During the conference, President Kagame is expected to engage in discussions on international relations, with talks anticipated with various world leaders, including Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, who is hosting this year’s COP29 event.
The COP conference, which brings together parties to discuss global climate change, will focus on urgent solutions to mitigate the severe effects of global warming. The goal is to speed up efforts to tackle climate change and its impact on the planet.
Rwanda is advocating for new global goals centered on substantial investment in environmental protection, with a particular emphasis on financing projects that support communities affected by climate-related disasters and help restore damaged ecosystems. The country is calling for concrete actions to combat climate change effectively.
Ahead of the COP29 conference, a session was held discussing building resilience and environmental protection, highlighting the role of citizens in preserving natural ecosystems.
Teddy Mugabo Mpinganzima, the CEO of Rwanda’s Green Fund, who attended the session, explained that the fund was established because Rwanda recognizes the environment as a vital ally for everyone. The country is committed to building resilience in safeguarding the environment.
Rwanda emphasizes the importance of investing in environmental protection as crucial for supporting nations that are most affected by climate change, helping them recover and empowering communities to cope with the impacts of climate-related disasters.
COP29 brings together government leaders, businesses, and non-governmental organizations to find practical solutions to climate change challenges. This global conference, held annually since 1995, is now in its 29th edition and continues to be a critical platform for international climate dialogue.
