Global Centre for Climate Mobility’s Post

🇺🇬 As part of ongoing efforts advance the recommendations of the Uganda Climate Mobility Blueprint, the Global Centre for Climate Mobility (GCCM), alongside representatives from the Ministry of Water and Environment, Directorate of Water Resources Management, Uganda and the Ministry of Local Government, met with district governments in Nakasongola – a key area within Uganda’s climate mobility landscape. The discussion focused on understanding local climate mobility dynamics, identifying opportunities for collaboration, and advancing the development of District Climate Change Action Plans (DCCAPs). In Nakasongola, a climate mobility hotspot in Uganda’s cattle corridor, officials highlighted two major trends. First, increasing pastoralist movements into wetlands and other areas are leading to land use conflicts. Second, flooding has triggered both temporary and permanent relocations. The district has adopted various adaptation measures, including water access initiatives, micro-irrigation schemes, climate-smart agriculture, and awareness campaigns through radio programs. The district’s Environment and Natural Resources Committee will play a key role in shaping the next steps of collaboration with GCCM. As we continue working in Uganda, we remain committed to supporting climate mobility solutions in hotspot areas such as Kasese, home to the Muhosha IDP Camp, and Arua, which includes the Imvepi refugee settlement. Strengthening adaptation efforts in these communities remains a priority, ensuring that climate mobility responses are community-driven and action-oriented. Stay tuned for more updates on the Uganda Climate Mobility Blueprint and the next steps in implementing solutions for climate-impacted communities. #ClimateMobility
