Ce déplacement sera également consacré aux grands défis que partage la communauté internationale avec la RDC en matière de protection de l’environnement et de lutte contre les effets du changement climatique, conformément à l’engagement 100% Accord de Paris du Groupe AFD et quelques semaines après la COP26 de Glasgow.
