Getting to grips with the economics of climate change in Uganda
The much-anticipated Economic Assessment of the Impacts of Climate Change in Uganda, kicked off with an inception meeting on January 20th in the Ugandan capital, Kampala. The study promises a desperately needed quantification of the potential socio-economic costs of climate change for the land-locked east African country.
The overall aim of the study is to provide policy makers and donors in Uganda with the evidence base on the economic impacts of climate change in order to promote increased investment for adaptation in climate-sensitive sectors.
