Georgetown : President Bharrat Jagdeo is optimistic about Guyana maintaining a high level of representation in Durban, South Africa during the Conference of Parties (COP) 17 to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) on November 28 even though acknowledging that national elections will be given a significant degree of attention.
Speaking to members of the media at a press conference yesterday at the Office of the President, Dr. Jagdeo said Donald Ramotar could take on the mantle if elected.
“He (Donald Ramotar) views climate issues as very important and I’m sure that he will pay the highest level politically to this matter,” President Jagdeo said noting that the struggle must continue to maintain the momentum.
At the conclusion of the 16th COP of the UNFCCC in Copenhagen, Denmark, an agreement was signed with a pledge of US$10B for fast start funding per annum.
The pledge was described by President Jagdeo as among the few successful outcomes of the Copenhagen summit.

Clear proof that the elections will be in early December, probably on the 5th.
BHARRAT WILL TAKE EVERY DAY, HOUR AVAILABLE TO HIM TO STAY ON AND PROTECT HIS BACK FROM THE EXPECTED PURSUIT OF THE ILLEGALITIES OF HIS ADMINISTRATION BY THE INCOMING AFC ADMINISTRATION.
