Guyana is a former British colony located between Brazil, Venezuela and Suriname.

The country is rich in biodiversity - as well as minerals. And in the last decade, some 11 billion barrels of oil have been found - which is the most significant discovery of its kind in recent years.

But as the world is moving towards greener economies, is it fair for countries like Guyana - struggling to overcome poverty and attract foreign investment - not to benefit from its newly-found riches?

Guyanese President Irfaan Ali talks to Al Jazeera.
