with help from King Charles Foundation

President Irfaan Ali yesterday said that encompassed in his government’s sustainable urban development plan is the restoring of this country’s capital city to its one-time “garden” image and it has secured the help of the King Charles Foundation.

“For those of us who are old enough, we recall the images of the then President and King Charles walking through gardens and discussing and talking about LCDS… we look forward for the continuing support and work now with the King’s Foundation, especially in the area of sustainable urban development,” Ali said.

Ali was at the time addressing a high-level discussion on the theme, “Restoring Ambition for International Climate and Deve-lopment: Learning from Guyana’s Low Carbon Develop-ment Strategy and Its Global Model for Forest Finance”, held yesterday at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre in Liliendaal.
