Urban wetlands are cost-effective, nature-based infrastructure that reduce flood risk, improve water quality, cool cities, and support public health (https://t.co/aLwv32xUlP)
The restoration of 5 wetlands in Kigali will deliver these benefits and more.
Last Friday, we continued our Igiti Cyanjye, Nkurane Na Cyo campaign at GS Kimironko under the SUNCASA project. Thanks to these amazing students for giving life to these trees, they turned schoolyard into a future forest and many students pledging to protect them.
This morning, @ywprwanda joined a special Umuganda at Rugenge–Rwintare Wetland, where we planted trees and cleaned up plastics to help preserve it. This wetland is one of five in Kigali being rehabilitated to improve biodiversity, water quality, and flood resilience.
Over the past 2 weeks, our Chairperson @FTetero has been in Los Angeles, engaging with Faculty Members and PhD Scholars at the @UCLA, Los Angeles , to explore ways to enhance and expand collaboration in applied research and capacity development.
Yesterday, through #SUNCASA, we were honored to join the launch of Green City Clubs at GS Gatenga 1 & Kimisagara! Full of energy and creativity, students used poetry, sketches, singing, dancing, and fashion to raise awareness on environmental protection and climate resilience.
Yesterday, RYWP Team & URYWP Coordinating Team took a reflective Labour Day trip to Lake Muhazi, celebrating achievements and refocusing our energy for what's ahead. As our Chairperson @FTetero reminded us: "Labour Day is a moment to ask — am I using my full potential?"
Yesterday, we conducted a Workshop on Urban Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) Capacity Needs Assessment under the #SUNCASA Project, identifying knowledge gaps & training needs in applying NbS. Participants were professionals from urban planning & environmental management!
In celebration of #WorldWaterWeek, last night we hosted a YWPs & Experts Exchange on opportunities for young water professionals.
