Uganda’s NDC Targets
Cut emissions 24.7% by 2030 through renewable energy, forest protection, and sustainable agriculture.
Uganda’s NDC Targets
Uganda’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) commits to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 24.7% by 2030 compared to business-as-usual levels.
Key focus areas include:
- Expanding renewable energy access.
- Promoting climate-smart agriculture.
- Restoring degraded wetlands and forests.
This is supported by robust monitoring systems and partnerships with the private sector to channel climate finance into high-impact projects.
Forest, Wetland & Land-Use Commitments
Restore 2.5M hectares by 2030, protect biodiversity, and ensure sustainable land use for communities and nature.
Forest, Wetland & Land-Use Commitments
Uganda has pledged to:
- Restore 2.5 million hectares of degraded forest, wetland, and rangeland by 2030.
- Maintain at least 15% wetland coverage nationally.
- Integrate community-based conservation for lasting social and ecological benefits.
These commitments directly support biodiversity protection, water security, and rural livelihoods, while locking away significant carbon stocks.
Article 6 & National Implementation
Leverage Paris Agreement’s Article 6 to attract investment and deliver high-integrity, internationally recognised carbon credits.
Article 6 & National Implementation
Uganda is aligning its carbon market activities with Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, enabling the transfer of Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs) to global buyers.
Benefits include:
- Ensuring all credits meet rigorous verification standards.
- Increasing transparency through national registries.
- Attracting sustainable investment that supports national climate and development goals.
This approach positions Uganda as a leader in high-integrity carbon trading across Africa.
