During his appearance on the American podcast The Redline, Professor BOSSISSI NKUBA, professor in the Department of Environmental Sciences and researcher at the Mining and Environmental Governance Center (CEGEMI) of Université Catholique de Bukavu painted a picture of the mining boom in the DRC, focusing on its impact on local communities.
What infrastructure are multinationals seeking to improve? How does the central government enforce its regulations at the provincial and municipal levels? What other factors lead to regulatory conflicts between national and provincial authorities? These are the questions that Professor BOSSISSI answers with expertise.
Discussing with Michael Hillard (The Red Line Podcast), Jason Stearns (Simon Frazer University), Ben Radley (University of Bath & CEGEMI) and Emilia Columbo (CSIS Africa & Voxcroft), Prof Bossissi shows how the DRC, having the bulk of the world’s cobalt and being affected by multiple wars, can still help in the global fight against climate change.
