Commonwealth Day observance:

 Minister of Foreign Affairs, Carl Greenidge, who is also performing the duties of President, on Monday said that educating, motivating and encouraging youths can help them to develop innovative solutions, which can reduce the effects of climate change and global warming.

 A release from the Ministry of the Presidency said that the Minister was at the time addressing a forum at the Umana Yana, which was organised by the Parliament of Guyana in observance of Commonwealth Day 2018.  As part of the event, the Parliament’s office planned an “Exhibition of Innovative Projects to inculcate attitudes to protect the environment and combat climate change,” which saw schools from all 10 administrative regions showcasing technology and science-based projects on climate change and the environment.
