The framework document for Guyana's development along a ‘green' pathway is intended to provide guidance on the prioritised areas to be developed in the Green State Development Strategy (GSDS). It represents a roadmap for Guyana's development along a reduced emissions pathway and builds on the successes of the Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS) and several other national documents such as the Nationally Determined Contributions, Climate Resilience Strategy Action Plan (CRSAP), Draft National Energy Policy, and National Adaptation Strategy for the Agriculture Sector (2009 -2018). Development of the GSDS will be completed over the course of the next 12-18 months.A Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan was previously proposed in 2015.
