The Climate Challenge in Uganda
Uganda's agriculture sector, which employs over 70% of the population, faces unprecedented challenges from climate change. Rising temperatures, unpredictable rainfall patterns, and increased frequency of extreme weather events threaten food security and livelihoods.
Temperature Rise
Average temperatures have increased by 1.3°C since the 1960s
Rainfall Variability
Monthly rainfall decreasing by 6mm per decade
Crop Yield Impact
Maize yields could decline by 25% without adaptation
