Toshaos council blasts climate change office over lack of engagement on opt-in mechanism

The National Toshaos Council (NTC), in a recent statement, blasted the Office of Climate Change (OCC) for what it said was the lack of engagement of the NTC and the indigenous peoples on the ‘opt-in’ mechanism.

“The National Toshaos Council once again is left in the dark and without the much needed support to execute its mandate by the Government of Guyana,” the statement read before going on to highlight several instances in which it said that the OCC failed to properly engage the NTC.

Attempts to contact the OCC in relation to the NTC’s concerns were unsuccessful.
