Achieving net zero demands more than technology. It also requires listening. Traditional knowledge and community-led action are essential to climate policy. Those who feel the crisis first must lead the response. #ClimateActionNow @YGCUganda @WemUganda @WogemU @yecaug

We couldn’t be happier. A big win for civic participation. Every Ugandan has a right to a clean and healthy environment and rights go hand in hand with responsibilities. It was our collective responsibility to oppose this development, we did it and a green space was saved.

@WogemU was honoured to donate 50 trees to #SHAU during the #2026 Youth #Summit for Persons with #Disabilities , commemorating Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Day. We planted a #tree because climate change affects everyone, yet persons with disabilities are affected differently.

Climate change vulnerability is shaped by more than the hazard itself. Two communities can face the same issue but have very different capacities to respond. #Adaptation must therefore reduce vulnerability and strengthen people's ability to cope, recover, and build resilience.

Africa’s energy transition can't happen without finance. Resources must reach communities, protect livelihoods, and expand meaningful participation, especially for women and historically excluded groups, shaping our renewable future. #ClimateFinance #JustTransition

In Uganda, solid biomass accounts for about 90% of final energy consumption, while more than 1 billion people across sub-Saharan Africa still lack clean cooking access. What does a just energy transition look like in practice? #NEZAUganda #JustTransition #EnergyJustice

Peaceful civic participation must not be criminalised. Uganda must protect citizens raising concerns over their land, livelihoods, and the environment. We call for the immediate release of the detained activists and meaningful engagement with their petitions.#ProtectCivicSpace!

15 youth, including 5 women, have reportedly been arrested while attempting to deliver petitions to parliament and @TotalEnergies calling for an oil-free, people-centered Uganda. They were exercising their constitutional right to participate in public affairs and accountability.
