Our Inspiration: Principle 10 of the Rio Declaration
At Greenwatch, we are inspired by Principle 10 of the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, which emphasizes that environmental rights are best exercised when people have access to information, can participate in decisions that affect their environment, and have access to justice when these rights are violated. We are driven by the belief that every individual in Uganda has the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment, and we exist to ensure that this right is both known and fully exercised.
As an agriculture-based country, Uganda depends heavily on its natural resources, making sustainable use of the environment essential for our generation and future generations. Greenwatch is committed to empowering individuals with the knowledge, tools, and avenues to protect their environmental rights, promoting accountability and responsible stewardship of our shared natural heritage.
