This , the Global Biodiversity Alliance recognises the Indigenous Peoples helping to shape a conservation future for one of Guyana’s most important connected landscapes.

In the Acarai-Rupununi Corridor, conservation is shaped both by science and generations of Indigenous knowledge.

For the Waiwai, Wapishana, Trio and Macushi peoples, rivers, trails and forests are part of a living network of trade, kinship and shared understanding.

Some of this history is written in stone. Much more lives in the ecological knowledge carried by communities today.

Climate action begins with nature.

Healthy ecosystems store carbon, protect communities, secure food and water, and help people adapt to a changing climate.

UNDP notes that nature-based solutions can provide up to 37% of global climate mitigation needs, yet receive less than 3% of climate finance.

The Global Biodiversity Alliance on joins the call for urgent climate action based in the protection, restoration and sustainable management of nature.

There is no stable climate without a healthy planet.

Guyana is known as the Land of Many Waters and in the Acarai-Rupununi Corridor, those waters begin.

Here, rivers including the Essequibo, Berbice, New and Corentyne flow from a vast, unbroken rainforest that supports extraordinary biodiversity, freshwater systems and communities.

This , the Global Biodiversity Alliance highlights why protecting connected landscapes matters for nature, climate and life itself.

On , the Global Biodiversity Alliance spotlights connectivity in action.

In southern Guyana, the Acarai-Corentyne Corridor stretches across 1.5 million hectares of intact tropical forest, freshwater systems and extraordinary biodiversity.

Connectivity matters here, for wildlife, rivers, communities and the climate future Guyana is building.

President Dr. Irfaan Ali | World Environment Day 2026

On this , the Government of Guyana is pleased to share messages from the founding members of the Global Biodiversity Alliance, an innovative global coalition launched by Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali in Georgetown, Guyana, in July 2025.

As a global pioneer in climate and biodiversity leadership, Guyana has demonstrated that environmental stewardship and economic development can advance hand in hand. Through the country’s visionary Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS) 2030, Guyana continues to lead by example—protecting one of the world’s most intact tropical forests, promoting sustainable and inclusive development, and creating innovative models for valuing ecosystem services and biodiversity.

The establishment of the Global Biodiversity Alliance reflects Guyana’s commitment to elevating biodiversity on the global agenda and fostering international partnerships that support nature-positive development. The messages shared by Alliance members underscore the importance of collective action to conserve biodiversity, strengthen climate resilience, and secure a sustainable future for present and future generations.

On this World Environment Day, Guyana reaffirms its commitment to global environmental leadership and invites all nations, institutions, and citizens to work together in protecting the natural world upon which our prosperity and well-being depend.

This World Environment Day, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres calls for urgent climate action to protect people, nature and future generations.

From record-breaking heat to polluted air, degraded ecosystems and biodiversity loss, the impacts of climate change are already being felt around the world.

The Secretary-General urges governments, businesses and communities to accelerate climate solutions, including cutting emissions, expanding renewable energy, reducing methane pollution, protecting nature and supporting vulnerable communities through climate finance and adaptation.

This is the moment to act, for our environment and for our future.

Financing nature is central to protecting it.

The world spends an estimated US$124–143 billion a year on biodiversity, but the need is US$722–967 billion annually, leaving a major finance gap. At the same time, around US$500 billion still flows to subsidies that harm nature.

The Global Biodiversity Alliance supports the goals of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, including the urgent need to increase financial resources for biodiversity, strengthen partnerships and shift investment towards nature-positive development.

We applaud the work of the Global Environment Facility and UNDP BIOFIN, which has helped catalyse more than US$3.3 billion for nature across 41 countries since 2018. With 91 additional countries set to develop Biodiversity Finance Plans, BIOFIN aims to unlock more than US$10 billion for nature by 2035. This is

Protecting biodiversity requires financial systems that work for nature, not against it.
