With the objective of assessing the capacity Guyana’s agriculture sector to plan, design, implement, monitor, and evaluate climate resilient and inclusive recovery processes, the SRCA was implemented in the country’s agriculture sector.

This seismic risk profile of Guyana, produced by the Global Earthquake Model (GEM) Foundation summarizes key metrics of seismic risk, allowing stakeholders in risk management to get an overview of the risk in the country.

A successful 3,5-year project in the Caribbean has demonstrated the benefits of strong collaboration between development agencies and local partner and of better weather, water and climate services to save lives and livelihoods of vulnerable communities.

This study supports the implementation of the Country Work Programme for countris in the Caribbean, as well as the design and revisions of other critical national instruments including the National Adaptation Plan.

This country profile for Guyana provides a summary of available evidence on climate hazards, health vulnerabilities, health impacts and progress to date in health sector efforts to realize a climate-resilient health system.

Located on the South American mainland, Guyana experiences flooding, drought, and wildfires but is not highly exposed to hurricanes, volcanoes, or earthquakes. Guyana has yet to put into full force several pieces of resilience-building legislation.

This profile documents the projected climate impacts in the Eastern and Southern Caribbean (ESC) region. The high vulnerability to climate impacts in the region often drive direct integration of climate risk management into planning processes.

Guyana’s officials moved forward with plans to mitigate future disaster risks by launching a National Disaster Preparedness Baseline Assessment (NDPBA).
