Sustainable Development and Climate Change Mitigation: Innovation, Education and Community Engagement

Given growing pressure on natural resources and increasing momentum toward sustainable and renewable energy, BSU4 will prioritise collaborative research on climate change mitigation approaches that simultaneously promote sustainable economic transformation and improve livelihoods in Uganda.

This Work Package (WP) has three interrelated goals:

1. To develop user-driven, culturally acceptable, and economically viable innovations in sustainable energy.
   ii. To reduce reliance on wood fuel and fossil fuels by designing, adapting, and disseminating these innovations through strong community engagement at all stages of the WP.
   iii. To build future leadership in climate change mitigation by strengthening Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) competences within GU’s Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes.

Work Package Lead: Dr. Expedito Nuwategeka
