Guyana’s Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS) will soon benefit from implementation support following a Memorandum of Understanding between the Government of Guyana and The Energy and Research Institute (TERI) headed by Dr. R.K Pachauri, Nobel Prize Laureate and Chairman of the Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
The broad areas identified for assistance include support for long-term strategy development in the energy sector with a focus on renewable energy and energy efficiency and the establishment of a partnership for setting up a Centre for Biodiversity Studies, a statement from the Office of the President said last Thursday.
Former President of Guyana Bharrat Jagdeo and Shyam Nokta from the Office of the President held discussions in Delhi with Dr. R.K Pachauri and TERI officials which will see Guyana receiving support from TERI in the implementation of its climate initiatives and the LCDS, the statement added.
