UNDP Uganda

I am deeply honoured to be participating in #COP31, joining global voices, leaders, policymakers and stakeholders in advancing the climate agenda. As the world convenes again, the need for transition from commitments to implementation could not be more timely. The climate crisis will not be resolved by ambitious declarations alone. It demands tangible action, stronger global partnerships, and, most importantly, accessible and predictable climate finance. For developing countries, particularly those on the frontlines of the climate crisis like Uganda, climate finance must not come at the cost of accumulating unsustainable debt. We need grant-based support, not more loans. We need climate justice, not climate debt. Those who have contributed least to the crisis should not be left carrying its heaviest burdens. This is what climate justice demands. COP31 must be an opportunity to translate promises into meaningful action, mobilise finance at the scale required, and ensure that climate solutions reach the communities that need them most. I will be following and contributing to negotiations and consultations especially on climate finance and Art. 6. #COP31 #ClimateAction #ClimateFinance #ClimateJustice #JustTransition #GlobalPartnerships
