An increase in population will inevitably create pressures leading to more deforestation, decreased biodiversity and spikes in population and emissions which will exacerbate climate change. This constant need for factory made products has occurred a loss of fresh water in the rivers and lakes of Uganda. Human over population is among the most pressing environmental issues, silently aggravating the forces behind global warming and environmental pollution. Forests and other habitats are destroyed to construct urban centres including the construction of roads and industries thus emissions of large quantities of greenhouse gases leading to global warming. 

           To date, 2.4 billion people don't have access to clean water sources. Humanity is continuously polluting indispensable resources like air, water and soil which requires millions of years to replenish. The release of carbon monoxide at a high level indicates how much fossil fuel is burned. This also emits other toxic pollutants into the air. This can directly contaminate the surface of bodies of water and soil. This can hence kill crops or reduce their yield. Sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide particles in the soil can create acid rain when they mix with water and oxygen in the atmosphere. 

           Climate change is also another human impact on the environment. Uganda has mostly a tropical climate characterized by stable rainfall patterns. However, the effects of climate change have the potential to halt or reverse the country's development trajectory. In particular, climate change is likely to mean increased food insecurity, shifts in the spread of diseases like malaria, soil erosion and land degradation. This for example leads to a shift in the viability of coffee growing areas and thus exacerbating poverty and triggering migration as well as hightened competition over strategic water resources, climate change could lead to regional insecurity. 

             Deforestation is also another human impact on the environment. Several industries clear and develop forested land for their own purposes including agriculture, paper, mining, and logging. Forests provide a home to millions of diverse flora and fauna around the world especially Uganda. But the benefits of forests extend far beyond the wildlife who live there, they play a vital role in the world's carbon cycle by balancing greenhouse gas emissions, making the air in our atmosphere breathable and protecting against climate change. This problem of deforestation by humans thus leads to increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and a host of problems for indigenous people.
