DESCRIPTION:Climate finance is often presented as a solution to deforestat
 ion\, yet forest landscapes are shaped by competing financial and land-use
  interests. This seminar examines the transformative potential of REDD+ fi
 nance in the Democratic Republic of Congo\, showing how its influence is c
 onstrained in contexts dominated by extractive activities. Tracing financi
 al and commodity flows\, the seminar highlights how overlapping mining\, t
 imber\, carbon\, and oil interests shape land-use change and can reinforce
  inequality\, calling for a rethinking of deforestation narratives.\nSpeak
 ers:\nDr Niak Sian Koh (University of Oxford)
