The Carbon Brief Profile: DRC

@joshgabbatiss.bsky.social and @giulianaviglione.bsky.social explain how a rainforest-covered nation that uses hardly any fossil fuels can still be one of the world's biggest emitters.

Text: DRC. Democratic Republic of the Congo was the 12th largest emitter of greenhouse gases in 2018. It is home to around 60% of the Congo Basin rainforest and deforestation produced 92% of its emissions. Only around one-fifth of the DRC population has access to electricity, and the nation uses hardly any fossil fuels. Background image: outline of the DRC.
