I should have been alongside @PresidentABO at the Future Investment Forum but am confined to my hotel room with #COVID19 - participating remotely via #Twitter. President Bongo insisted on the need for economic transformation that keeps the Congo Basin forests standing.
In this Comment published in "Nature" today Ministers and scientists from Congo basin highlight the need for investment in research and training in the neglected rain forests of Central Africa.

@LeeWhiteCBE If the celebrated CCS company Orca launched in Iceland last month can capture only 4000 tonnes of co2 yearly at $1000/ton, then the Congo Basin rainforests, already built & absorbing 600 million tonnes of carbon yearly, should be worth at least $300 billion, even at half price!
