Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi (President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo), Gim Huay Neo (Managing Director, World Economic Forum), John F. Kerry (Co-Executive Chair, Galvanize) and Jozef Sikela (Commissioner for International Partnerships, European Commission), focus on the Congo Basin, the world’s largest tropical forest carbon sink, which sequesters 1.5 billion tons of CO₂ annually and supports 139 million people. With two-thirds of this vital forest in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the speakers discuss how bold policies and collaborative efforts can balance conservation, sustainable economic development, and peace-building. Emphasis is placed on international partnerships and innovative solutions to protect this critical global resource.
