Prime Minister, the honourable Gaston Browne attended “Guyana’s Pathway to Climate Resilience: Scaling Low Carbon Leadership & Conserving Biodiversity,” a high-level side event held at Casa Balaio in Belém, State of Pará, Brazil, on the margins of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30).
The event, hosted by the Government of Guyana in partnership with the Global Biodiversity Alliance, brought together regional leaders, policymakers, and climate advocates to exchange ideas on strengthening low-carbon strategies and conserving biodiversity across the Amazon region and Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
In brief remarks, the Prime Minister commended participants for their active engagement and robust dialogue on climate action.
“We have had a big debate about the issue of climate change. I know you have all had a very intensive conversation. I would like to thank you for allowing us to have a very meaningful discussion on this topic,” he said. “It has a lot to do with our mission of providing dynamic information to the people of the world.”
The Prime Minister extended appreciation to the Government and people of Guyana for hosting the discussion and reaffirmed his commitment to advancing collaborative regional efforts to confront the climate crisis.
This engagement forms part of Antigua and Barbuda’s wider participation at COP30, where the delegation continues to advocate for ambitious global action and financing mechanisms to safeguard vulnerable island nations.
