Thank you, H.E. @adoniaayebare, for representing Uganda at #COP31 and advancing negotiations on mitigation, adaptation, climate finance, technology, just transition, and the second global stocktake. For the young people we work with, especially students, moments like this matter. They show how informed, articulate voices shape critical global discussions that affect the future. Climate issues demand exactly the critical thinking, research, and constructive engagement that our debate and speech platforms help build. We stand ready to keep equipping young Ugandans to contribute meaningfully to conversations on responsible citizenship, accountability, and sustainable development. The Future has a Voice! @Parliament_Ug @Educ_SportsUg @GastaKakaire
