Alex Nimusiima is a climate scientist who graduated at Makerere University in February 2017 with a PhD in Climate Science. I also hold a Master of Science in Applied Meteorology from the University of Reading in the UK. I have been involved in a number of projects in climate change in the region for example am a member of the Coordinated Downscaling Experiments (CORDEX) Africa group that is responsible for understanding the climate patterns of the African continent using climate models. I have also contributed as climate modeling expert on various projects in Uganda such as Uganda second National communication to UNFCCC, 2013, Uganda climate change policy of 2012 and many other initiatives. I have also participated in eco-health projects and am a member of Ecohesa Africa group that promotes the eco-health principles in the African region. Through this Ecohesa platform I participated on a project in the cattle corridor that was interested in studying climate change adaptation in terms of food and health security in the area.
