Innovative finance for tropical forest conservation in the Congo Basin

Share:


The forests of the Congo Basin absorb about 1.1 billion tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere per year, making them vital ecosystems to protect, restore and sustainably manage. However, Central Africa remains the tropical forest sub-region that attracts the least international funding for forests, climate and the environment in general. The session aims to place the cause of the Congo Basin on the international scene, promote financing for the conservation of the Congo Basin forests and biodiversity, mobilize support from partners and spark debates between scientists and politicians to mobilize financial resources through innovative financing mechanisms.
