<br/><br/> The Democratic Republic of Congo has the natural resources the world needs  it is crucial to satisfying our craving for the latest high-tech gadgets; the Inga Dam could light up all of Africa; while Congos farmers could feed a billion people. These realities are redefining the countrys strategic contribution to a globalized world. A resource paradise for some, the DRC is an environmental nightmare for others. Congos Environmental Paradox analyses the new dynamics in the countrys forest, mineral, land, water and oil sectors, revealing the interactions between these sectors. Connecting the dots, it shows how we need to fundamentally rethink power, politics and resource management in Congo today
