    Rwanda’s livestock sector has expanded significantly in recent years, with growth in animal populations and livestock-derived products largely driven by government modernization initiatives. Despite these gains, the sector faces dual challenges: heightened vulnerability to climate change and a considerable contribution to greenhouse gas emissions, particularly methane. This report reviews Rwanda’s policy frameworks for climate-resilient livestock development and applies the IPCC Tier 2 methodology to estimate methane emissions from dairy cattle. Findings highlight the dominance of the zero-grazing system and its major share of enteric methane emissions. Mitigation options such as diet reformulation, improved forage management, and adoption of anaerobic digesters are identified as effective strategies to reduce emissions while improving productivity.

    Agrifood systems in nationally determined contributions
    Global analysis

    The purpose of this analysis is to present an overview of the status of agrifood systems in NDCs, as well as provide insights into the extent to which NDCs are contributing to the climate-resilient and low-emissions agrifood system transformations needed to achieve the Paris Agreement. It provides an overview of the major climate-related risks and greenhouse gas hot spots in agrifood systems, and it synthesizes the main climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies being set forth in the nationally determined contributions to address them. It also takes stock of the underpinning governance, knowledge and capacity and finance needs articulated to enable climate action in agrifood systems. Lastly, it highlights mitigation, adaptation and climate finance ambition gaps in agrifood systems to inform enhanced ambition, action and support.
