Take home/point for discussion: Natural capital is our wealth (Gold) and we must guard it jealously. Whoever is depleting our natural capital is an enemy and the strong hand of the law should not spare him. GOVERNMENT BUREUCRATICS WHAT ARE WE DOING? History will judge us.

For me the realistic answer to depletion of natural capital is law enforcement. After my observation as a government bureaucratic a Professor from MUK advised me to stop making work plans, budgets and forecasts but start acting. AND I TOTALLY AGREE WITH HIM.

The paper discusses the four types of capital and their relationship. Developing human and social capital at the expense of natural capital leads to calamitous negative impact on the environment. This calls for economic modelling of the different investment approaches.

The paper strongly puts the case for wetland conservation in the country’s development agenda.

Today I had an opportunity to be on a panel to discuss a paper prepared by TEBB on Mabamba wetland in Uganda. Good paper! And well prepared by my former lecturer; Eugen Muramira; it identifies the threats to the wetland, gives values to some of the ecosystem services and clearly

The biggest challenges of our time are Pandemics, Conflict and Climate Change – Uganda’s green recovery plan is focused at addressing these three challenges, despite limitations in Climate Action financing.

Forests land contribution to overall wealth is low due to rapid depletion and deforestation seen gradually. For more read the adjusted macroeconomic indicators report 2020 by MoFPED

Results from Natural capital accounts show that largest single contribution to Uganda's wealth comes from human capital development. Thus the importance of education and health investments

Coronavirus India live updates: Covid vaccination appointments for 18+ possible once states, pvt centers fix sessions, says govt timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/coronavi…

But like most developing countries that highly depend on natural resources, the trend is gradually going down. Call for urgent investment in restoration of vegetation cover (Forests, wetlands etc) and wise use of resources. #climateaction

Uganda's economic development is not yet at the expense of natural capital depletion. ANNI and ANNS all positive. #ClimateAction
