St George’s University joins the Global Biodiversity Alliance

St George’s University is now officially a member of the Global Biodiversity Alliance (GBA).

Today, President Dr Irfaan Ali presented the certificate of membership to the University’s President, Dr Marios Loukas, during a simple ceremony at State House.

With this step, the University joins a growing network of more than 120 member organisations and countries, including Germany and the United Nations, whose membership was recently accepted.

“I thank the University for its commitment and interest. By joining, it is taking an important step toward advancing a shared global mission,” President Ali said.

St George’s University is a private for-profit medical school and international university in Grenada.

The Global Biodiversity Alliance builds on Guyana’s pioneering Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS) and its globally recognised forest climate services model, which has demonstrated that standing forests can generate value while supporting livelihoods and national development.

The Global Biodiversity Alliance complements international efforts under the Convention on Biological Diversity and aligns with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. It seeks to raise global awareness of the biodiversity crisis, expand financing options, and promote collaborative action among countries, development partners, and the private sector.
