Uganda

Uganda is one of the few Parties to include water in their first NDC mitigation plan, with a particular focus on wetland protection, restoration, and management. These activities include a national inventory and assessment of all wetlands found within the country, the development of Ramsar-designated “Wetlands of International Importance” for the purposes of wetland research, conservation, education, and eco-tourism; the design and implementation of local wetland action plans; the identification and protection of 20 “critical and vital” wetland systems; achieving a net increase in total wetland land cover by 2030; and the strengthening of wetland management institutions and governance at both the national and local levels.
