FRANCE 24 English The crucial role of Congo’s rainforest • FRANCE 24 English

At COP30 in Brazil, leaders are highlighting the Congo rainforest’s crucial role as the world’s largest carbon sink. Despite storing 91 billion tons of carbon, it faces rapid deforestation, with the DRC losing 590,000 hectares in 2024. Calling for climate justice, African nations urge more global support. France plans a €2.5 billion initiative to help protect the region’s forests.
