Rwanda Seeks $12 Billion for Climate Action with Focus on Private Financing
CLIMATE POLICY, REGULATION & CARBON MARKETS
Rwanda aims to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by 53% by 2035, requiring $12 billion in climate action funding. The funding strategy includes domestic financing (7%) and international support (46%).
A recent meeting in Kigali emphasized collaboration with the private sector, exploring tools like carbon markets, green bonds, and sustainability-linked loans. The plan allocates 60% for adaptation and 40% for mitigation, with a new Country Platform for Climate and Development established to coordinate efforts. Regional initiatives are also being developed to enhance climate finance across East Africa.
