Climate Change and Sustainability

Eco & Partner Consult works with clients to accelerate their climate and sustainability journey by ensuring that they safeguard their assets and the public from the detrimental effects of climate change while building sustainable operations for a sustainable world.

Climate change and variability pose a great threat to the environment and the socio-economic sectors and is agreed to be a global challenge of the 21^st century. It threatens equitable and sustainable development initiatives. The negative impacts suggest the need to adapt to reduce the vulnerability of projects/companies or people and environment to climate change impacts.

Adaptation to climate change and sustainable development have become core elements of international, national policies and strategies. Our research lies in promotion of sustainable development by managing the impacts of climate change.

There is a pressing need at all levels to support climate change mitigation and minimise the severity of future climate impacts. At the same time, the need to support countries and communities to take steps to build resilience, support adaptation action, and strengthen capacity for effective disaster risk management is critical.

We provide a broad range of consultancy services from adaptation planning and resilience building, to mitigation and low carbon development. Our climate and sustainability team also helps clients turn net zero commitments into action and seize new opportunities to build competitive advantage.

We have expertise in engaging on climate issues from the international policy level to the regional, national and community levels.

Our approach to delivering action on climate and environment always emphasises the importance of balancing considerations of climate and environment, with development needs and growth. Our priority is to minimise risks and trade-offs and identify opportunities.

Technical services we offer include:

Design and implementation of nature-based climate change solutions

Water Resources Management

Service

Water Resources Management

Surface waters sustain ecological systems and provide habitat for many plant and animal species. They also support a myriad of human uses, including drinking water, irrigation, industrial usage, livestock, industrial uses, hydropower, and
recreation.

Quality of life depends on diverse and complex ecological systems. As a growing body of evidence and global initiatives highlight the seriousness of biodiversity decline, and as measures are put in place to reverse this trend, it is becoming increasingly important for companies to understand and minimize their impact on ecosystems.
An informed, sustainable approach to biodiversity and ecology management can provide opportunities for business stability and growth. Failing to proactively manage biodiversity-related risks appropriately can result in failure to secure required approvals, considerable cost increases, schedule delays, and friction with local communities and other stakeholders.
Our team of professionals has experience in completing aquatic, terrestrial and wildlife surveys for a wide range of species and habitats for various projects. We work with Governments and private sectors to integrate biodiversity considerations into decision making and to develop and enhance related opportunities for business.

Our work ranges from high level corporate policy support to targeted project or issue specific work. We work with our clients to understand the biodiversity implications of their projects, develop solutions to minimize adverse impacts from key decisions to ensure compliance with relevant standards especially the International Finance Corporation Performance standards and World Bank guidelines to provide strategic advice regarding project development.

We offer technical assistance through the following services:

Ecology and Biodiversity Scoping studies.
Critical Habitats Assessment.
Terrestrial survey; Plants, Avifauna, Reptiles, Amphibians. Invertebrates, Large and small Mammals.

Waste Management Technical Support

Service

Waste Management Technical Support

Waste management covers the processes and actions required to manage waste from its inception to its final disposal. Managing waste correctly is important in reducing pollution and providing a healthy and safe environment. Many problems for Businesses and Organizations have arisen due to waste being inappropriately managed.

At Eco & Partner we offer environmental consultancy services to a range of clients including waste producers, waste transporters and waste treatment and disposal facilities, its regulators and investors.

We follow the established waste management hierarchy i.e. waste prevention, minimization, reuse, recycling, energy recovery and final disposal. We have experience in providing practical advice on all waste types, including municipal, household, commercial, industrial, hazardous in various sectors such as Oil and Gas, Agriculture and Manufacturing, etc.

Eco & Partner together with Golder Associates’ undertook a strategic Option Assessment for Hazardous Waste Management in the Lake Albert Basin Development project, to inform a cradle-to-grave solution for the management of hazardous waste in the oil and gas sector in Uganda.

The study aimed at establishing the current capacity for handling hazardous waste in Uganda, project the amount of waste volumes at the peak of the development phase, identify capacity gaps and make feasible recommendations. This study was an eye opener in waste management investment in the oil and gas sector in Uganda.

Our team of professionals also helped in the improvement of standards, defining best practices, driving legislative change and promoting safe and effective methods of waste management i.e. The National Environment (Waste Management) Regulations, 2020.

We offer the following technical services:

Waste inventory and waste stream characterization,
Developing waste management plans,
Waste Management training and consultancy services

Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA)

Strategic Environmental Assessment should be integrated into the policy, plan or programme preparation process from its early stages and the Government must have a high degree of ownership. Public participation is also essential for a successful SEA.

Compared with the Environmental Impact and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA), SEA provides recommendations at a strategic level and allows a better control over interactions or cumulative effects.
In Uganda, the National Development Plan III (2020/21 – 2024/25) provides the national development planning framework that forms the basis for the development of sector-wide strategies and plans. Sector wide strategies and plans should ideally be informed by SEA; however, until the National Environment Act, 2019, SEA in Uganda was largely voluntary and limited to the requirements of development partners.
Eco & Partner assess the government’s policy/program, identifying the stakeholders that are critical to engage, while building trust through proactive sustained and meaningful communication and engagement that both informs stakeholders and seeks to involve them in the process.
We work to assist Government bodies and Agencies to understand and mitigate risks by maximizing stakeholders’ involvement in the process and optimizing their input by developing robust strategies to involve and inform them early and often carry that effort through to completion.

We offer technical assistance for the following services:
Strategic initiatives and coalition management, include policy making engagement.
Strategic communications counsel
Tactical Planning and Implementation
Stakeholder identification, outreach and involvement
Research (non-technical risk assessment)
