Uganda CSOs urge Govt on vulnerable populations in the Climate Change Bill

Ahead of this Year's Climate negotiations in Bonn, Ugandan CSOs under the auspices of Climate Action Network Uganda and the Environmental and Natural Resource CSOs resolved that Government of Uganda should ensure that the Climate Change Bill addresses the needs and concerns of vulnerable communities, indigenous peoples and specifies the roles of civil society and the private sector in scaling-up efforts and support actions to reduce emissions and build resilience to the adverse effects of climate change

For the COP23 process, Ugandan CSOs call on parties to clarify on the features of the NDCs; provide information to facilitate clarity, transparency and understanding of the NDCs. The CMA should agree to have a minimum standard in the NDC with a new way of accounting for NDCs; urge Parties to consider establishing the Adaptation Benefit Mechanism as a component of the Framework for Non-Market Approaches (NMA) so as to pursue voluntary cooperation in the implementation of NDCs .
