Haiti - Environment : Reforestation, desertification and pollution on the agenda of Haiti at the Summit of Guyana
Junior Cenanfils Adviser to the Minister of the Environment and Eder Audate, Director of Forestry and Renewable Energies of the Ministry of the Environment, participates from 13 to 21 October 2018 at the High Level Summit of the "Partnership Initiative Sustainable Land Management" (PISLM), which is held in the Cooperative Republic of Guyana.
The PISLM Initiative, developed as part of the Caribbean Small States in Development (PEID) technical program, aims to provide a framework to assist the countries concerned in implementing the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification and Drought. It also intends to take into account the management component of the Barbados Program of Action and the Caribbean PEID Strategy.
One of the important bodies of this Summit is the high-level meeting of Caribbean Ministers responsible for the implementation of the Convention, which meets at least once every two years to evaluate the work done and to establish a framework agenda for the next two years.
During his participation, the Haitian representatives will insist on the parties, on the need to develop a common position of the Caribbean PEID.
Haiti's position is also expressed through the Haitian Government's clear commitment to make reforestation a national priority. Haiti, through its representative will renew its determination to assume its responsibility in the fight against desertification and environmental pollution, a fight both regional and global, which is part of the dynamics of sustainable management of our planet.
