President Donald Ramotar speaking at a side event at the Rio+20 conference currently underway in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil identified the need to reconcile two global forces that have traditionally been seen as incompatible, protecting the environment and economic development, as a critical challenge that must be overcome by the global community.
President Ramotar also told leaders and key players in the environmental arena that there is consonance between Guyana’s Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS) efforts and the theme of the side event “Green economy and inclusive growth for a sustainable future,”
