Transforming Guyana's Economy While Combating Climate Change A LOW-CARBON DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY PRESIDENT JAGDEO TO LAUNCH LOW DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY Transforming Guyana’s Economy While Combating Climate Change DRAFT REPORT REGIONS 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 SUB NATIONAL CONSULTATIONS 19th June – 15th July, 2009 Introduction At the launch of the Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS), on Monday 8th June, 2009, details of the consultation process were communicated to all stakeholders and a timeline of June to September, 2009 was outlined for this purpose. The future development of the LCDS was outlined with a clear, inclusive and transparent approach taken to sub-national consultations aimed at sensitizing the nation on the various aspects, implications and requirements of the Strategy and to receive feedback. At the outset it was outlined that the long term success of the Low Carbon Development Strategy is dependent on the broad based, inclusive domestic support. Implementing the LCDS represents a transformation of Guyana’s economy and, therefore, receiving support for the LCDS from the people of Guyana and their representatives is planned to be done at a pace which enables the commitment of Guyana’s international partners to be made visible to the people of Guyana and, in turn, to allow Guyana to demonstrate its commitment to international partners. Guyana’s Amerindians have jurisdiction over the forest in all their own titled lands. As such, the current form of the Strategy only includes Guyana’s State Forest Estate, and excludes forest lands under Amerindian jurisdiction. This is in accordance with the Government’s commitment to only include lands under Amerindian jurisdiction after communities have engaged in appropriate consultation to decide whether they wish their lands to be included. In accordance with the Amerindian Act and international norms, a series of consultations have been planned to enable the participation of communities. The second round of these consultations was held in various Regions across Guyana. The second session targeted the participation of Regions: One - Mabaruma, Port Kaituma and Santa Rosa Two - Anna Regina Six - Port Mourant Seven - Kamarang and Bartica Eight - Kato and Mahdia Nine - Annai, St. Ignatius and Aishalton Ten - Hururu, Muritaro and Linden The consultation sessions brought together stakeholders from a number of communities, including Toshaos, Senior Counsels, loggers, miners and residents. As part of the general programme, there was a discussion session where participants had an opportunity to listen to a simplified overview of the strategy, interaction and feedback by participants. This report captures the discussion of the sessions, the key issues identified and suggestions and recommendations emanating from the discussions. The consultation session brought together stakeholders from a number of communities, including Toshaos, Senior Counsels, and residents.

Main Issues General Views In general at all consultations, persons who spoke were in support of the LCDS. Several Toshau’s indicated that they will go back to their communities to discuss the LCDS further before arriving at a decision. Some Toshaos were pleased that the developing world has finally recognised the importance of the rainforest in combating climate change. Comments and Key Questions 1. Support was expressed for the LCDS and the initiative undertaken by the Government 2. It was asked why the LCDS has not been circulated before the Consultation? 3. Concern was raised that no one on head table mentioned mining in their presentations 4. It was suggested that the LCDS needs to be studied before the participants are adequately consulted 5. It was asked how an ordinary man can get involved in large scale agriculture without financing. It was suggested that a fund be developed to assist famers 6. It was suggested that Ambassadors and Councils residing in other countries inform the community where they are located on the LCDS. 7. Concern was expressed towards systems being in place after mining for replanting in the mined out areas 8. It was asked how will the implementation of the LCDS occur 9. Will Amerindian communities benefit more if they opt in than those who do not opt in? 10. Would Guyana’s contribution to climate change make any significant impact in 2025? Will it reverse climate change? 11. Guyana’s forest is underutilised with visible evidence of the canopy being intact 12. Mining is the only thing that damages the forest but what will happen to our miners if we stop mining in Guyana 13. What effects will the strategy have on Amerindian land extensions and demarcation? 