Role of multilateral coordination
Multilateral coordination amplified the DRC’s bargaining power by transforming its vast rainforest resources into collective leverage. Through REDD+ and alliances with the Coalition for Rainforest Nations, Brazil, and Indonesia, the DRC positioned itself as part of a bloc of “solution countries” vital to global climate goals. Acting collectively, these nations pressured wealthier states to provide climate finance and recognize conservation as a global public good. This coordination enhanced the DRC’s credibility, visibility, and negotiating strength, ensuring its demands for financial support and recognition carried greater weight in international climate negotiations.
