Meanwhile, activities at the Uganda Pavilion have officially commenced, with a series of side events providing a platform to showcase the country’s climate initiatives, share knowledge and experiences, strengthen strategic partnerships, and explore opportunities for climate finance, investment, technology transfer and innovation.
The inaugural side event also featured strategic engagement with Ethiopia, represented on the panel as the incoming host of COP32. The engagement provided an opportunity for peer learning, experience-sharing and strengthened regional cooperation on climate diplomacy and the implementation of climate commitments. It also offered valuable insights as Uganda looks towards its future role in the COP process.
As engagements continue, delegates, development partners and other interested stakeholders are invited to visit the Uganda Pavilion, participate in the discussions and explore opportunities for collaboration in advancing climate action.
