Mountain Rwenzori, Uganda.

The impact of climate change in Uganda can be seen clearly on Mt. Rwenzori glaciers. The glaciers occur on only three peaks of the ranger’s peaks, Mt Stanley, Baker and Speke. Research indicates that the ice caps on the Rwenzori Mountains have shrunk significantly in the last century. The percentage of ice loss on Mt. Baker is 96% followed by Mt Speke 91% while Mt Stanley has the lowest percentage of ice loss at 69%. According to the Global Outlook for Ice and Snow 2007, if they continue to recede as they have since 1906, some experts warn that they will be gone in the next few years. According to the 4th IPCC assessment report, Uganda will experience an increase in average temperatures up by 1.5 degrees Celsius in the next 20 years and it is estimated that by 2080, Uganda’s temperatures will be 43 degrees Celsius.

About Climate change.

Climate change refers to significant, long-term changes in the global climate.

The global climate is the connected system of the sun, earth and oceans, wind, rain and snow, forests, deserts and savannas, and everything people do, too. The climate of a place can be described as its rainfall, changing temperatures during the year and so on.

But the global climate is more than the “average” of the climates of specific places.

A description of the global climate includes how, for example, the rising temperature of the Pacific feeds typhoons which blow harder, drop more rain and cause more damage, but also shifts global ocean currents that melt Antarctica ice.

It is this systemic connectedness that makes global climate change so important and so complicated.

How we contribute to climate change.

United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Climate change is the greatest threat humanity has ever faced and the mobile industry has a big part to play in fighting this global crisis.

In 2016, mobile became the world’s first industry to commit to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Ever since, the industry has been measuring progress year on year in the annual Mobile Industry Impact Report: Sustainable Development Goals. One goal in particular has increasingly become a critical point of focus; SDG 13: Climate Action.

Renewable Energy Is Key to Fighting Climate Change

Renewable energy is one of the most effective tools we have in the fight against climate change, and there is every reason to believe it will succeed. A recent New York Times column seems to imply that renewable energy investments set back efforts to address climate change—nothing could be further from the truth. What’s more, renewable technologies can increasingly save customers money as they displace emissions from fossil fuels.
