CLIMATE EDUCATION AND AWARENESS PROGRAM

Climate Education and Awareness Program

Objective:

Educate Ugandan communities, especially youth, about climate change, sustainable practices, and their role in combating its effects.

Background

Studies by various groups estimate that 70% of Ugandans are unaware of the causes and impacts of climate change, despite experiencing extreme weather events like prolonged droughts and unpredictable rains. For example, in 2016, droughts devastated 1.3 million people in Karamoja, yet many attributed it to natural cycles rather than environmental degradation.

This knowledge gap underscores the need for the Green Caravan Initiative to educate communities on climate change, empowering them with knowledge to adopt sustainable practices and mitigate its impacts.

Through awareness campaigns, the initiative can transform attitudes and foster resilience against Uganda’s growing climate challenges.

Climate Education and Awareness Program​

Activities:

  1. Developing and distributing climate education toolkits (e.g., posters, storybooks, and activity manuals in English and local languages).
  2. Organize workshops in schools and universities on climate action, renewable energy, and sustainable practices.
  3. Conducting teacher training programs to equip educators with knowledge about climate change.
