According to the World Bank’s new Country Climate and Development Report (CCDR) for the Democratic Republic of the Conge (DRC), the country must build stronger and more resilient institutions, address increased conflict and fragility situations, and invest substantially to achieve its ambitious climate goals.

The report sets out four urgent action areas. All four action areas are relatively affordable now, but would cost substantially more if implemented later, according to the authors. These include:

• Implementing the vision of DRC as a “climate solutions country" by investing in climate smart mining, hydropower development, forest preservation, and integrated landscape management;
• Increasing agricultural productivity and food security through climate-smart agriculture and support to farmer‑led irrigation;
• Developing climate resilient transport and cities, enhancing digital access, and improving access to basic services; and Enhancing governance and boosting human capital by reducing poverty, increasing social inclusion, and enhancing security.
