Rwanda will showcase its ambitious climate action at the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30), taking place from 10th to 21st November 2025 in Belém, Brazil. The global conference, held in the heart of the Amazon, comes at a decisive moment for international cooperation on climate and biodiversity action.
Rwanda’s delegation, led by the Minister of Environment, Dr. Bernadette Arakwiye, will join world leaders, negotiators, and partners to strengthen the effort to limit global warming to 1.5°C and accelerate investment in resilience, nature, and green innovation.
At COP30, Rwanda will:
• Present progress on its updated Climate Action Plan (NDC 3.0), which sets ambitious, measurable targets for mitigation and adaptation through 2035.
• Launch Rwanda’s Country Platform for Climate and Development, which will serve as the government-led mechanism to mobilize, align, and coordinate public and private investment in support of Rwanda’s NDC 3.0 and broader development goals.
• In partnership with UNDP, launch a new Biodiversity Window hosted at the Rwanda Green Fund as a dedicated financing mechanism to support nature-positive investment, ecosystem restoration, and community-based conservation.
• Demonstrate Rwanda’s progress in implementing the Enhanced Transparency Framework under the Paris Agreement.
• Advance Rwanda’s position to contribute to global climate negotiations on different items, including the implementation of different carbon market mechanisms under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement and modalities of availing USD 300 billion as the New Collective Quantified Goal on Climate Finance.
