Last update: 41 minutes agoPorts and Emissions: A.P. Moller Capital has agreed to buy Portek International, whose terminals include one in Gabon. The buyer says it will work on safety and environmental performance, including emissions planning, after the deal closes. Biodiversity Commitments: Ahead of COP17, 113 countries have submitted updated nature plans, but Gabon-specific progress was not detailed. WWF’s Congo Basin director says protected areas must be kept free of mining, while funding and wildlife monitoring remain major challenges. Congo Basin Funding: WWF is urging a shift from scattered projects to landscape-wide investment that supports forest protection alongside local livelihoods; only about 4% of funding for major tropical forest basins reached the Congo Basin in 2017–21. Energy Plans: Gabon and SEEG signed an agreement with Aurion Capital for a proposed gas-fired power programme in Greater Libreville, ranging from 150 to 450 MW. It aims to supply homes and industry; its environmental implications were not specified.
