| dc.description.abstract | This dissertation investigates how oil and gas activities affect the environment and climate in Uganda, concentrating specifically on the Albertine Graben. Using a qualitative, descriptive-analytical research design, the study assesses the effectiveness of Uganda’s regulatory framework, including the 1995 Constitution of the Republic of Uganda and the country’s petroleum laws. This research evaluates how industrial activities such as drilling, refining, and transportation contribute to habitat loss, pollution, and climate change. The paper identifies weak enforcement and the reluctance created by stabilization clauses as primary obstacles to environmental protection. It recommends strengthening enforcement mechanisms, ensuring prompt compensation for affected communities, and mandating the public disclosure of petroleum contracts to enhance accountability. | |
