Time for 'new world coalition' No.106995
–– to bring balance to global debate on serious issues affecting developing countries, President Ali says
PRESIDENT, Dr Irfaan Ali has said now is an opportune time for a “new world coalition” to bring balance to the international debate around the issue of climate change, food security, and energy security. The Head of State, who delivered the feature address at the opening of the In-
ternational Energy Conference and Expo Guyana 2023 at the Marriott Hotel, highlighted inequalities that hinder the growth of developing nations and the double standards that exist. These challenges, the President stressed, should not be confronted in isolation.
“How can we lead a new world effort in building a coalition that addresses these three challenges that the world we live in will face, is facing, and will face in a more severe manner?” the President questioned. He urged the audience to consider the realistic positioning of issues as it relates
to global CO2 emissions based on data which shows that South America, Central America and the Caribbean combined, account for just 3.6 per cent of emissions.
