National Green Growth and Climate Resilience strategy for climate change

The National Green Growth and Climate Resilience strategy for climate change and low carbon development was adopted by the Government of Rwanda in 2011 and calls for buildings to be designed to reduce the energy demand, low carbon urban systems and water and energy efficiency standards to be integrated into building codes. The strategy further highlights that implementation of low energy consumption standards in buildings and services in Rwanda could result in an 80% reduction in energy use.
