About us

The Green State Development Strategy: Vision 2040 is Guyana’s twenty-year, national development policy that reflects the guiding vision and principles of the ‘green agenda’: “An inclusive and prosperous Guyana that provides a good quality of life for all its citizens based on sound education and social protection, low-carbon and resilient development, providing new economic opportunities, justice and political empowerment.” The central objective is development that provides a better quality of life for all Guyanese derived from the country’s natural wealth – its diversity of people and abundant natural resources (land, water, forests, mineral and aggregates, biodiversity). The Strategy was developed from a multi-layered, nationwide, stakeholder consultation process. The main thrust of governance and institutional reform under the Vision 2040 development agenda rests on the pillars of transparency, participation, the rule of law and strong institutions to manage green growth processes.
