Oxfam's new report, Climate change and Poverty in Uganda, examines the climate impacts in Uganda on agriculture, on pastoralism, health and water. People in Uganda, whose contribution to global warming has been minuscule, are feeling the impacts of climate change first and worst.

The report also sets out detailed recommendations for adaptation, including calling for funding from rich country governments, which have special responsibilities to ensure that good adaptation plans don't fail to be implemented for lack of money. This international adaptation finance must not come out of existing aid commitments made for poverty reduction, but must be new and additional finance.

Turning Up the Heat followed a month of research in Uganda by Oxfam's John Magrath. You can read his blog of the visit in our Climate Change and Poverty blog.

The report was launched on 17 July in Kampala, and received heavy coverage in the Ugandan media, including New Vision, one of the two main newpapers.
