Effects of climate change undermine Indigenous food security, in turn compromising the resilience of Indigenous populations to pandemics
The extended lockdown in Uganda, for border districts where many Indigenous populations live, has hampered their mobi lity to access forested areas for foraging, access to nearby communities to offer labour for food exchange, and access to agricultural fields for food production. These challenges are exacerbated by existing climate effects,[9] including recent flooding in 2019 that damaged crops, compromised food production,[10] and reduced the resilience of Indigenous populations when the COVID-19 pandemic hit
