Stricter deforestation limits set in revised Norway deal

Erik Solheim

New terms for Guyana’s forests’ deal with Norway have been agreed, with payments from Oslo to decrease should the deforestation level here increase over last year’s level.

“There is room for small fluctuations but if you go above last year’s results then you immediately start to reduce the amount [of money] due to Guyana. At 0.1 [percent of deforestation]… nothing is due to Guyana,”
