Summary:
National adaptation programmes of action (NAPAs) provide a process for Least Developed Countries (LDCs) to identify priority activities that respond to their urgent and immediate needs to adapt to climate change – those for which further delay would increase vulnerability and/or costs at a later stage. The following summarizes the NAPA for Uganda.
Climate Related Hazards
* Flooding (flash) * Drought and low flows * Landslides * Sand/dust storms * Heat waves * Forest fires
Main Human Vulnerabilities and Livelihood Impacts
* Reduced agricultural production * Water shortage and/or groundwater depletion * Increased disease and/or other health problems * Food security * Loss of forest area or production * Loss of land or degradation
Priority Adaptation Projects
1. Community Tree Growing Project 2. Land Degradation Management Project 3. Strengthening Meteorological Services 4. Community Water and Sanitation Project 5. Water for Production Project 6. Drought Adaptation Project 7. Vectors, Pests and Disease Control Project 8. Indigenous Knowledge (IK) and Natural Resources Management Project 9. Climate Change and Development Planning Project
