How can countries turn National Adaptation Plans into actionable, finance-ready solutions that build long-term resilience?
As the global adaptation community prepares to gather in Kigali for #NAPExpo2026 next week, strengthening the quality and implementation of National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) remains more important than ever.
@gggi_hq's report, “Identifying Good Practices in National Adaptation Plans: A Global Review,” offers insights from a global assessment of NAPs, highlighting what countries are doing well, where gaps remain, and how adaptation planning can become more actionable, inclusive, and investment-ready.
The report finds strong progress in areas such as risk assessment, policy alignment, and implementation planning, while identifying climate finance and monitoring systems as key areas requiring further attention.
As discussions at #NAPExpo2026 focus on accelerating adaptation action, this report contributes practical lessons and good practices that can support countries in moving from planning to implementation — and from priorities to financeable solutions.

At the Prioritization and Inception Workshop for the Market Study on Green Building Materials and Equipment in Rwanda, one message came through clearly:
Rwanda has made strong progress, but the next phase is about scaling impact.
From the Green Building Minimum Compliance System (GBMCS) to broader policy commitments, the foundation for green construction is already in place. The real challenge now is moving from frameworks to functioning markets.
Stakeholders highlighted what it will take to get there:
🔷 Strengthening the availability and affordability of green building materials & equipment.
🔷 Ensuring a more reliable supply ecosystem.
🔷 Reducing uncertainty for investors and market actors.
This transition hinges on stronger public–private collaboration, particularly to:
⏭️ Integrate green building requirements into procurement and tenders.
⏭️ Create clear demand signals for the market.
⏭️ Incentivize contractors, suppliers, and manufacturers to invest in green solutions.
This is precisely where the partnership between @GGGI_Rwanda and @expertisefrance comes in. Through the Market Study on Green Building Materials and Equipment, the initiative will generate evidence-based insights to:
1️⃣ Inform green procurement guidelines.
2️⃣ Support decision-making and strengthen Rwanda’s green construction ecosystem.
A big thank you to @Rwanda_Housing and @RwandaProcure for driving this together.

Did you know the construction sector is responsible for nearly 40% of global CO₂ emissions, with half of that coming from building materials alone?
That’s exactly why this conversation matters now.
Today, @GGGI_Rwanda and @expertisefrance, in partnership with @RwandaGov through @Rwanda_Housing and @RwandaProcure, convened key stakeholders to exchange on the market study on green building materials and equipment in Rwanda.
The workshop on Prioritization and Inception of the Market Study on Green Building Materials and Equipment in Rwanda brought together voices from government, academia, and the private sector across real estate, construction, and procurement, reflecting the cross-cutting nature of the transition to green construction.
Discussions focused on:
✅ Validating the study’s analytical framework
✅ Identifying and prioritizing key green building materials
✅ Laying the groundwork for a market readiness assessment.
This next phase will examine availability, affordability, and supply dynamics, critical factors to scale adoption and unlock investment.
Speaking at the event, @GGGI_Rwanda’s Country Representative, @CarolineMCRaes, underlined that “As Rwanda rapidly urbanizes, it is important that the country avoids being locked into similar unsustainable patterns and that its buildings and construction sectors are greened. It is not just about sustainability, for many building operators, having a green building also means lower operation costs in the long run, and this makes business sense.”

The Nduba Solid Waste Management and Garbage Collection Site continues to offer valuable lessons in environmental protection and modern waste management, demonstrating how waste can be transformed into a resource to support sustainable cities.
Today, a delegation from the Angola–Rwanda International Chamber of Business and Investment (ARICBI), currently on a learning visit in Rwanda, toured the facility.
During the visit, they explored effective waste management systems, with particular focus on the Waste to Resources Project, a key initiative improving the management of municipal solid and hazardous waste in #KigaliYacu.
The exchange underscores the importance of collaboration and knowledge sharing in building cleaner, greener, and more resilient cities.
“Climate ambition is not just about what we plan, but what we deliver together. Our progress shows that when we work together,even the most ambitious climate goals become achievable.” - @Juliet_Kabera,DG @REMA_Rwanda at today’s dissemination .

Did you miss this deep dive discussion on Rwanda’s carbon market readiness and climate investment potential?
Here are the key highlights:
1️⃣ Rwanda has established regulatory frameworks for the carbon market, outlining requirements and procedures for registering carbon projects.
✍🏿More: https://t.co/dtqbYbIjRu
2️⃣ The strong collaboration between @GGGI_Rwanda, @REMA_Rwanda, and @GreenFundRw continues to help strengthen Rwanda’s readiness to participate strategically and confidently in carbon markets under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.
3️⃣ Rwanda's climate ambitions present numerous untapped projects and investment opportunities, especially in the energy, agriculture, and waste sectors, which provide both environmental and socio-economic benefits.
4️⃣ While participating in carbon markets under Article 6 offers significant benefits, early market entry and maintaining credibility through mitigating overselling risks will ensure that there is sustained demand for Rwanda's ITMOs. This requires prioritizing quality over quantity, transformational and high integrity project, and robust MRV systems.

Today, Minister @Dr_Arakwiye opened the UK–Rwanda Climate Partnership Conference with a clear message: it’s time to move from climate ambition to delivery.
Reliable cold-chain systems can cut post-harvest loss, maintain vaccine integrity and deliver real climate gains.
What makes climate projects attractive to investors?
Today, @GGGI_Rwanda’s Country Representative @CarolineCMRaes joined a powerful discussion at the UK–Rwanda Climate Partnership Conference, which is taking place in Kigali, Rwanda, under the theme: “Catalysing Green Investment in Africa: The UK–Rwanda Climate Partnership.”
During the high-level panel on “Turning Climate Commitments into Investment”, @CarolineCMRaes shared key insights on how to unlock greater investment flows into climate and green growth projects.
She emphasized that investors are looking for projects that combine clear, measurable climate impact and strong environmental, social, and governance alignment with robust financial fundamentals, credible risk-mitigation strategies, and strong potential for replication and scaling.
Ms Caroline also highlighted practical pathways to accelerate investment readiness and mobilization:
👉 Think big, start small, scale fast: Pilot projects play a critical role in demonstrating technical feasibility, validating business models, and building investor confidence, before scaling solutions rapidly.
👉 Build on what already exists: Rather than starting from scratch, there is significant value in learning from ongoing initiatives. Identifying bottlenecks, unlocking stalled projects, and restructuring or repackaging opportunities can help accelerate implementation and investment.
👉 Move towards programmatic approaches to financing: Bundling projects and diversifying financing sources can help mobilize a broader suite of financial instruments, from concessional capital to private investment.
She noted that @RwandaGov is already taking important strides in this direction.
While highlighting GGGI’s role, Caroline noted that through its Green Investment services, @gggi_hq works with Member States and partners in structuring green investment pipelines from ideation to investment readiness and matchmaking with investors.
The UK–Rwanda Climate Partnership Conference is organized by the Africa Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Cooling and Cold-Chain | @ACES_Cooling. It brings together leaders from government, finance, industry, academia and development institutions to explore how Africa’s climate ambition can translate into investment-ready systems capable of delivering sustainable economic growth.
