Democratic Republic of the Congo
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) straddles the equator, with one third of the country to the North and the rest to the South. Two basins, namely the Congo and the Nile basin, run through the country and it spreads over three climatic zones: the hot and humid equatorial basin, the cool and dry South and the wetter and colder eastern mountain region. Climate change is causing disturbances in rainfall patterns and increasing temperatures, especially around the equator. The impacts of these changes affect the agricultural calendar and lower crop yields. Simultaneously, the risk of disasters, such as floods and landslides is increasing. The distribution of wildlife species is also affected by temperature changes and water availability.
