OAS to Support Climate Compatible Development in Suriname
September 8, 2011
The Assistant Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Ambassador Albert Ramdin, has pledged the Organization’s support for climate compatible development in Suriname.
This pledge followed a meeting this week at OAS Headquarters in Washington, DC, between the high-ranking OAS official and the Executive Director and Representative of the President of the Republic of Suriname on Climate Change, John Goedschalk. Also present at the meeting was the Surinamese Ambassador to the OAS, Subhas Ch. Mungra; Deputy Chief of Mission Michiel Raafenberg; and Director of the OAS Department of Sustainable Development Cletus Springer.
Discussions focused on the vision and strategies being contemplated by the Government of Suriname towards the achievement of climate compatible development.
During the meeting, Ambassador Ramdin commended the decision of the Government of Suriname to create a Climate Compatible Development Agency dedicated to the coordination of national level actions to build Suriname’s resilience to a changing climate.
The meeting ended with an undertaking by Ambassador Ramdin to send an OAS mission to Suriname to conduct a baseline study to guide future interventions in risk management, sustainable energy, water resources management, environmental law, policy, and governance, among other critical areas identified by the Suriname delegation.
