Guyana to soon receive US $40M from Norway

Prime Minister of Norway Mr. Jens Stoltenberg has reaffirmed the country’s support for the implementation of Guyana’s Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS) which continues to be hailed as a model for sustainable development, according to the Government Information Agency (GINA).


Mr Stoltenberg gave this assurance to President Donald Ramotar in Brazil today where many countries’ leaders and climate change experts have gathered for the Rio+20 summit in Rio de Janeiro.


The Norwegian Prime Minister expressed satisfaction with work of LCDS and indicated that Guyana will soon receive another US $40M and later this year, US$60M.

 

Guyana in partnership with Norway, which is located in Northern Europe, has been implementing an Interim REDD+ arrangement through which the country has already earned about US$70 M in performance- based payments from avoided deforestation and under which the country can earn up to US$ 250 M by 2015.

 

During a side meeting organised by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) of India in association with the German Federal Environment Agency (UBA) and Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES), Japan, on Tuesday, President Ramotar explained that the financing his country is garnering, is being utilised to execute projects that will allow the country to meet "almost its entire domestic energy needs through clean energy; support the diversification of the national and local economy and thereby reduce pressures on our forests, and to implement measures to adapt to climate change."


During the meeting today, President Ramotar also expressed condolence to Norway’s Prime Minister for the recent tragedies the country has faced.


In July last, a Norwegian national went on a shooting and bombing rampage that claimed the lives of 77 people, most of whom were youths on an island at a summer camp.


Guyana and Norway on November 18, 2009 signed the historic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), symbolically at Fairview village, Region Nine to protect Guyana’s tropical forests.

 

The MoU is a declaration of the two countries’ determination to work together to provide the world with a working example of how partnerships between developed and developing countries can save the world’s tropical forests.


The partnership is part of the Norwegian Government’s International Climate and Forest Initiative that was first launched in December 2007 during the climate change negotiations at Bali.

You don't seem smart enough to understand what TK said about the LCDS.

The biggest snakeoil ever sold was the LCDS was going to bring in US$580 mill each year forever. This strategy is a complete waste of time that Jagdeo indulged in to self promote. Do you really believe $40 mill US$ from Norway is enough to finance the development the country needs? What I said was the LCDS is palliative and it is intended to maintain the masses at subsistence while an elite class will own most of the wealth and resources. I still believe that.

What makes you believe I need KN for my info on the LCDS?

President Ramotar has issued a chilling warning… “I want to say that as a global community we cannot continue with the business as usual approach or we will head down a path of global catastrophe. The situation requires global leadership, political will and commitment. At the same time, this has to be complimented by home grown solutions and initiatives because at the end of the day, it is collectively local action that will make a global difference.’

 

That is correct. However, no one cares including China, US, Indian and now add Europe to the list. LCDS was going to fail from day one.

Tk made fun of t he idea of LCDS as and economic model to grow a society. It is merely an extension of our usual opportunistic  begging bowl strategy and an very delusional one at that. Jagdeo said we will bring in 520 million a year. So far, two years we are still to get a tenth of that and no more is in the pipeline after the 200 million promised by the one biter, the Norwegians, is over.

 

The idea of LCDS is brazenly delusional.It sells a lie. In our world and  in our times there is no interest in trading carbon. Further, the hypocrisy of this scheme is seen in our constant hope that we will be a fossil fuel giant in the future! Can you get the abject ridiculous impact of this picture? Lets get real, can that bull shit and accept the necessity to manage mining and lumber as sustainable resources.

 

 Further, we have not introduced any legislation to reduce carbon in our own space to change the culture of our nasty people. We, import over 1000 non regulated carbon emitting cars with last decade technology, strew plastic and Styrofoam everywhere and constantly are inundated in our own refuse.

 

Look at our closely house lot give away schemes. All are supposed to have their own open pit latrine technology on flood plains that flood twice  a year. That is twice a year that our poor people will have to live in a fecal soup!

 As noted, you out do your capacity for dull, insipid colloquy with each post. One can plum the depths of your pond like shallowness easily but the vastness of its scope surpasses even the wildest of imaginings.

LCDS is just the new version of the same old Commonwealth game: "You stay backward and don't use your own raw materials, and we will give you aid. Not very much aid, just enough to keep your people from going all revolutionary on us. And you can gradually sell us your raw materials at a price you won't like, because we know best. Or if you prefer, we will declare you a rogue state with horrible human rights abuses, make a few calls to the U.S., and it will be time for Regime Change." They were doing this long before they decided to claim that human activity was changing the climate. I don't know whether Donald believes the climate change crap, or whether he's just playing the game to get the aid. But he is likely to get a much better deal from the Chinese, who offer actual development in exchange for raw materials.

President Ramotar needs to keep ALL options open. Guyana is willing to work with the wider World to tackle Global Warming BUT cannot and will NOT wait much longer for the West to deliver. If they are not serious then Guyana will have no option but exploit it's Natural Resources for the benefits of it's Citizens.

To work on global warming does not require the west to deliver anything. It simply means doing the right thing and contribute to the process since it is the ecological religious thing to do. There are no localizing the effects of global warming. Further, cutting down our forests as a means to bootstrap the economy is a fools method. The forests are worth more if kept intact. It preserves our native species, regulates our rainfall and keep us from being a denuded, washed out wasteland as Haiti. It is the only thing we have over them by the way since we seem to be equally prodigious at producing corrupt  politicians and aim at development through the begging bowl.

 Western states have done many things to advance the cause to conserve the liberation of sequestered carbon. Even China is on its way to reverse its long standing unregulated environmental policies given they are experiencing the negative effects of that policy. You are too dense to grasp the wealth of the forests to us in its pristine state.

 

It is not merely about getting some short term cash but the long term protections the forest have for us with respect to abundant freshwater and water conservation. We need the forest as we happen to be on the other side of the Amazon water shed and our forest is a niche ecology that is fragile since we do not have much of a buffer.

 

We screw it up and the water run off down the watershed will easily turn our nation into a wasteland. Dont take my word for it, look at it yourself. The irene is the only river flowing south into Amazonia. All others are to the north clearly indicating our special niche ecological status.
