In bid to address climate change effects in Uganda, Chief Executive Officers (CEO’) have been urged to integrate sustainable practices in their business operations to avert risks associated with climate change.
The call has been made during the 14th edition of the 2023 Annual CEO Forum in Kampala under the theme, “Navigating the Climate Crisis: A Call to Action,”.
The Forum attracted over 100 business leaders and key decision makers who have deliberated on key issues that not only drive organizational success but champion sustainability and conservation of the environment in the society.
Country Team Leader, CEO Summit Uganda, Stephen Mukasa, urged CEOs to forge collaborative solutions that will address the climate crisis in Uganda by adopting robust corporate activities in their day to day operations.
At the same function, the Head of the National SDG Secretariat, at the Office of the Prime Minister in Uganda, Albert Byamugisha commended the CEO forum for offering a valuable platform for business leaders to exchange ideas to improve the economy.
Byamugisha revealed that the Sustainable Development Goal 13 urges all United Nations member states, including Uganda, to take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts and in this effort tangible actions are being explored to regulate and implement all passed regulations and policies to protect the environment.
