On the sidelines of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP27) in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, the Rwanda Green Fund and the Development Bank of Rwanda have launched Ireme Invest, a groundbreaking new green investment facility that will support Rwanda’s private sector to access green finance and increase the sector’s contribution to the country’s response to climate change.
Rwanda has set an ambitious climate action agenda to build the country's resilience and foster green growth. To achieve these goals, the country needs investments totaling USD 11 billion. Ireme Invest comes in response to this need by offering a range of financial instruments tailored to meet the needs of Rwanda’s private sector.

Francine Mestrum (University of Ghent) is scepticipal about the concept of degrowth. She believes 'economic growth' should take into account gender-related non-monetary activities and therefore needs another measure than the GDP. Ronald Janssen (European Trade Union Confederation, on the left)) also believes that we need growth (e.g. to maintain jobs) but that we also need 'another way of growing'.

The clean up of Brandt's Creek, located at the centre of the property, was the focus of CLC’s remediation efforts. At the time, the creek was heavily polluted and crossed the property through a series of culverts and shallow ditches. CLC developed a 4.4-acre (1.8-hectare) stream protection corridor, reinstating Brandt's Creek as a 350-metre waterway.
The new native plantings and natural structures restored the stream bank and in stream character of Brandt's Creek. This led to the return of a number of natural species to the property, including the great blue heron -- a majestic bird that had not been seen along the creek for several years.
Today, Brandt’s Creek Crossing is a thriving residential neighbourhood in one of B.C.’s fastest growing cities. The completed project is a testament to CLC’s strong commitment to environmental remediation.

Les efforts de nettoyage de la SIC ont été axés sur le ruisseau Brandt, au centre de la propriété. À l’époque, le ruisseau était très pollué et franchissait la propriété par une série de buses et de fossés peu profonds. La SIC a établi un corridor de protection du ruisseau de 4,4 acres (1,8 hectare) et a retracé le ruisseau Brandt sur une distance de 350 mètres.
Le recours à des plantes indigènes et à des structures naturelles a permis de restaurer les berges du ruisseau, et de lui redonner un caractère naturel plus invitant pour la faune. De nombreuses espèces sont donc revenues dans le secteur, y compris le grand héron – un oiseau imposant qui n’avait pas été observé sur la berge depuis des années.
Aujourd’hui, Brandt’s Creek Crossing est un quartier résidentiel animé situé dans une des villes à la croissance la plus rapide en C.-B. Ce projet illustre l’engagement de la SIC en matière d’assainissement environnemental.

Studies have shown that climate change will cause a shift of climatic zones in the ecosystems of Altai-Sayan, resulting in the migration of animals and plants. In response, a buffer zone of about 600,000 hectares of protected forests has been created between the Western and Eastern part of the region to protect the migration routes of globally threatened species, such as the snow leopard, lynx, European red deer, elk, argali, and more.
