It noted that the world was calling for limiting the use of fossil fuels, and wondered where solidarity should come from to help a country that needed such income from oil exploitation in order to find an alternative solution. It also commended the plans for constitutional reform and called upon Guyana to uphold the right to life and not include the death penalty in the new Constitution. It also recommended that Guyana ratify Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, therefore showing its commitment to preserve life. 4.

In its concluding remarks, the delegation stated that Guyana had made significant efforts to meet most of the commitments it had made despite the many challenges faced, including unpredictable weather patterns caused by climate change, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the imposition of a policy of “graduation” which would see the country losing access to concessionary financing.
