[Kigali Eco-Park @KigaliPark]

We’re starting a new chapter in Kigali’s sustainability story! 🌿

@rema_rwanda is rehabilitating over 490 hectares of wetlands to improve flood resilience, biodiversity, and urban well-being.

Follow along! #WetlandsRestoration

[Rwanda Environment Management Authority @REMA_Rwanda]

The upcoming Enhanced vehicle emission testing will protect public health by cutting harmful pollutants like PM2.5 & NO₂ that cause lung, heart & brain diseases. 🚗💨

By encouraging regular vehicle servicing, we limit emissions & keep our air clean.

[Connie Schmidt, Kigali 🇷🇼 🌍 @Connie_Schmidt1]

Today's air quality map of Kigali shows how important the reduction of PM2.5 is (Current status: UNHEALTHY!!). Let us take REMA's initiative seriously @REMA_Rwanda

[Rwanda Environment Management Authority @REMA_Rwanda]

Utuvungukira twa PM2.5 tuba mu myotsi iva mu binyabiziga ni tumwe mu bihumanya umwuka duhumeka.

PM2.5 kimwe n'ibindi binyabutabire biva muri iyo myotsi byatumye u Rwanda rutekereza uburyo bwisumbuyeho bwo kuyipima.

I highly commend @REMA_Rwanda's engagements for clean air. Please do also something against idling cars, with engines running in front of schools, shops, restaurants etc. Idling Rwandan cars waste some 14.5 Mio liters fuel per year emitting 30 Mio tons of CO2 unnecessarily.

[Rwanda Environment Management Authority @REMA_Rwanda]

🚨 Did you know?

A single non‑compliant motorcycle can emit up to 10x more pollutants than a well‑maintained one 🏍💨

Let’s keep our rides clean and our air healthy. Regular maintenance = #CleanAir for all

#GreenRwanda🇷🇼🌿

[Rwanda Environment Management Authority @REMA_Rwanda]

Avoid walking or jogging near busy roads, especially during peak traffic hours.

Vehicle emissions expose you to harmful air pollutants like PM2.5.
Protect your lungs, choose cleaner, safer routes. Breathe clean 🌬️

Health facts about fine particulate matter (PM2.5) from vehicles:

These tiny particles are invisible, but their impact is serious, causing breathing problems, heart disease and even premature death. Protect your health. Support clean transport. 🚗💨

#CleanAir | #GreenRwanda🇷🇼🌿

[Rwanda Environment Management Authority @REMA_Rwanda]

Today, we officially launch our #CleanAir Campaign! 🚗💨

Air pollutants from vehicle emissions are silent killers, fueling asthma, heart disease & lung cancer. It’s time to act for cleaner air and healthier lives.

Follow the campaign for more facts, tips & actions you can take

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Breathing in clean air has huge benefits for our health. Still, 9 out of 10 people breathe in polluted air, causing 7 million premature deaths every year.

Today is International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies: we call on all countries to invest in policies to tackle #AirPollution, and protect our lungs, brains and hearts.

[Beth Kaplin @BethKaplin1]

Moving clean - what does it mean & how can you engage? Don't idle your engines. Share rides when you can if driving somewhere. Don't idle your car (repeating this as its so common!). what else?? 1/2

[Africa Smart Cities Investment Summit - #ASCIS26 @ASCISummit]

Session

Harnessing the Power of Geospatial Data and Urban Dynamic Mapping for Smarter and Inclusive City Development by @ThisIsPLACE & @EnabelinRwanda.

@KasparKundert, highlights the pivotal role of geospatial data, comprising 80% of all data, in advancing smart cities and enhancing the quality of life.

The main challenge in Africa isn't technology or expertise but rather economic sustainability. Kaspar's solution involves two key elements: community funding and data licensing.

By engaging communities in funding geospatial data projects and implementing effective data licensing, he aims to secure financial stability and promote the sustainable use of this valuable resource.

@REMA_Rwanda, @CityofKigali. Riding my MTB across the City today, I wished for cleaner air, and at Kigali Heights for an anti-idling policy. Do we all realize that avoidable idling uses 5% of our petrol money?

'There is data in #Africa, but the end of many projects is the end of the #data. At times, it is difficult to access this data and there are huge challenges in sustaining basic #spatial data #infrastructure' -@KasparKundert from @ThisIsPLACE

[Martin Bethke @Martin_Bethke]

Die #NASA hat die #CO2 Emissionen 2021 visualisiert. Und zwei Dinge werden sofort klar:

1. Wenn wir CO2 mit bloßem Auge sehen könnten, würden wir schon längst alle Klimaschutzmaßnahmen der Welt umgesetzt haben.

2. Der globale Norden trägt die Verantwortung für die #Klimakrise.
