The Government of Uganda and UNICEF have today launched a pioneering report that highlights the impact of climate change and urbanization on children.
For the well-being of children including care, love stability and adequate support.
Launched on 19 July 2017 in Kampala, the report notes that climate change, environmental degradation and urbanization are increasingly responsiblen for creating new risks, and putting pressure on poverty reduction efforts while fostering and deepening socio-economic inequities. It outlines policy recommendations to among others, mitigate impacts of climate related hazards on children. |
By 2035, it is estimated that 30 percent of the population will be urban dwellers, a high proportion of them children and youth. This Policy Brief highlights the child poverty rates in Kampala district, threats to adolescent urban youths and puts forth policy recommendations to reduce the risks of rapid urbanisation and give children and young women hope for the future. |
