Unlocking the Potential of Guyana’s Oil and Gas Economy: Balancing Energy Development and Environmental Stewardship

The presenter, Dr. Ulric Trotz, Science Adviser, Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre, Belize,  and discussants: Dr. Anthony Bryan, UWI and Dr. Thomas Singh, University of Guyana, explores Unlocking the Potential of Guyana’s Oil and Gas Economy: Balancing Energy Development and Environmental Stewardship”.

In keeping with its obligations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, Guyana developed a Low Carbon Development Strategy and a Climate Resilient Strategy and Action Plan that aim to achieve zero carbon status and climate resiliency in line with the Paris Agreement. 

However, the discovery of substantial oil and gas resources in Guyana now places the country in a seemingly contradictory position as both a current victim of climate change and an actor exacerbating the problem.

How do we reconcile these to roles?
