"Gabon is 88% covered by tropical rainforest. We have maintained deforestation below 0.1% over 5 decades and net absorb over 100m tonnes of CO2 annually. Few countries are doing more for the planet.
Developed nations, particularly the UK, the origin of the Industrial Revolution, have to do the heavy lifting – but they make false promises and fail to provide true leadership or even honour their modest financial commitments.”
Lee White,
Environment Minister,
