Bloomberg Features the Science Panel for the Congo Basin

Bloomberg recently highlighted the Science Panel for the Congo Basin (SPCB) and its groundbreaking scientific report on the future of the Congo Basin—the world’s largest tropical carbon sink. Released during COP30 in Belém, the report warns that the region is at a critical turning point, with only a decade left to prevent irreversible damage to this essential ecosystem. Authored by 177 experts from across the basin and beyond, the report underscores the urgent need for stronger conservation efforts, international cooperation, and sustainable investment to protect the Congo Basin’s forests, biodiversity, and climate-regulating role for future generations.
