MUCCRI Activities
MUCCRI engages in packaging, communicating, and disseminating Climate Change information, knowledge products, and innovations to the wider public. A prime feature in our training and research activities is to provide domestic and regional policy makers with the necessary scientific support, technology, and guidance in adapting to and mitigating the impacts of climate change. It continues to build local, national, and global networks and partnerships around climate change and development. MUCCRI also aspires to provide a deeper understanding that will enhance public awareness and support learning processes of societies to effectively respond to Climate Change and extreme weather events in both short-and long- time scales.

Conducting outreach activities through Climate Champions has created a legacy of trained and climate capable individuals from around Uganda, who have become a nationwide network of local/ regional “go-to” people for accurate and useful Climate Change advice to support a climate resilient Uganda. The holdings of Climate Change Boot Camps, an intensive training program for university students in Climate Change Science, impacts, and responses, has helped develop the knowledge based for youth around climate change and trained them on how to share that knowledge.
4. Packaging, communicating and disseminating climate change information knowledge products and innovations:
MUCCRI is communicating with external stakeholders, with a focus on farmers and disseminating Climate Change adaptation information and guidance. Research results and other relevant information are disseminating through the most appropriate channels to a wide range of end-users.
