Environment, Climate Change, and Natural Resource Management
We tackle the twin challenges of environmental degradation and climate change through the Climate Change Leaders Advancing for Peace (CCLAP) program and community-led conservation. Our initiatives promote climate-smart agriculture, tree planting, water conservation, and sustainable grazing practices, while also reducing resource-based conflicts through negotiated sharing agreements.
Climate Change Leaders Advancing for Peace (CCLAP) – Uniting Communities for Resilience and Harmony
In Karamoja, climate change is not an abstract concept—it is a lived reality. Droughts are longer, pastures are shrinking, and competition over scarce natural resources fuels tensions between communities. The
Climate Change Leaders Advancing for Peace (CCLAP) project, implemented by the Karamoja Peace and Development Agency (KAPDA) with support from partners, is bringing communities together to address these twin challenges of environmental degradation and conflict.
