Guyanas green economy | Global Ideas

By Kathleen Tarrance in Green Ecnonomy 1690 views 7th February 2020 Video Duration: 00:06:57
Many countries home to lush rainforests sell off timber to make way for industry, agriculture and mining of natural resources, with the ultimate goal of boosting the country's economic development. But Guyana is choosing to take a different path. It's hoping to jumpstart its economy by conserving its rainforests and getting the international community to pay for the carbon storage that its living forests provide.
