SUMMARY:The Social\, Economic\, and Political Trade-offs of Climate Change Adaptation in Uganda: Towards building resilient communities
DESCRIPTION:Worldwide and Uganda in particular\, climate change continues pose significant challenges to communities. The changing climate\, characterized by erratic rainfall patterns\, prolonged droughts\, land degradation\, and extreme weather events have adversely affected agriculture\, water resources management\, public health\, and infrastructure development. To address these challenges\, various initiatives have been implemented by state actors\, non-state actors\, and local farmers in Uganda. Drawing on a mixed methods study involving over 1500 respondents\, my presentation will examine the social\, economic\, and political trade-offs of climate change adaptation in Uganda. The findings show that while some individuals possess knowledge of adaptive practices through traditional wisdom or local innovations\, others lack access to information or resources necessary for effective adaptation measures. This creates disparities in adaptive capacities among different groups. Gender dynamics and socioeconomic disparities also play a role in exacerbating social inequalities during the adaptation process. Economically disadvantaged smallholder farmers who rely heavily on rain-fed agriculture struggle to invest in technologies that could enhance their adaptive capacities due to financial constraints. Balancing short-term livelihood needs with long-term investments becomes a complex trade-off that policymakers must address. The political dimension of climate change adaptation explores the governance structures required for effective planning and implementation. Coordinated efforts among multiple stakeholders including government agencies at national and local levels as well as civil society organizations are crucial for successful adaptation. However\, “”policy implementation gaps”” often hinder progress due to limited institutional capacity or conflicting priorities across sectors.\nThe presentation emphasizes the importance of integrated approaches that consider the interlinkages between social equity (including gender dynamics)\, economic realities (such as financial constraints)\, and political frameworks in climate change adaptation strategies. Understanding these complexities can help policymakers and practitioners develop more robust approaches that maximize benefits while minimizing negative consequences.
