Description
Guyana is a small country in South America that undoubtedly will be greatly transformed by the recent discovery of massive offshore oil reserves. Extremely vulnerable to climate change, with predictions that its capital will be underwater by 2030, Guyana has been known as a green champion, trapping more carbon dioxide than emits.

We discuss these dynamics with Camila Idrovo and Jermaine Grant from the Pan American Development Foundation.
