    Between a Promise and a Trench: Citizenship, Vulnerability, and Climate Change in Guyana Sarah E. Vaughn Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Sarah E. Vaughn All rights reserved ABSTRACT Between a Promise and a Trench: Citizenship, Vulnerability, and Climate Change in Guyana Sarah E. Vaughn Between a Promise and a Trench examines how science is constituted as a strategic practice and site through which citizens make claims about racial democracy in Guyana. It shows how government policymaking around climate adaptation--which drew upon the recommendations of outside actors, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the United Nations (UN), and various NGOs and international scientific networks-- profoundly disrupted the country's delicate racial-ethnic balance. A contribution to the burgeoning anthropology on the social and political impact of climate change, the dissertation also speaks to current debates over race and citizenship, the complex relationship between expertise and democracy, and the competing post-colonial claims of Indo-, Afro-, and Amerindian Guyanese to land and self-determination. The dissertation is based on seventeen months of fieldwork and archival research conducted between, 2009-11 in coastal Guyana. It brings together three conflicting perspectives: of engineers, who drew upon datasets and models about flooding and construction of canals around IPCC and UN climate data; the state officials, who sought to reduce vulnerability to flood hazards through land evictions; and of Indo-, Afro-, and Amerindian Guyanese farmers and squatters who were evicted as a result of post-2005 engineering projects.

    Green State Development Strategy: Vision 2040

    Diversified, Resilient, Low-carbon, People-centred VOLUME I POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS, FINANCIAL MECHANISM & IMPLEMENTATION An inclusive and prosperous Guyana that provides a good quality of life for all its citizens “ based on sound education and social protection, low-carbon resilient development, new economic opportunities, justice, and political empowerment. ” Executive Summary Background The Green State Development Strategy: Vision 2040 is Guyana’s twenty-year, national development policy that reflects the guiding vision and principles of the ‘green agenda’: “An inclusive and prosperous Guyana that provides a good quality of life for all its citizens based on sound education and social protection, low-carbon and resilient development, providing new economic opportunities, justice and political empowerment.” The central objective is development that provides a better quality of life for all Guyanese derived from the country’s natural wealth – its diversity of people and abundant natural resources (land, water, forests, mineral and aggregates, biodiversity). The vision of the ‘green agenda’ is centred on principles of a green economy defined by sustainable, low-carbon and resilient development that uses its resources efficiently, and sustained over generations. The development philosophy emphasises the importance of a more cohesive society based on principles of equity and tolerance between ethnic groups – recognising that diversity of culture and heritage is the underlying strength of the country’s human capital. Development objectives therefore seek to improve the health, education and overall well-being of Guyanese citizens, to lift people out of poverty through an economy that generates decent jobs and that provides opportunities for sustaining livelihoods over the long term. For decades, geopolitical events, natural disasters and global commodity price swings have weighed upon Guyana’s development.

    PROCEEDINGS AND DEBATES OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OF THE FIRST SESSION (2006-2011) OF THE NINTH PARLIAMENT OF GUYANA UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OF THE CO-OPERATIVE REPUBLIC OF GUYANA HELD IN THE PARLIAMENT CHAMBER, PUBLIC BUILDINGS, BRICKDAM, GEORGETOWN 148TH Sitting Wednesday, 2ND February, 2011 The Assembly convened at 2.08 p.m. Prayers [Mr. Speaker in the Chair] STATEMENTS BY MINISTERS, INCLUDING POLICY STATEMENTS CLARIFICATION ON COST OF LAPTOP UNDER GOVERNMENT’S (OLFP) PROGRAMME The Minister within the Ministry of Finance [Ms. Webster]: I would like to make the following statement on the One Laptop Per Family Project (OLFP) in view of certain reports carried today by some sections of the media, following yesterday‟s consideration of the 2011 Estimates of Expenditure by the Committee of Supply under agency 01 – Office of the President- Line Item 1212000 – Information and Communication Technology. It would be recalled that a question was asked about the unit cost of the laptops. I now wish to clarify that the Budget assumes a unit cost of $US295 per laptop and not $G295, 000 as was previously stated, inadvertently. I would further be recalled that I elaborated clearly in this House yesterday that the Budget provides a total of $G1.8 billion for the procurement of laptops and that 27,000 laptops will be obtained this year. Simple arithmetic would confirm that this implies an average cost of just over $60,000 per laptop. Contrary to some media reports, the laptops are being procured in accordance with applicable procedures and rules. I wish to further clarify that 1 the sum of $G2.5 billion of specific financing sourced from China is meant to finance the component of the Information Communications and Technology (ICT) Project which pertains to the construction of wireless and terrestrial networking systems from Moleson Creek to Anna Regina.

    Eradicating Poverty and Unifying Guyana

    NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY Eradicating Poverty and Unifying Guyana A Civil Society Document - AN OVERVIEW - I GUYANA - BASIC INFORMATION • Guyana, with an area of 83,000 square miles or 215,000 square kilometres, is located on the northern coast of South America, and is the only English-speaking country on that continent. It is bounded on the north by the Atlantic Ocean, on the east by Surinam, on the south and south-west by Brazil, and on the west and north-west by Venezuela. • Guyana is physically divided into four types of landforms: (i) a flat coastal, clayey belt which is about 4.5 feet below sea level, and in which most of its agricultural activity occurs; (ii) a sand belt, to the south of the coastal belt, which includes the Intermediate Savannas; (iii) an undulating, central peneplain which comprises more than half of the country’s area, and in which are located lush, almost pristine, tropical forests, and extensive mineral deposits. This landform stretches from the sand belt to the country’s southern boundary and encompasses, also, the Rupununi Savannas which border Brazil; and (iv) the highlands which are to be found in the midwestern area. This portion of the Guiana Highlands includes the Pakaraima mountain range. • Guyana has a plentitude of natural resources: fertile agricultural lands on the coastal plain and in the riverain areas; vast areas of tropical hardwood forests of various ecosystems and with a multitude of plant and animal species; abundant fish and shrimping grounds, both in its numerous rivers and in the Atlantic Ocean to its north; and a wide variety of minerals, including gold, diamonds, a range of semi-precious stones, bauxite and manganese.

The implications of the flooding posed the need, beyond the immediate humanitarian response, for a rapid assessment of the damages (impacts of assets) and losses (effects on economic and social flows) to determine at the more general level the implications on macroeconomic and fiscal performance and the social and environmental consequences.1 More specifically, the document examines the effects of the impact for the sustainable livelihood of the affected households and provides possible strategic interventions serving as inputs for the development of programmes and projects to mitigate the impact of flooding on the affected population. The assessment was carried out following the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) disaster assessment methodology as elaborated in the Handbook for Estimating the Socio-economic and Environmental Effects of Disasters (ECLAC, 2004, www.eclac.cl/mexico). The results of the assessment were also interpreted within the context of a sustainable livelihood analysis (SLA) framework. The SLA framework combines the concept of sustainability understood as comprising of four elements (environmental, economic, social and institutional) with that of livelihoods which in turn refer to the capabilities, assets and activities required for a means of living.
