Green Conversations symposium hears of need to measure development differently

The need to have better metrics to measure development in the country was highlighted and emphasised at the most recent symposium.

Conservation International in collaboration with the Department of Environment, UN-Environment, the Green State Development Strategy (GSDS) Coordination Office, WWF-Guianas, the University of Guyana and the Ministry of Finance partnered to host sessions of “Green Conversations” that are open, non-partisan spaces geared towards encouraging the Guyanese population to “think differently about their lifestyle choices.”

The series is intended to be an awareness-raising tool specifically tailored to Georgetown and surrounding communities, and their needs and priorities.
