Suriname is a Carbon Negative Country
More than 90 per cent of Suriname’s territory is covered with forests. This annually absorbs 8.8 million tons of carbon, while providing annual emissions of 7 million tons of carbon
This qualifies Suriname as a carbon-negative economy or country.

Paradoxically, Suriname has become a vulnerable country as a result of climate change. Rising sea levels may damage or destroy its coastal ecosystems, including arable land, erode gross domestic product (GDP), and damage or destroy the homes of more than 80 per cent of the population.
Changes in rainfall patterns and rising temperatures may lead to an increase in health risks, a decrease in hydropower production, and a reduction in access to river pathways.
Therefore, Suriname has set a path to an all-green economy. Every investor, entrepreneur, or student who wants to start, invest in, or study sustainable and fair companies is welcome.
One of the goals of Suriname is to become one of the first countries with an all-green car capital, banning all fossil fuel car engines in the capital.
