📢Pause for a second - repost and spread the word to help #BeatPlasticPollution.

Every voice counts. Every action matters. 💚♻️

[GGGI Rwanda @GGGI_Rwanda]

For decades, plastic pollution has infiltrated every corner of the world—contaminating the water we drink, the food we eat, and the air we breathe.

😒Microplastics are now even found in our bodies.

This #WorldEnvironmentDay, @UNEP is mobilising communities across the globe to implement and advocate for lasting solutions to #BeatPlasticPollution.

Change happens through all of us. The choices we make can shape industries, shift markets and redefine our collective future. Together, we can deliver an end to plastic pollution that protects people and the planet.

Join the #BeatPlasticPollution movement - because together we can create a healthier future.

🇷🇼🤝🇪🇹 Advancing South-South cooperation for a greener, more climate-resilient future.

On 8 July 2026, @GGGI_Rwanda had the privilege of hosting a delegation from the Government of Ethiopia and @GGGIEthiopia during a knowledge exchange visit facilitated by the @cooperatio11565 (RCI).

The 5-day visit aimed to provide the delegation with insights into Rwanda’s experience in advancing green growth, climate resilience, sustainable urban development, and climate finance.

The discussion hosted by GGGI highlighted GGGI’s support to Rwanda in advancing green city development, mobilizing climate finance, improving energy efficiency, promoting sustainable waste management, restoring ecosystems, and unlocking innovative green investment opportunities. It also underscored GGGI’s role in strengthening institutional capacity, developing bankable green projects, and enhancing access to climate finance to accelerate Rwanda’s sustainable development goals.

GGGI Rwanda showcased its support in mobilizing more than US$61 million in green investments for transformative green growth projects across the just and inclusive energy transitions; adaptive and resilient landscapes; green, resilient, circular cities and infrastructure.

We thank the visiting delegation for the engaging dialogue and valuable knowledge exchange. Partnerships and peer learning remain critical to accelerating climate action, mobilizing sustainable finance, and delivering inclusive green growth. 🌍🌱

In our previous post, we looked at the potential risks of carbon markets for host countries and why it is important to identify and manage them effectively.

Today, we turn to another key aspect: Rwanda's Carbon Market Governance Framework

What is Rwanda’s Carbon Market Framework?

It is the national framework that sets the rules and systems for carbon credit generation and trading, and facilitates Rwanda’s participation in carbon markets under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.

The framework establishes a governance and institutional structure that makes the carbon market possible, and provides further considerations regarding participation in carbon markets under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.

Why does Rwanda have this framework?

✅ To position Rwanda as an attractive destination for carbon market investment and cooperation.
✅ To demonstrate the country’s commitment to facilitating voluntary cooperative approaches and other carbon market mechanisms in achieving NDC emission reduction targets.
✅ To establish clear carbon crediting strategies, guidelines, and institutional, legal, and governance frameworks for effective participation in carbon markets.

What does the framework do in practice?

1️⃣ Sets clear rules for carbon credit issuance
2️⃣ Ensures verification and credibility of emission reductions
3️⃣ Establishes a carbon registry to track credits
4️⃣ Enables trading mechanisms for both domestic and international markets

Who leads it?

Rwanda Environment Management Authority (REMA) under the Ministry of Environment (MoE), is the Designated National Authority (DNA) for Article 6.4 mechanism and carbon market in general. The main task of the DNA is to regulate the carbon market under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.

This framework plays a key role in ensuring that Rwanda’s participation in carbon markets delivers real, measurable, and trusted climate impact.

📌 Stay with us as we continue exploring how Rwanda is positioning itself in global carbon markets. In the next post, we’ll take a closer look at key stakeholders involved in the framework and their roles.

[GGGI Rwanda @GGGI_Rwanda]

Building on our previous post, we introduced Rwanda’s Carbon Market Framework and its role in ensuring transparency, credibility, and alignment with national climate goals.

Today, we turn our focus to Rwanda’s Carbon Market Institutional Structure.

How is the system organized?

Rwanda’s carbon market operates through a structured, multi-level system designed to ensure coordination, accountability, and effective implementation.

The system is built around:

✅ Extended Governing Board – Senior representatives from relevant ministries and government institutions

✅ Article 6 Unit (Carbon Market Office) – Dedicated operational unit within REMA

✅ Technical Committee - Technical focal points from relevant ministries and institutions

How does the system work in practice?

1️⃣ The Extended Governing Board sets strategic direction, coordinates across institutions, and monitors implementation

2️⃣ The Article 6 Unit implements the framework, manages carbon projects, and oversees reporting and credit tracking

3️⃣ The Technical Committee reviews project requests, supports authorization decisions, and ensures compliance with Article 6 requirements and national priorities.

This broad participation and clear roles and responsibilities across institutions ensure strong coordination across sectors, alignment of policies and actions, and help ensure that Rwanda’s carbon market operates efficiently, transparently, and with accountability.

Stay with us as we continue unpacking Rwanda’s carbon market system. In the next post, we’ll explore how carbon projects are developed and approved within this framework.

Thank you to our followers and partners for staying engaged in the carbon markets campaign.

In previous posts, we discussed the benefits of carbon markets, including economic and financial opportunities, how technology transfer can support emission reductions and innovation, and the environmental and social co-benefits they deliver.

Today, we turn to another important aspect: The potential risks of carbon markets for host countries.

What do we mean by risks?

Risks refer to the possible negative consequences that host countries may face when participating in carbon markets, particularly under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.

Why is it important to identify these risks?

✅ It helps host governments and stakeholders anticipate and manage potential challenges

✅ It ensures that carbon projects do not harm communities, the environment, or national interests

✅ It supports the development of strong policies and regulations to guide implementation

Key risks to consider:

1️⃣Economic risks

👉 Price volatility can affect expected revenues
👉 High transaction costs for monitoring, reporting, and certification can reduce project profitability
👉 Benefits may not be distributed equitably among investors, project participants, and local communities

2️⃣ Environmental & Social risks

👉 Projects may overstate their environmental impact
👉 Some activities may unintentionally harm ecosystems
👉 Communities may face displacement or limited benefits
👉 Weak monitoring and verification can compromise environmental integrity

3️⃣ Governance & Policy risks

👉 Extensive transfers of mitigation outcomes without considering domestic mitigation needs may make it more difficult for a country to achieve its own Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) targets
👉 Inadequate oversight of authorizations and corresponding adjustments can create accounting and integrity concerns
👉 Weak regulatory frameworks may allow low-quality credits
👉 Policy uncertainty can affect investor confidence and long-term project viability
👉 Limited transparency can reduce trust in carbon markets

Understanding these risks is essential to ensuring that carbon markets deliver real, fair, and lasting impact while supporting national development priorities.

📌 Stay with us as we continue unpacking carbon markets under the Paris Agreement. In the next post, we'll explore Rwanda's Carbon Market Framework to better understand its overview and purpose.
