Minister of Natural Resources Vickram Bharrat presented the country’s forward-thinking approach to climate finance at the recent Amazonian Forever Summit held in Belem, Brazil, from July 26 to 27. The summit, which gathered ministers and officials from various Amazonian nations, provided a platform for sharing strategies and solutions for sustainable development in the Amazon region.
According to a press statement, Bharrat highlighted Guyana’s pioneering Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS), which demonstrates how economic growth and environmental sustainability can coexist. Central to this strategy is the effective valuation of forest ecosystems, which plays a crucial role in Guyana’s climate finance framework.
