The opposition APNU+AFC yesterday blasted Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo for not entering meaningful discussions with it on Guyana’s platform for the COP26 climate meeting later this month and for stating that the previous country position of 100% green energy by 2025 would be cut in half.

In a statement yesterday, APNU+AFC pointed to an exclusive interview Jagdeo gave to this newspaper and which was reported in the last Sunday Stabroek.

Jagdeo had said that the APNU+AFC commitment while in office for 100% green energy by 2025 was “wild and unrealistic” and that Guyana would likely move to a position of 50% of green energy by 2025 at the COP26 summit in Scotland from October 31 to November 12.
