𝐑𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚 𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐝𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧 (𝐍𝐀𝐏) 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐨 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐞: “𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐛𝐲 2030 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝.” 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 18–21 𝐌𝐚𝐲 2026, the NAP Expo brings together governments, development partners, climate experts, financial institutions, and civil society representatives to accelerate the design, financing, and implementation of National Adaptation Plans. At a time when climate vulnerability and financing gaps are affecting communities, ecosystems, and economies worldwide, the NAP Expo provides an important platform to exchange knowledge, strengthen partnerships, mobilize adaptation finance, and accelerate practical solutions that help countries turn climate ambition into action. The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is proud to contribute to this global conversation advancing climate resilience and sustainable development. Across its member states and partner countries, GGGI supports the development and implementation of National Adaptation Plans that integrate adaptation into national development priorities while unlocking investments for long-term, inclusive, and climate-resilient growth. If you are attending #NAPExpo2026 in Kigali, visit GGGI booth to meet our team and learn more about how countries are translating adaptation priorities into impactful solutions that strengthen communities, protect ecosystems, and build a more sustainable future for people and the planet. #GGGIatNAPExpo2026 #ClimateAdaptation #ClimateResilience #ClimateFinance #Africa #NAPExpo2026 #SustainableDevelopment #GreenGrowth #GGGI

Did you know the construction sector is responsible for nearly 40% of global CO₂ emissions, with half of that coming from building materials alone? That’s exactly why this conversation matters now. Today, @GGGI_Rwanda and @expertisefrance, in partnership with @RwandaGov through @Rwanda_Housing and @RwandaProcure, convened key stakeholders to exchange on the market study on green building materials and equipment in Rwanda. The workshop on Prioritization and Inception of the Market Study on Green Building Materials and Equipment in Rwanda brought together voices from government, academia, and the private sector across real estate, construction, and procurement, reflecting the cross-cutting nature of the transition to green construction. Discussions focused on: ✅ Validating the study’s analytical framework ✅ Identifying and prioritizing key green building materials ✅ Laying the groundwork for a market readiness assessment. This next phase will examine availability, affordability, and supply dynamics, critical factors to scale adoption and unlock investment. Speaking at the event, @GGGI_Rwanda’s Country Representative, @CarolineMCRaes, underlined that “As Rwanda rapidly urbanizes, it is important that the country avoids being locked into similar unsustainable patterns and that its buildings and construction sectors are greened. It is not just about sustainability, for many building operators, having a green building also means lower operation costs in the long run, and this makes business sense.” The market readiness study is part of the Green Public Financial Management (PFM) Technical Assistance Program, funded by the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) | @AFD_en and implemented by Expertise France. #GreenGrowth | #GreenRwanda🇷🇼🌿

Today marks the start of the Leveraging Finance and Investments for Green Transition (LIFT) Programme scoping mission in Rwanda. The mission is organized by GGGI in partnership with @SwedeninRW and @Sida and aims to assess and identify climate finance priorities for the LIFT program in Rwanda. Launched in 2025 at the Second Africa Climate Summit, the LIFT program was designed by @gggi_hq in partnership with the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency to support African countries in unlocking climate finance by addressing systemic barriers and strengthening the capacity of governments, accredited institutions, and financial intermediaries. The program is expected to mobilize at least USD 50 million in climate finance during its initial phase (2025–2027) in 7 partner countries, including Rwanda. #GreenRwanda, #GreenGrowth, #ClimateFinance.

In his remarks, Mr @mudakikwa, who spoke on behalf of @REMA_Rwanda's Director-General, he noted: “Today, we are not simply validating tools; we are validating a vision of a Rwanda where climate resilience and social equity go hand in hand. The GESI Index, Simulation Tool, and GESI Projects Pipeline are more than technical instruments; they are catalysts for Rwanda's climate action transformation.”

While officiating the workshop, @LMupende from GGGI Rwanda, underlined: “This marks a crucial milestone where the validation of the innovative GESI Index and Simulation triggers an even more important next step, where we start to apply this to assessing and modeling the gender and social inclusion co-benefits of climate interventions.” She added that complementary to this the GESI project pipeline serves as a strategic framework for identifying and prioritizing gender-transformative and socially inclusive projects.

Strengthening Gender Equality & Social Inclusion in Rwanda’s Climate Action. Today, @GGGI_Rwanda, in partnership with @REMA_Rwanda, convened a Technical Validation Workshop for the Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) Index and Simulation Tool and the GESI Projects Pipeline. The validation workshop brings together national stakeholders representing the Government, development partners and civil society to validate innovative tools designed to enhance the integration and tracking of gender-responsive and socially inclusive actions in Rwanda’s updated Nationally Determined Contributions | NDC 3.0. This initiative is supported by the @ndcpartnership, with funding from the Government of Canada through @environmentca🇨🇦. It aims to strengthen Rwanda’s leadership in inclusive climate action through: ✅ Technical validation of the GESI Index structure, indicators, and scoring methodology. ✅ Review of the AI-driven GESI Simulation Tool to model gender and inclusion co-benefits. ✅ Refinement of the GESI Projects Pipeline to align with national priorities and NDC commitments. #GreenGrowth #GreenRwanda #ClimateAction #GenderEquality #SocialInclusion #NDCs #Sustainability #InclusiveDevelopment

🦍A special moment at #KwitaIzina20! @gggi_hq Director-General, Mr. Sang-Hyup Kim, proudly named one of Rwanda’s newest baby gorillas “Impuguke”, born on 21 July 2024, to mother Ahazaza. ‘IMPUGUKE’ is a Rwandan name that means “EXPERT”. This name emphasizes the vital role of experts from diverse fields, from scientists to economists, in making conservation a shared responsibility. By collaborating and sharing insights, these specialists show that protecting wildlife and habitats is a mission for the entire community, ensuring the sustainability of gorilla populations and the preservation of their ecosystems for generations to come. Rwanda’s commitment to protecting biodiversity and empowering communities aligns well with GGGI’s mission to work with Member States and partners to inspire global climate action through building inclusive and sustainable green growth. #KwitaIzina #VisitRwanda🇷🇼 #Conservation #GreenGrowth #ClimateAction #GreenRwanda🇷🇼🌿

For decades, plastic pollution has infiltrated every corner of the world—contaminating the water we drink, the food we eat, and the air we breathe. 😒Microplastics are now even found in our bodies. This #WorldEnvironmentDay, @UNEP is mobilising communities across the globe to implement and advocate for lasting solutions to #BeatPlasticPollution. Change happens through all of us. The choices we make can shape industries, shift markets and redefine our collective future. Together, we can deliver an end to plastic pollution that protects people and the planet. Join the #BeatPlasticPollution movement - because together we can create a healthier future. 📹© @UNEP @REMA_Rwanda @EnvironmentRw @EnviroRwanda @CarolineCMRaes

🌊 Plastic pollution exacerbates the deadly impacts of the triple planetary crisis: climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss. This year’s #WorldEnvironmentDay focus is clear: eliminate plastic waste at its source. Building a plastic-free planet starts with bold commitments. It starts with you and me. #BeatPlasticPollution
