The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Secretariat will conduct a Training Workshop for new environmental negotiators in Georgetown, Guyana from November 10-12.
The training will equip regional environmental negotiators who have just entered the field to conduct climate change negotiations.
The training is designed to boost the environmental negotiating capacities of CARICOM Member States as well as to outfit the region with a group of negotiators to articulate effectively the region’s positions on a range of environmental issues in international fora.
Guyana’s President Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo, who was awarded champion of the Earth by the United Nations Environmental Programme, has been campaigning for preserving the country’s maiden forest to reduce the effects of climate change.
