Greenwatch is an environmental rights advocacy Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) whose establishment was inspired by principle 10 of the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development. At Greenwatch we believe that environmental rights can be better exercised when people have access to information, can participate in decisions that affect their environment, and have access to justice in case their rights are violated. Greenwatch exists to ensure that every Ugandan citizen enjoys their constitutional right to a clean and healthy environment.
Greenwatch has partnered with the Henrich Boll Foundation, Environmental Law Alliance, True Cost Initiative and the Judicial Training Institute to plan, organize and carry out training for judicial officers including Judges and Justices of the Court of Appeal. The impacts of climate change impact have exacerbated the inequalities that already exist in the societies, increasing the gender gap and creating climatic injustices for the vulnerable people. The judicial plays a very crucial role in dispensing climate justice, the major objective of the trainings is to equip Ugandan’s Judiciary with knowledge on the aspects of climate change and the associated disputes that arise from it. The trainings were specifically curated to enable the judicial officers to understand the basic science relating to climate change, the history and evolution of international laws and policies relating to climate change, the concepts of climate justice, climate action and climate litigation in order to deliver well thought out judgements when faced with climate related disputes. discern the right judgments when interfaced climate-related cases.
This survey will aid Greenwatch to obtain information about the effectiveness of the training to the participants which information will guide the set up and structure of future trainings.
Expected time to be spent on filling out this survey – 5 minutes.
