Rwanda has launched a new facility that will invest in climate action led by the public sector on the sidelines of COP27 in Sharm El-Sheik, Egypt. The facility, which will be managed by the Rwanda Green Fund, has been capitalised through a grant of EUR 46 million from the Federal Republic of Germany through the Rwandan-German Climate and Development Partnership.
Known formally as the NDC Facility, the new funding will be available to government institutions working to implement Rwanda's climate action plan, also known as the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to the Paris Agreement.
The NDC Facility will be housed at the Rwanda Green Fund and act as the financial driver of Rwanda’s climate action plan. It also aims to attract additional climate finance from investors and development partners looking to be part of Rwanda’s green growth journey.
At the event, Rwanda and Germany also signed a Joint Declaration of Intent on Climate Research and Science Cooperation. The declaration will facilitate scientific exchange between Rwanda and Germany, supporting scientific analyses of the impacts of climate change.

Image Craft's ICON Themed Environments division created this new suite of office furniture, custom designed for our recently expanded Colorado office, now located in Centennial.
Shown here in various stages of production are a reception desk, media wall with podium, conference room table, storage and display credenzas, and more! The furnishings, primarily composed of shop ply and MDF, feature a zebra wood laminate with folkstone gray and matte black laminate work surfaces.
This project was produced entirely in-house in our Phoenix headquarters, from design to fabrication, and ultimately, through on-site installation. Backlit lettering and graphics are also part of the overall concept, and will be the final addition. We'll add more photos here as the project progresses.

Looking towards Kissack Bay/Cove. The tree stumps weren't visible when I was there just 6 months before. And, 'no', what looks like a human on the left side of the picture isn't, it's a tree stump.
In response to rising world concern about the conditions of man’s habitat, representatives of some 130 nations converged on Stockholm, Sweden, in an unprecedented meeting to seek ways to translate that concern into a global attack on the common perils menacing the environment. The two-week U.N. Conference on the Human Environment (5-16 June) was called by the General Assembly with the aim of producing an international political consensus on ways of preserving and improving the environment for this and future generations.
Maurice Strong, Secretary-General of the Conference, addressing a group of people at a “Whale Celebration” held at Skarpnack. One of the recommendations made at the Conference was – Governments should reach an international agreement to stop the commercial hunting of whales for 10 years, and should prepare conventions to protect migratory animals and those that inhabit international waters; a global programme should be initiated to preserve the world’s genetic resources through conservation and seed banks.

Back in the spring, our editor Daniel Kelly took a trip to Sippo Lake in Stark County, Ohio. Park managers are studying water quality after recent sediment load reduction efforts. As a part of the study, local high schools and colleges are using the lake to create place-based learning opportunities.
This is one of the monitoring sites at a major inflow to Sippo Lake, on its southern end.
