Reference

The first African country to commit to the Paris Agreement in 2015, Gabon committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions and placing 30% of its land under state protection to limit the extinction of the species that inhabit it. Gabon, whose economy relies largely on the forestry sector, which represents 60% of GDP (excluding hydrocarbons), has made commitments to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2025, thanks in particular to sustainable land use. The country sequesters more than 100 million tons of CO2 per year. This makes Gabon one of the few countries in the world to have gone beyond carbon neutrality to become positive in CO2 absorption.

Reference

Gabon is the first country in the region whose efforts against deforestation have been recognized by Norway. In 2019, a landmark agreement was signed, resulting in the payment of $150 million over ten years (€126 million). At COP26, Gabon's President, Ali Bongo Ondimba, reiterated that the "climate integrity" of nations seemed essential given the deteriorating situation of flora and fauna and the new threats facing the territories, such as rising sea levels. Gabon chaired the group of African negotiators ahead of COP26.

In early 2021, the SCO certification of a mangrove preservation project propelled Gabon to the status of SCO Acceleration Committee or SAC. The goal remains to quickly transform the acceleration committee into SCO Gabon. The international Space Climate Observatory (SCO) initiative responds to the need for international coordination to accurately assess and monitor the consequences of climate change based on observations and numerical models. At the 6th European Union/African Union summit held in Brussels from February 17 to 18, 2022, President Ali Bongo Ondimba reaffirmed his commitment and his country's efforts to better protect the environment.
