WWF President Pavan Sukhdev pays courtesy call on Minister of State of Guyana

Following the meeting with the President, the team met with Minister of State, Mr. Joseph Harmon at the Ministry of the Presidency. During that meeting, Minister Harmon said that he is happy with Dr. Sukhdev’s visit as his expertise and experience in the environmental field will allow Guyana to benefit significantly, as the country continues to make strides with regard to the pursuit of a ‘green’ state.
Minister Harmon noted that the ‘green’ state must take not only the environment and protection of biodiversity into account but the social, economic and cultural wellbeing of all citizens. It is on this note he said, that the Government of Guyana is committed to working with all stakeholders to ensure that the best course of actions is taken in the pursuit of the ‘green’ state.
During his stay here in Guyana, Dr. Sukhdev will be facilitating several lectures and forums including the “We Own This Thing: Natural Capital in a Resource Rich State” at the Theatre Guild on Thursday, January 11, 2018.
