Owing to the recent challenge presented by climate change, there have been steps taken to combat the challenge by the international community. This thesis focuses on the gap between the international legislation and the domestic legislation in Uganda as regards climate change. More particularly are the lacunas that are eminent in the existing environmental legislation in Uganda. The thesis is in two parts as the first part deals with the scope of the research in international legislation and domestic legislation. This includes chapters one and two which bring out the statistics of the existing environmental conditions and the existing legislation thereto. The second part of the thesis emphasizes the weaknesses manifest in the present legislation domestically visa vie the international legislation. This can be found in chapters three and four of this thesis. It is eminent that so little has been done in Uganda with regard to legislation towards combating climate change manifesting in the form of global warming. Looking at the way forward, proposals are given to help combat the same.
