According to recent data from Global Forest Watch (May 2024), deforestation in the Congo Basin—the world's second-largest tropical forest—continues to advance. These forests, which are vital for the global climate, biodiversity, and the livelihoods of millions of local and indigenous communities, are disappearing year after year despite commitments made by governments and numerous initiatives launched at various levels. In 2024, forest fires reached record levels, but they are not the only culprits: other well-known drivers continue to fuel forest loss. So why does deforestation persist? How effective are the actions taken? And above all, what sustainable solutions could reverse the trend?

Join our webinar to dive into Global Forest Watch data and discover the hotspots of deforestation in the Congo Basin. Experts will share their analyses on the effectiveness of solutions already in place and highlight innovative, multi-scale initiatives that, if strengthened and scaled up, could truly change the game for the future of forests and the climate.
