The European Space Agency (ESA) Global Development Assistance (GDA) Agile Earth Observation (EO) Information Development (AID) Climate Resilience Consortium used ESA’s Climate Change Initiative land cover data to help the World Bank with the development of a Forest Deep Dive analysis for the Country Climate and Development Report (CCDR) of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
Description
The European Space Agency (ESA) Global Development Assistance (GDA) Agile Earth Observation (EO) Information Development (AID) Climate Resilience Consortium used ESA’s Climate Change Initiative land cover data to help the World Bank with the development of a Forest Deep Dive analysis for the Country Climate and Development Report (CCDR) of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
The World Bank’s CCDRs are instrumental in helping countries identify impactful actions to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and enhance adaptation, aligning them with broader development goals. These reports leverage data and research to inform decision-makers and stakeholders, facilitating evidence-based decision-making, promoting collaboration, and guiding resource allocation for high-impact climate-smart development.
