King Charles’ climate leadership helped shape Guyana’s global forest agenda – Pres Ali

President Dr Irfaan Ali has praised King Charles III for his longstanding relationship with Guyana and his contributions to tropical forest conservation, climate action and sustainable development, ahead of the British monarch’s visit next week.

In an interview with Robert Moore of ITV News, the United Kingdom’s main commercial news network, the President highlighted the King’s longstanding association with Guyana, particularly his role in championing tropical forests, promoting opportunities for Indigenous peoples, and advocating for greater recognition of the value of forests in addressing climate change.

Ali noted that the King’s association with Guyana included his patronage of the Iwokrama Rainforest Conservation Area and his efforts to raise international awareness of the importance of tropical forests in addressing climate change.
