This ambitious target places the infrastructure sector at the heart of the country’s climate transition. From energy and transport to urbanisation, waste, and sanitation, infrastructure systems will play a key role in driving low-carbon, climate-resilient growth while advancing the country’s Vision 2050 and Rwanda's National Strategy for Transformation (NST2). To support this agenda, @GGGI_Rwanda, in partnership with @REMA_Rwanda, convened +20 stakeholders from across infrastructure sectors to deepen their understanding of Article 6 mechanisms and carbon market operations under the Paris Agreement. The workshop provided an overview of Rwanda’s National Carbon Market Framework, clarified the roles and responsibilities of key institutions, and explored how Article 6 can help unlock international investment for climate mitigation measures and sustainable infrastructure development. Participants also exchanged insights on potential carbon project opportunities across the infrastructure sector and discussed the latest developments shaping international carbon markets. As Rwanda continues to strengthen its pathway toward a climate-resilient and low-carbon economy, building institutional and technical capacity remains essential for enabling high-integrity carbon market participation and mobilizing climate finance at scale. #Article6 #CarbonMarkets #ClimateFinance #GreenGrowth #SustainableInfrastructure #Rwanda #ClimateAction #CapacityBuilding #GGGI #ParisAgreement

Carbon markets are at a pivotal point — tightening standards, shifting buyer expectations, rising scrutiny. Our Chief Technology Officer, David Kitt, will be at #Innovate4Climate throughout the week. If you're attending, reach out here or by email. 📨 david.kitt@delagua.org

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.

During today's session, stakeholders emphasised the strong need to unlock Rwanda’s clean cooking market and address financial barriers to scale sustainable solutions. @CarolineRaes, Country Representative for GGGI Rwanda, commended the strong collaboration between the Luxembourg Development Cooperation (LuxDev) and @RwandaGov, through @EnvironmentRw. She highlighted that this partnership is pivotal in addressing persistent market and financing constraints that continue to slow the growth of the clean cooking sector. She also underlined that the insights from stakeholders will be essential in ensuring that the proposed facility is both responsive to market realities and capable of catalyzing sustainable investment in the clean cooking sector. Bob Junker, Head of Cooperation at @LUinKigali, stressed the importance of hybrid blended finance, leveraging multiple funding streams as a powerful tool to combat deforestation, support land restoration, and enable Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to grow and scale nationwide. Stakeholder contributions will be central to designing a blended finance facility that is: 🔷 Able to unlock investment for clean cooking solutions. 🔷 Designed to deliver long-term, sustainable impact for communities and the environment. A big THANK YOU to our partners and stakeholders who took part in today’s consultations.🤝 #GreenGrowth #GreenRwanda 🌿 #CleanCooking

Statement on Cabinet Resolutions of 4 March 2026

Today’s key concept: Additionality in carbon markets. A mitigation activity is additional only if the GHG reductions would NOT happen without carbon credit revenue. If it would occur anyway under business-as-usual, it should NOT earn credits. #ClimateAction #ParisAgreement
