Making climate risk financially visible: what SRS 1 means for Rwanda

Rwanda has established itself as a leader in translating climate ambition into action from green growth planning to climate budget tagging and innovative financing mechanisms. The next step is not just action, but visibility: ensuring climate risks are clearly reflected in financial decision-making.

The International Public Sector Accounting Standards Board’s Sustainability Reporting Standard 1 (SRS 1) offers a practical pathway to achieve this. By embedding climate-related risks and opportunities into financial reporting, SRS 1 enables governments to connect climate priorities with budgets, public assets, and long-term fiscal sustainability.

For Rwanda, this is an opportunity to move from ambition to accountability placing climate risk at the centre of how decisions are made, resources are allocated, and resilience is built.
