KEY NATIONAL PRIORITIES FROM NDP 2010/11-2014/15:In support of social welfare & national development: •Develop capacity for adaptation and mitigation activities•Promote low carbon development path•GHG emission impact of planned development activities •Besides NDP, other sectoral policies and strategies equally do guide actions on CC in their respective sectors, eg.DRR.

Other key policy actions ofrelevance to LECB

• International: • Uganda signatory to UNFCCC and KP and therefore has

obligations and commitments.• NAMAs as part of wider mitigation efforts by developing

countries rooted on sustainable development 1st introduced in Bali in 2007 during UN high level climate change Conference (COP 13).

• Regional: East African CC Policy & CC Master Plan are in place.• National: Green low-emission, climate-resilient development

strategy at the national and Local Government levels supported by UNDP.

2012 Uganda climate change policy: update on status• The National Climate Change Policy process has been highly

participatory and consultative across all sectors and stakeholders .

• The process spear-headed by CCU/MWE with technical back up from consultancy team, started in Oct,2011.

Energy• Private sector-led initiatives (e.g., RE, improved cook stoves)• Regional project: Sustainable Charcoal• UNDP-GEF project: Addressing Barriers to Adoption of

Improved Charcoal Production Technologies and sustainable land management practices

• UNDP MDG Carbon sustainable charcoal NAMA analysis• CLEANSTART (off-grid energy access)

• CDM waste portfolio• REDD+ readiness

Update on the SecondNational Communication

Start date: Jan, 2013End date: Dec, 2014Budget: USD 405,000Components:•National circumstances. •Undertake national GHG inventories for yrs 1994-2004 and make projections of emissions trends from 2005 to 2035.•Vulnerability assessment and national adaptation strategies.

The LECB and SNC complement and reinforce one another. On mitigation, SNC will focus on:•Collecting baseline data/plans for key sectors for assessing GHG mitigation options.•Developing baseline data for projecting GHG emissions trends.•Develop Mitigation scenarios for key socio-economic sectors.•Undertake GHG abatement analysis.•SNC will cover 6 sectors of top GHG sources and sinks.
