallholder farmers to adopt #ClimateSmart agriculture, reducing diesel based irrigation.
25 farmers in Luweero, Nakasongola, and Kiryandongo are already benefiting from reliable solar irrigation systems, that are reducing production costs and increasing yields.
#WED2026
In fulfilment of Article 4 of the Paris Agreement, Uganda's NDC 2.0 committed to an ambitious economy-wide mitigation target of 24.7% reduction below Business As Usual (BAU) levels by 2030.
As NDC 3.0 is being finalised, and as we build up towards #WorldEnvironmentDay, we highlight how @UNDPs collaboration with the @GovUganda and other partners in emissions reduction is also transforming lives across Uganda. 🇺🇬☀️
From solar-powered health centres and water systems, to modern markets, border posts, and agricultural facilities, these investments are expanding access to clean energy, strengthening resilience, and advancing Uganda's transition to a low-carbon future.
Here's how⬇️

#SDG13
@UNDP, in partnership with the @GovUganda through the @mia_uga, has solarized 7 key border points, strengthening service delivery through clean, reliable energy and enhancing climate-resilient border operations.⚡️
By replacing diesel generators with solar power, this intervention is supporting Uganda’s emissions reduction efforts under its NDC (24.7% reduction target by 2030).🔋

I paid a courtesy call on the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Health @MinofHealthUG - Dr. Diana Atwine @DianaAtwine yesterday to discuss opportunities for strengthening collaboration in Uganda’s health sector.
Our discussions focused on advancing strategic partnerships in health security and sustainable development, underscoring a shared commitment to improving health outcomes and building resilient health systems.

As we prepare for #WED2026, we recognize the role of school-led tree-growing programs like the Nehemiah Initiative in advancing Uganda’s Climate ambitions through her Nationally Determined Contributions #NDCs. These efforts support the country’s commitment to keep greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at or below 24.7% by 2030.
They also nurture environmentally conscious citizens while contributing to ecosystem restoration, carbon sequestration, and community resilience - key priorities under the Paris Agreement that calls for collective action to limit global warming and promote sustainable, low emission development pathways.
