Former President of Guyana Bharrat Jagdeo last Wednesday received the honorary doctorate conferred upon him by Trent University, his fifth such honour in recent years. Trent University, with a world-class reputation in environmental and resource sciences, water science and biomaterials, conferred the honour on Jagdeo in recognition of his global advocacy for averted climate change through avoided deforestation, by linking economic development in forested countries to carbon sequestration, ecosystem services and preservation of biodiversity.
