climate risk country, Uganda Country Profile V1, This profile is part of a series of Climate Risk Country Profiles developed by the World Bank Group (WBG). The country profile synthesizes most relevant data and information on climate change, disaster risk reduction, and adaptation actions and policies at the country level. The country profile series are designed as a quick reference source for development practitioners to better
integrate climate resilience in development planning and policy making. This effort is managed and led by Ana E. Bucher (Senior
Climate Change Specialist, WBG).
This profile was written by MacKenzie Dove (Senior Climate Change Consultant, WBG). Additional support was provided by
Yunziyi Lang (Climate Change Analyst, WBG), Kanta K. Rigaud (Lead Environmental Specialist, WBG), Uganda’s Climate
Change Department under the Ministry of Water and Environment (CCD-MWE) and the Uganda’s Office of the Prime Minister’s
Department for Disaster Preparedness and Management (OPM). Climate and climate-related information is largely drawn from the Climate Change Knowledge Portal (CCKP), a WBG online platform with available global climate data and analysis based on the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports and datasets.
