Context
Rwanda is extremely vulnerable to climate change, which is putting growing pressure on many economic sectors, regions and population groups. It also threatens to exacerbate inequalities. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and better adapting the country to the impacts of climate change requires substantial investment by the Rwandan state, international cooperation and private investors.
Climate change and green economic growth top the Rwandan development agenda. The country is therefore designing an economic and fiscal policy that is climate-friendly and for the long term, and it is further developing its institutional capacities. This is creating the conditions for channelling capital flows into climate-relevant projects and economic activities and securing the right to a healthy environment for the people in Rwanda and, in particular, future generations.
Objective
The regulatory and market economy conditions for making public and private capital available for a socio-environmental economic transformation in Rwanda are improved.
