Title: DRC demands fair compensation for its contribution to preserving the global climate
During her speech at the international conference on Wednesday, November 12, the Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Judith Suminwa Tuluka, raised a crucial issue: the need for the international community and polluting countries to rethink fair compensation for local communities and indigenous peoples in the DRC. This request echoes the crucial role played by the country in preserving the global climate. Indeed, the DRC is home to a significant portion of the Amazon rainforest, which is a major player in regulating the global climate.
This statement by the Prime Minister underlines the importance of recognizing and valuing the work of local communities and indigenous peoples in preserving the environment. It is crucial that developed countries and large companies become aware of the impact of their activities on local populations and ecosystems, and that they contribute fairly to their compensation. This demand for fair compensation is a call for international solidarity and shared responsibility in the fight against climate change.
Let us now turn to the situation on the ground in Kinshasa, where measures have been taken by the CNPR to combat traffic jams. For three weeks, the city has been experimenting with one-way and alternating traffic on certain main arteries, from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. and from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. This initiative aims to smooth traffic flow and reduce the monstrous traffic jams that paralyze the Congolese capital on a daily basis. By increasing the presence of law enforcement on the ground, the CNPR is seeking to establish a new, more efficient and secure model of urban mobility.
These measures demonstrate a political will to solve a major problem that impacts the daily lives of Kinshasa residents. By promoting smoother traffic flow, the city could see its residents improve their quality of life and productivity. It is essential that these initiatives are monitored and evaluated regularly to measure their real impact on the lives of citizens.
In conclusion, the DRC’s request for fair compensation for its contribution to preserving the global climate raises essential questions about environmental justice and collective responsibility. At the same time, the measures taken in Kinshasa to improve urban traffic demonstrate a desire to optimize infrastructure and mobility policies. It is essential that these initiatives are supported and developed to build a more sustainable and inclusive future for all.
