Guyana’s Ambassador to the European Union, Dr. Patrick Gomes, has told a conference in Brussels that Guyana faces “great risk” because of global climate change and hence the country is looking for financing to fund adaptation measures at the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen.Speaking at the “Adapting to climate change” conference in Brussels, Dr. Gomes spelled out the implications of climate change for Guyana.“Some 90 per cent of our country is low-lying coastline which is where much of the population reside. So, clearly, we are exposed to great risk of the likely results of climate change, such as rising tides.”Regarding next month’s climate change conference, Ambassador Gomes said Guyana is looking for Copenhagen to reach agreement on financing adaptation measures.“It is all about acting early and in a timely and focused manner,” he said. The European Policy Centre event was told that the financial implications of helping poorer nations adapt to global warming will be “huge.”But Hans Martens,Nike Just Do It Scarpe Bianche, EPC chief executive who chaired the meeting, said, “If we act early we can deal with the problem in a more cost-effective way than having to pick up the pieces after a natural disaster, such as floods, happens.”He was responding to the results of a study that shows that climate change could cost developing countries up to 12 per cent of their gross domestic product (GDP) by 2030.A report by the Economics of Climate Adaptation Working group, circulated at the conference, also indicates that climate change could cost rich nations up to 19 per cent of their GDP.Reto Schnarwiler, head of public sector at Swiss Re, said, “these are quite meaningful figures and, of course, it is the developing countries which are most vulnerable.”He added, “The impact of climate change on the GDP of developing countries will vary widely as will the implications of global warming for these nations.”He said that adaptation measures for developing countries include the construction of new dams and reservoirs and new irrigation systems. “The cost will be huge and that is one reason why we still need to look at new technologies and other solutions.”He also warned that helping poor countries adapt to climate change “should not be seen as a substitute” to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. EU member states have agreed to help meet the cost of adaptation measures but have, to date, not specified how much they are willing to commit.
