COP27 will serve as a forum to advance these efforts and engage new partners to join Rwanda’s green growth journey.
"Rwanda is an ideal destination for green investment because we have a clear vision and an enabling environment. At COP27, Rwanda will take a strong voice and call for meaningful action to reduce global emissions, increase climate financing for adaptation and ensure the frameworks agreed on carbon markets and loss and damage are fair and effective" said Jeanne d'Arc Mujawamariya, Minister of Environment.
Rwanda’s delegation to COP27 includes senior leaders from government, civil society, the private sector as well as young people active in environmental protection. For updates from the delegation, follow the #GreenRwanda and #InvestInRwanda hashtags on Twitter.
