Today in Antalya, Türkiye at #COP31, the focus is on Resilient Cities and the Built Environment! 🏙️🌿
Rwanda is advancing sustainable urban development through green building standards, climate-resilient infrastructure and nature-based solutions.
In Kigali, the restoration of five urban wetlands is helping reduce flood risks, restore biodiversity and create greener public spaces.

Data is essential for anticipating and preparing for increasingly frequent and severe extreme weather caused by climate change.

After negotiating late into the night and into the early hours of the morning, parties at #MOP38 reached agreement on a package of key decisions, including a US$695 million replenishment of the Multilateral Fund for 2027-2029. This funding mechanism under the Montreal Protocol plays a vital role in supporting Article 5 Parties to meet their Protocol obligations and advance the global phase-out and phase-down of controlled substances.
Parties also adopted decisions on issues ranging from HFC-23 emissions to improving the efficiency of the Protocol's processes, including a trial reduction of the Open-ended Working Group's meeting length from five days to four.
While consensus prevailed on most agenda items, one issue remained unresolved. Regional differences prevented agreement on a nomination from the Eastern European Group for next year's Implementation Committee, leaving that position vacant for now.
A fitting reminder that even under one of the world's most successful environmental agreements, reaching consensus requires both persistence and patience.
#MontrealProtocol #KigaliAmendment
As we await the conclusion of #MOP38, take a look at the highlights from today's Ministerial Breakfast Side Event, hosted by Rwanda.
The event brought together Ministers and partners under the Friends of the Kigali Amendment to mark its 10th anniversary and reaffirm their commitment to its full implementation.

#MOP38 in Kigali will conclude its sessions and high-level segment today. Consultations on the replenishment of the Multilateral Fund are ongoing.

#KigaliAmendment
Yesterday, Rwanda’s Rt. Hon. Prime Minister, Dr. Justin Nsengiyumva, officiated the High-Level Opening of the 38th Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol (#MOP38) in Kigali.
📽️ Watch the highlights of the opening session here.
Today, Rwanda hosted a Ministerial Breakfast side event at #MOP38, bringing together Ministers and partners under the Friends of the Kigali Amendment to mark its 10th anniversary and reaffirm commitment to its implementation.
The dialogue reaffirmed the shared commitment to strengthening political ambition, supporting national implementation, expanding access to efficient and affordable cooling and accelerating the Amendment’s climate and development benefits.
Reignited on 23 September 2026 during New York Climate Week, the Friends of the Kigali Amendment is a voluntary, high-level initiative that unites governments to strengthen political ambition, support national implementation, expand access to efficient and affordable cooling, and advance life-cycle refrigerant management.
Led by Rwanda, with Brazil and the United Kingdom as government co-champions, the initiative is supported by the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) through political convening, country support, sharing successful business models and cross-country learning, complementing the existing processes of the Montreal Protocol.
