Guyana and the UK are aiming for a better understanding on how the two countries can cooperate on climate change.
And on Monday the Office of Climate Change at the Office of the President received a delegation from the Government of the United Kingdom as part of ongoing bilateral engagements on climate change, the Office of the President said in a press release.
Among the areas discussed were progress on Guyana’s climate initiatives; the Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS) and the Interim REDD+ mechanism being implemented through the Guyana-Norway partnership.
The release noted also that Guyana’s LCDS has won international acclaim as a workable model for forested developing countries of the world to achieve national development goals through sustainable exploitation of natural resources. The UK delegation was led by British High Commissioner Andrew Ayre and also included Ian Bolton, Climate Change and Energy Desk Officer at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and Matt Nottingham, Political Officer at the British High Commission in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago.
