Suriname is currently in the process of working on its TNA. It has prioritised its key sectors, and work is now underway to determine which technologies to prioritize.
Suriname is located on the northeast coast of South America bordering French Guiana in the east, Brazil in the south, Guyana in the west, and the Atlantic Ocean in the north. 90% of Suriname’s activities and settlements are located in the coastal zone. Inland, the tropical rainforest covers approximately 91% of the total area. The industrial base of Suriname is dominated by the mining and petroleum industries. To a lesser extent, the agricultural and tourism sectors also contribute to the country’s GDP.
Suriname is interested in the TNA process, as there has never been a project focused exclusively on technology before, especially adaptation technology.
