Dear Partner,
As the year ends, we wish to express our gratitude for your support in the implementation of the roadmap of the French and Gabonese co-facilitation of the Congo Basin Forest Partnership (CBFP).
2024 was marked by the success of the 20th CBFP Meeting of Parties organised in June 2024 in Kinshasa and the organisation of the first Central African Youth Forum on tropical forests. Several other important gatherings like; the “ Agriculture, Pastoralism and Protected Areas” international conference in the framework of the implementation of the Ndjamena Declaration of October 2024, the regional forum on value chains organised in December, Douala, Cameroon or different events organised in parallel with the three Conferences of Parties of the Rio conventions were opportunities to carry on our joint action in favour of the tropical forests of the Congo Basin .
In 2025, we shall carry on with our joint action in favour of ecosystems and Congo Basin populations. We shall carry on with reflections in the Post Congo Basin Pledge in view of the 2025 30th session of the Conference of Parties at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 30 Climate) in Belém, Brazil. We shall equally work to strengthen the operationalisation and governance of the CBFP. Finally, we shall mobilise to strengthen our actions against environmental crimes by organising an international conference in Libreville by summer 2025.
We wish you happy 2024 festive season and an excellent new year 2025!
Ambassador, Aurélie Flore Koumba Pambo, CBFP Co-Facilitator of the Republic of Gabon;
Ambassador Salina Grenet-Catalano, CBPF Co-facilitator of the Republic of France.
