DRC, a solution country to the climate crisis

Last November, during the COP26, President Félix Tshisekedi presented the DRC as a solution country to the climate crisis.

The organization of the Precop27 in the Democratic Republic of Congo has the advantage of placing the country at the center of the world's climate challenges, as is its positioning as a solution-country to the climate crisis.

Indeed, rich in natural resources, the DRC plays an important role in the fight against climate change.
The natural resources of the Democratic Republic of Congo were at the heart of the current ecological transition and now at the center of the debate on the fight against climate change.
