Stop Oil and Gas Projects in the DRC
Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo
The Democratic Republic of the Congo is home to the Congo Basin, one of the world’s largest tropical rainforests, which is essential for biodiversity, the climate, and the livelihoods of millions of people. The expansion of new oil and gas projects threatens these ecosystems, endangers local communities, and undermines efforts to combat climate change.
