Describing Hurricane Irma which barrelled through the Caribbean earlier this month as a deadly and destructive portent of the vulnerability of small island developing states, President David Granger on Wednesday called on the United Nations to help protect the `Guiana Shield’.
“A sustainable planet is humanity’s ultimate patrimony. Nothing is more vital to people’s survival,” President Granger observed during his address to the 72nd Session of the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN), in which he cited Guyana’s role in global environmental stewardship.
