Low Carbon Development Strategy (Guyana)

The Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS) of Guyana is a national plan aimed at balancing economic growth with environmental protection. It focuses on using Guyana's natural resources—like forests and renewable energy—to promote sustainable development while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The strategy emphasizes conserving forests to act as carbon sinks, investing in renewable energy sources, and ensuring responsible resource management. By doing so, Guyana aims to grow its economy, protect its rich biodiversity, and contribute to global efforts to fight climate change, all while ensuring a sustainable and resilient future for its people.