14. How will the strategy affect communities who are interested in obtaining State Forest Permissions (SFP) 15. Indigenous people need more time and further consultations for any questions or comments that may arise while examining the document 16. Concerns was expressed why the LCDS process started so late since the UNFCCC declared World Environmental Day in 1975 17. It was stated that mining is not properly done in Guyana hence the numerous incidence of malaria. There is no policy for mining practices 18. What is Guyana’s strategy for reduction of Carbon emissions? We should be involved in hydro, wind and solar technology for electricity. 19. It was asked what guarantees do we have that other countries will buy into the strategy 20. Should the Strategy succeeds will the price of foreign products increase? 21. Large logging companies are destroying the forest. 22. What about the polluters up north – will they be allowed to pollute while we have to adapt and mitigate? 23. Mining contributes to the GDP and Treasury. Mining contributes to the development of Guyana and should not compromise with this strategy 24. Concern was raised that slash and burn is a traditional activity for subsistence farming. Should the Amerindians have to stop this practice what are alternative techniques that can be used? 25. Some of the main drivers of deforestation are agriculture, mining and the development of roads. Forestry plays a very small role in deforestation. 26. Ethanol production is contributing negatively to the environment 27. There are not enough funds to develop agriculture in the savannahs. 28. Who gets the money from the carbon credits? While it is noted that funds received from credits will go to the country, it is not going directly to persons who are helping to reduce deforestation. 29. Explain ‘carbon sale’. 30. A high number of forestry activities would have to stop due to the LCDS. How will funds be provided to support persons that have to stop? 31. Explain carbon market 32. The presentations made make loggers feel guilty for being the major contributors to climate change. Approximately 17% of emissions results from deforestation. Guyana contributes minimally to this problem. 33. When will the Carbon markets start? 34. When carbon money comes into the country, who will monitor how the money is spent and how will we ensure that money provided does not go directly to Government contracts? The way in which the money is spent needs to be monitored carefully. A monitoring system should be set up to ensure funds are spent properly. 35. While it is acknowledged that the LCDS will not affect job opportunities for miners, it will require adjustments for activities to be carried out in a sustainable manner. 36. How many trees will be equivalent to one (1) tonne of Carbon and how do we evaluate the amount of carbon in the forest? 37. Would Sand Hill and other communities that have not received titles also benefit from the strategy? 38. What is the role of students in the LCDS? Young people should not be left out. 39. Students especially in the riverain are not constantly exposed to internet and other media sources like students on the coast. Therefore, a national seminar for young people and teachers should be organized? 40. What is the role of the monitor (Jocelyn Dow) 41. Are there other monitors? 42. What will happen to large foreign logging companies that are in Guyana and those that plan to come to Guyana? What are their roles in future development? 43. What mechanisms are in place to assist persons who are economically challenged to participate in and benefit from the LCDS? 44.

    Forest Carbon Partnership Facility Guyana ER-PIN Guyana’s Emission Reduction Programme for Sustainable Forest Management Thirteenth Meeting of the Carbon Fund (CF13) Brussels October 13-16, 2015 Guyana ER-PIN ER Program Idea Background/Context • Guyana is a REDD+ country with a low rate of deforestation and forest degradation. Even with a low rate of deforestation and forest degradation there have been drivers of forest change that are impacting on forest cover, and specific drivers of which have shown increases over the past 4 years. • Guyana’s Emission Reduction Program Idea Note (ERPIN) proposes to maintain a low rate of forest change and at the same time, lower emissions where possible where such reductions can be attained through improved practices and enhanced efficiencies. • The proposed nation-wide ER-Program intends to avoid 27.98 MtCO2e/year from 2018 to 2025 through implementing activities and interventions preliminarily selected based on the impacts of the drivers defined by Guyana’s Measurement Reporting Verification System (MRVS). ER Programme lifetime is for 10 years, with ERs offered to Carbon Fund up to 2025. • From the results of the MRVS, it is clear that mining, and associated roads, is the largest emission source during the period 2001 to 2012, followed by timber harvesting activities. National policies and interventions within the ER Programme have been tailored to address these. • The general objective of the program is to promote sustainable natural resources and environmental management by facilitating coordinated remedial land reclamation interventions, aimed towards managing and combatting land and forest degradation from the activities within Guyana`s extractive sectors.
