2025 Congo Basin Assessment Report – Congo Basin Resilience and Sustainability: From the Past to the Future
The 2025 Congo Basin Assessment Report, developed by the Science Panel for the Congo Basin, provides the most comprehensive regional scientific assessment to date of the Congo Basin, a system of global importance for climate regulation, biodiversity, and sustainable development. Developed by more than 180 scientists primarily from the region, the report synthesizes current knowledge across ecological, social, and economic dimensions, tracing the Basin’s evolution from its geological origins through centuries of human interaction to present-day transformations while identifying pathways to secure its long-term resilience. It examines the Basin’s role in the Earth system, patterns of human-environment interaction over time, the post-1992 transition toward sustainable development, and the solutions required to build a resilient future.
