RWANDA SUCCESS STORY IN CLIMATE CHANGE By Dr. Rose MUKANKOMEJE Director General Rwanda Environment Management Authority Doha, December 2012 Aerial Survey Route 19th May 2012 Nyabihu-Musanze Busogo-Mukamira Flooding 14th Dec 2008 19th May 2012 Vulnerability to Climate Changeon CC Nyabihu Busogo-Mukamira (19th May 2012 Severe soil erosion on steep slopes Nyabihu Lake Karago Nyabihu Road Landslide damage Nyabihu Road Landslide damage Muhanga Flooding Muhanga-Karongi Nyabarongo Flooding Agricultural risks (Kanombe-Masaka sectors) Environmental Assessments Mobile GIS REMA Climate Change Projects • From key climate change adaptation areas identified by NAPA, • Rwanda was supported by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the Government of Japan to implement 2 Climate Change Adaptation Projects entitled : • “Reducing Vulnerability to Climate Change by Establishing Early Warning and DisasterPreparedness Systems and Support for Integrated Watershed Management in Flood Prone Areas throgh LDCF funds • Supporting Integrated and Comprehensive Approaches to Climate Change Adaptation in Africa - Building a comprehensive national approach in Rwanda through Africa adaptation Program (AAP) Some achievements Since 2009, under Rwanda Environment management authority (REMA), the Government of Rwanda established a Department in charge of Climate Change and International Obligations (DCCIO); Together with 2 CCA projects implemented by REMA, the DCCIO conducted trainings for mainstreaming CC in Districts development planning; 1094 Local Government officials trained; 24 out 30 Districts included climate change activities in annual action plans; 540 women from National Women Council (12 Districts) trained in CCA and impact of CC on Gender Atlas of our Changing Environment:Implications of Climate Change Resilience Some achievements Conducted a consultative meeting with 416 elders to document traditional knowledge on climate change and variability; Developed a documentary film on IVUBIRO as traditional meteo station used before colonial era for seasonal and agro-meteorological prediction Developed a documentary film on coping of hens breeding and agriculture as solution of adaptation to climate change and reducing inorganic fertilizers; Printed 5,000 copies of the module of climate change in Kinyarwanda to be used for training of trainers in Climate change practice; Climate Change Adaptation Projects Trainings of local communities in 10 Districts delivered by Rwanda Environment Management Authority and Rwanda Agricultural Board Adaptation activities Climate Change Adaptation Projects Location sites for installation of automatic Weather stations Climate Change Adaptation Projects: Automatic weather station for synoptic observations (measurements of atmospheric, soil temperature and soil humidity) Climate Change Adaptation Projects Automatic weather station for hydro-meteorological observations (measurements of atmospheric, water temperature and height in rivers Lessons learnt • Climate Change is real • It affects everything in developing countries(crops, infrastructure, livelihoods,…), mostly the poor • Sustainable development is ??? • Resources are needed to empower local communities in order to adapt and if possible to make them resilient Lessons learnt • Local communities are very receptive if they are involved since the beginning • Is the planet earth has the same resilience?
