Climate change in Uganda

Glaciers on the Rwenzori Mountains, like these on Mount Speke, are melting due to climate change.

The effects of climate change in Uganda are increasingly severe, affecting the lives of the country's citizens and its environment.^[1] It has led to extreme weather events such as unpredictable, prolonged drought and rainfall.^[1] Uganda's climate is mostly tropical with regular rainfall and sunshine patterns. Due to climate change the seasons have changed, with the rainy season becoming more variable in length and droughts more ubiquitous, especially in eastern and northeastern Uganda.^[2] Climate trends have the potential to affect development of Uganda, due to the vulnerability of Uganda's diverse environment.^[3]
