THE ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGESTHE ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES Vulnerability of Guyana’s Physical, Social and
Economic Infra-structure The legacy of colonial infra-structure on the coast and
the vulnerabilities to climate related phenomena – floods, coastal erosion, salt water intrusion, and siltation, require costly budgetary allocations but the situation may prove to be untenable in the long run so strategic decisions have to be made:
• to secure the safety of the coastal population, and • to diversify the economy to reduce dependence on
coastal assets and rely more on hinterland and regional opportunities

THE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIESTHE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES Loss of preferential markets, un-competitiveness of agricultural
exports because of high subsidies paid to farmers in traditional markets of the developed countries, and the high cost of production because of imported fossil fuels , are disincentives to continue trade and production strategy as per ‘business as usual’. Guyana’s opportunities lie in pursuing :
• the options of securing benefits for stewardship of its forests, through REDD+ incentives, payment for eco-system services, and pursuing a low carbon development strategy
• Evolving regional and hemispheric and international markets for food, raw materials from mineral resources, and petroleum products
• Transportation infra-structure to support the movement of people, goods and services as Guyana has potential to evolve into a regional transportation hub

•The option of securing benefits for its stewardship of its forests, by pursuing REDD+ incentives and payment for ecosystem services. Already Guyana has an agreement with the Kingdom of Norway where it is receiving payments on an annual basis for maintaining agreed benchmarks in avoided deforestation and degradation. • The moneys accruing from this Agreement are allocated to strategic projects such as hydropower development; procurement and allocation of photovoltaic lighting facilities for un-served communities in the hinterland; providing high speed connectivity to enhance the delivery of government services throughout the country; and in providing access to information technology through the provision of a one laptop per family project, targeting low - income and hinterland communities .

THE OPPORTUNITIES:THE OPPORTUNITIES: THE MINING AND THE MINING AND PETROLEUM SECTORPETROLEUM SECTOR•The Demand for Gold, Bauxite, Manganese, Copper and other metals and Rare Earths is increasing and Guyana has had a continuing stream of foreign investors interested in exploration permits and in establishing partnerships with local miners who have been mining surface or artesian gold and who are interested in the partnership arrangements because they lack the capital and technology to do deep or underground mining. •These partnerships are also likely to be catalysts for hydropower development on the run-of the river model, to provide power for their operations while providing electricity for nearby communities. The development of roads, river landings, airstrips will also be facilitated, Active drilling for petroleum offshore is also taking place and there is optimism about a discovery.

CONCLUSIONCONCLUSIONOPPORTUNITIES TO BE EXPLOITED IN CREATIVE WAYSOPPORTUNITIES TO BE EXPLOITED IN CREATIVE WAYS
Guyana’s economic development strategy can be based on a transition to a green economy :• through agricultural growth in response to food security and commercial opportunities
within the Caribbean Region and northern South America • revenues from stewardship of forests and ecosystems• Increasing movement of goods and services and people to Guyana ,based on trade and
investment opportunities, and those transiting Guyana en route to the Atlantic and bordering States
• Cultural, heritage and nature tourism• Reducing dependence on fossil fuels by developing and utilising micro run of the river
hydropower facilities for communities and environmentally sound mini and medium scale hydropower for industrial development and the national grid
• Revenues from responsible mineral and oil & gas exploitation with stringent environmental safety benchmarks , remediation and value-added earnings from processing.
• Integrated planning, good communication and inclusive consultations• Good governance --- putting Guyana First!
