She said it is regrettable and hypocritical that some of those countries and regions undermining Uganda are responsible for global warming.
The remarks came against the backdrop of a resolution by the EU parliament. It called upon Uganda and Tanzania to stop the EACOP development.
It also denounced what it termed as major environmental and climate risks posed by the Tilenga and EACOP projects. Much was said, including quoting of the International Energy Agency’s 2021 report.
EU lawmakers recalled that to enable the limitation of global warming to 1,5°C, no new oil extraction project should be developed.
Regardless though, President Museveni said the oil production will move on according to the schedule.
He warned Total Energies that Uganda could call upon other players if the company decides to abide by the non-legally binding EU resolution.
“Despite contributing an insignificant amount of global greenhouse gas emissions, the African continent, like many developing regions of the world, suffer the effects of climate change to a disproportionate degree,” Alupo told the General Assembly.
Alupos said climate change actions must uphold the principle of equity and common but differentiated responsibilities, consistent with national context.
She also recommended the reforming of the UN Security Council. This is a matter she regarded as ‘urgent and imperative than never before’.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
