Georgetown: As part of Guyana’s international obligations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the country is expected to submit its third national communication document.
Office of Climate Change head Shyam Nokta said the document presents an opportunity for Guyana to outline national steps taken to address climate change.
“This third national communication process is happening at a time when climate change is being underscored as the most important global issue that we are facing today… climate change is like a runaway train and right now this train is only gaining momentum and even if it reduces speed, we are still heading for catastrophe,” Nokta said.
Under the country’s partnership with Norway, Guyana is implementing the second largest interim REDD+ mechanism, and has successfully recorded three consecutive years of good performance, for which it received funds.
