Increasing variability in rainfall and rising temperatures can reduce the amount of agricultural land, shorten growing seasons, hamper crop production, undermine the (ground) water resources and alter the occurrence and distribution of pests. Uganda is furthermore experiencing significant impacts characterised by changing weather patterns, drop in water levels, increased frequency of extreme weather events (e.g., mudslides, landslides, and flooding) that have increased over the last 30 years . Climate change has affected agriculture, water, health and human settlements. The rural poor and marginalized groups are particularly vulnerable and poorly equipped to cope with and adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change.</p><p>In order to increase its resilience and ability to cope with these effects of climate change, the country need to invest massively in green projects, at different levels. The underlying intervention logic for this action is that access to climate finance is vital for the country to reach its sustainable development and climate resilience objectives.
