The Ministry of the Presidency yesterday indicated that the framework document for Guyana’s development along a ‘green’ pathway has been finalized.
The document titled ‘Framework of the Guyana Green State Development Strategy and Financing Mechanisms, is intended to provide guidance on the prioritized areas to be developed in the Green State Development Strategy (GSDS). It reportedly lays out the elements to be examined and consulted upon during the course of developing the GSDS.
The Ministry said that the document represents a roadmap for developing Guyana along a reduced emissions pathway, and builds on the successes of the Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS) and several other national documents such as the Nationally Determined Contributions, Climate Resilience Strategy Action Plan (CRSAP), Draft National Energy Policy, and National Adaptation Strategy for the Agricultural Sector (2009 -2018).
The Ministry indicated that the development of the GSDS will be completed over the course of the next 12–18 months. Nationwide consultations and stakeholders’ feedback will guide the development of the seven major themes of the strategy.
The ministry listed the themes of the strategy to include structural transformation; Sustainable management of natural resources; Energy – transition towards renewable energy; Resilient infrastructure and spatial development; Human development and wellbeing; Governance and institutional foundations; and, International cooperation, trade and investment.
The Ministry said that there will be a massive sensitization campaign to raise awareness of the Framework document. This campaign will ensure that consultations and engagements over the next 12-18 months are informed and constructive.
