Guyana spent the second day of this year’s global climate talks, COP28, talking about its forests and its plan to keep saving those forests. The country’s President Dr. Irfaan Ali spent all day talking about the country’s Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS) and how he believes it should be a blueprint for the world, or at least the forested countries of the world.

For him, and Vice President Dr. Bharrat Jagdeo, people haven’t been paying enough attention to what Guyana has been doing.
