Rights of Children, Youth and Women

Future-just policy solutions are essential to tackling the interconnected challenges of safeguarding human rights and security, ecological integrity and social equity to ensure a sustainable, fair and more inclusive future for all.

Peace & Disarmament

To achieve human and environmental security, we urgently need to re-direct military spending and build a sustainable culture of peace. The effects of war can be felt long after a conflict has ceased.

Climate & Energy

Despite noticeable climate change, 80% of our energy still comes from massively subsidised fossil fuels at the expense of future generations. With the right policy incentives, we can rapidly spread abundant renewable energies and achieve a 100% target.

Sustainable Ecosystems

We are consuming the foundations of our existence at a faster rate than the planet can replenish them. The sustainable use of natural resources and effective ecosystem management is critical to our shared future.

Rwanda’s National Forest Policy

Despite continuing population and land pressures, Rwanda is achieving a major reversal in the trend of declining forest cover. A National Forest Policy, with the ambition of making forestry one of the bedrocks of the economy and ensure a national ecological balance with sustainable benefits for all segments of society, was implemented in 2004 and most recently updated in 2018. In 2011, Rwanda’s National Forest Policy was recognised as the world’s most inspiring and innovative forest policy with a Gold Future Policy Award.
