Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The Uganda Investment Authority (UIA) is proud to announce its participation in the 28th Conference of the Parties (COP 28) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. This pivotal event, scheduled to take place from the 30th of November to December 12th, 2023, brings together world leaders, policymakers, and influencers to address the pressing challenges of climate change.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cWe will run an aggressive promotional drive during COP28 to generate US$ 4 billion in climate- linked investment deals and pursue future leads in renewable energy, energy efficiency, sustainable agriculture, waste management, recycling, and green infrastructure,\u201d said Robert Mukiza, the Director General of UIA.<\/p>\n

He said Uganda, while a low-carbon investment destination, is ideal for green investments as well as adaptive technologies. \u201cUganda offers untapped potential in solar, wind, and hydroelectric power, capitalizing on the growing demand for clean energy solutions. We are also a growing but significant technology hub with attractive prospects in sustainable tourism and the location of one of the world\u2019s largest and most responsible oil and gas projects\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Uganda is located strategically as a gateway to East Africa with a proven record for its investor- friendly policies and dedicated government support as well as one of the fastest growing economic regions in the world, guaranteeing access to domestic, regional, and global markets (quota-free and tariff-free). These include; the East African Community (EAC) with a population of over 300 Million people, the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) with a population of over 600 Million people, the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) with a population of 1.3 Billion people in 55 countries with a combined GDP valued at $3.4 Trillion, Everything But Arms (EBA) with the European Union and Trade agreements with China.<\/p>\n
