Dr. Ivelaw Lloyd Griffith is pleased to announce the official Book Launch Forum for his latest publication, Oil and Climate Change in Guyana’s Wet Neighbourhood: Probing Promise and Potential Peril. This timely forum will bring together leading scholars and policy experts to examine the complex intersection of oil production, climate vulnerability, and sustainable development in Guyana and the wider Caribbean. The discussion will explore both the transformative economic promise of oil and the environmental and governance risks that accompany it—particularly for low-lying, climate-sensitive states.
