On May 9, 2024, NDC Partnership Co-Chair and Minister of Environment Dr. Jeanne d’Arc Mujawamariya and Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany Heike Uta Dettmann launched the Kigali Climate Talks, a quarterly series dedicated to advancing dialogue and action on climate change in Rwanda. 

The Kigali Climate Talks will serve to facilitate a strong focus both on the implementation of Rwanda's NDC, and the elevation of international climate negotiations. This first event highlighted Rwanda's progress in realizing its NDC and the country's plans to raise climate ambition in line with the Global Stocktake. Participants also reflected on the role of the private sector, youth and the NDC Partnership to achieve Rwanda's vision of carbon neutrality by 2050. Read the full press release here.
