Climate risks have posed serious threats to Uganda's key development sectors, such as agriculture, water resources, fisheries, tourism, and health, which are dependent and sensitive to climate variability and change. Young people in Uganda (who constitute 78% of Uganda’s population) are among the most affected, with worsening droughts and flooding exacerbating pre-existing socioeconomic challenges such as youth underemployment, food insecurity, and inadequate social protection. Against this background, the Green Eco-lab project has been designed as a 5-month pilot to position young people as agents of change, entrepreneurs and innovators around coping with the negative effects of climate change in communities.
