The DRC has significant natural resources, including minerals such as cobalt and copper, untapped hydroelectric potential, significant arable land, immense biodiversity and the second largest tropical forest in the world.
By positioning itself as a solution country in the face of climate change, the DRC demonstrates a strong commitment to the conservation and sustainable use of its biodiversity in a manner consistent with national development objectives. The country is identifying a diverse range of financing solutions for biodiversity management.
The objective of the workshop organized by the DRC Ministry of Finance and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa was to present and discuss the feasibility study on the opportunities of the swap of external public debt to finance climate action in the DRC, which was conducted by Potomac Group.
