President David Granger, on Tuesday evening, outlined three critical partnership areas for Guyana in support of climate financing in the international fight against the effects of climate change.
A Ministry of the Presidency statement said that he cited these as improved coastal zone management, better drainage and water storage and supply systems and more modern hydro-meteorological services.
Granger made these remarks at a concert organised by the European Union (EU) to mark the ratification of the Paris Climate Change Agreement. The concert was held at the Marriott Hotel in Kingston.
Granger said that Guyana can develop an international partnership model that the rest of the world could emulate. “The Guyana-European Union partnership has remained relevant, resilient and responsive to the changing threats for over four decades. Guyana is grateful for the support it has received from the European Union and expects further, fruitful cooperation in the future, especially for climate adaptation… Guyana is pursuing a low-carbon, low-emission, green trajectory of economic development. Guyana will become a ‘green state.’ Cooperation with Guyana is a global good,” he said.
