Uganda assumed the co-chairmanship role of the Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Action at the 2025 Spring meetings of the World Bank Group and International Monetary Fund in Washington D.C., United States of America.
Uganda will co-chair with the Netherlands. The Minister of State for Finance in charge of General Duties Henry Musasizi on behalf of the Government of Uganda received the co-chairmanship role from H.E Sri Mulyani Indrawati, the Finance Minister of Indonesia (outgoing co-chair).
“We deeply appreciate the trust placed in us and we are committed to advancing our shared climate and economic goals,” said Musasizi.
He said Uganda’s central focus during its co-chairmanship will be adaptation. “We believe adaptation efforts are not just necessary for resilience but are also key to unlocking economic opportunities,” said the Minister.
