Norway puts brakes on climate aid to Guyana amid post-election chaos

In response to the volatile political situation in Guyana following the presidential election March 2, Norway has blocked NOK 393 million in climate aid. “No further decisions will be made on … planning or spending” of this money until a legitimate government is in place, the Climate Ministry in Oslo tells Development Today. In total, Guyana has yet to receive NOK 1 billion in climate aid committed by Norway 11 years ago.
