Guyana Permanent Mission to the UN in New York

The Permanent Mission of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana to the United Nations represents Guyana at the UN General Assembly and across UN agencies. Guyana, as a CARICOM member and one of the founding members of the Group of 77, is active in multilateral diplomacy on climate change, sustainable development, and small-state sovereignty. The country's Amazon rainforest — covering over 80% of its territory — positions Guyana as a key voice in global climate and biodiversity negotiations. The mission also coordinates with the International Court of Justice regarding the longstanding territorial dispute with Venezuela over the Essequibo region.
