#Uganda’s National Climate Change Act, 2021 sets a strong legal foundation for climate action covering adaptation, mitigation, MRV, financing & multi-level implementation. #Resilience #NDC #ClimateAction

Whereas there’s growing attention to the broad impacts of #ClimateChange on health, its impact on #SRHR remains less visible.
In this video, we highlight why we must recognize the gendered realities of climate impacts to inform policy, #Adaptation & #SRHR programming. @PlanUganda

🌍Climate action must include everyone—but hidden barriers still exclude the more vulnerable groups.
Our recent blog with @IIED reveals these realities and what we must do to change.

We have experimented with multi-language events and live captioning and have assessed options to offer audio description and sign language interpretation. At #CBA17 we continued our exploration.
ALT CBA17 used live captioning for its opening and closing plenaries, providing conference attendees the chance to read what was being said by the conference speakers while it was happening.

Can we keep #globalwarming below 1.5°C?
#IPCC: If global CO2 emissions continue at current rates, the remaining carbon budget for keeping warming to 1.5°C will likely be exhausted before 2030.
Multiple options to reduce emissions are available now.

Steps to decolonising climate action ... @PanditSush explains what was discussed at #CBA17 - we need to think through our language (global north/south?), relationships and the way we fund. More flexibility is key! #LCAW2023 #LLA @IIED
