This policy review initially assesses what the level of traditional knowledge and Indigenous people’s rights integration was in Guyana up to 2017.

A PROJECT COBRA REPORT FOR POLICY MAKERS
This report centres on the use of scenarios in a cross-scalar analysis to help build shared understandings of potential futures. Scenarios can be used to compare the current state of a system with a number of prospective futures and provide a way for communities and other stakeholders to see how different interventions or activities may impact on people and the environment. Within the COBRA project, scenarios allow for the comparison of a wide range of international, national and local futures with a range of existing and emerging community- owned solutions.
