READ MOREUganda has increased its ambition to reduce greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions from 22% to 24.7% in the new climate change plan also known as the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). The plan presents the country''s intention to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, deal with the effects of climate change and fulfill aspirations of the Paris
READ MORE2010-2019 is the warmest decade on record. On the current path of carbon dioxide emissions, the global temperature is expected to increase by 3 to 5 degrees Celsius by the end of century. To avoid the worst of warming (maximum 1.5°C rise), the world will need to decrease fossil fuel production by roughly 6 per cent per year between 2020 and 2030.
READ MOREIn Kampala, Uganda, hundreds of thousands of motorcycles are on the roads, with tens of thousands acting as taxis, or "boda bodas." the study found that electrifying motorcycle taxis reduced annual emissions of carbon dioxide by 36%, carbon monoxide by 90%, nitrogen oxide by 58% and hydrocarbon by 99%. Conversely,

READ MOREFor Kampala, the Strategy must address two issues: the short and long term adaption of the City to climate change impacts, and the low carbon development of the City. The pathway to sustainability is a daily work in a such fast growing city where planning activities are often overtaken by events.
