Suriname has claimed a net-negative carbon economy since at least 2014. [4] This is in large part because dense forests cover over 93% of the country. [6] Most of the rainforest is still in pristine condition, [7] however it is being threatened by gold mining [8] and logging companies. [9] Agriculture contributes 40% of the country's emissions. [5]
Plants and animals, such as the love-vine (lenkiwisi) ( Cassytha filiformis), sundews (Drosera sp.), sabana-fungu (Licaniai acana), tortoises (Chelonodis sp.), snakes, iguanas, deer and the long-nosed or naked- tailed armadillo (Dasypus sp.) grow and live in the savannabelt of Suriname.

Agriculture in Suriname is the third largest industry in Suriname, in the economy, [1] employing between 9-15% percent of the workforce, and account for 9% of GDP. [1] Agriculture accounts for 40% of carbon emissions in Suriname , [ 2 ] and is an important part of Suriname's policies as part of its Nationally Determined Contributions .
Climate change in both Suriname and the wider world is leading to hotter temperatures and more extreme weather. As a fairly poor country, its contributions to global climate change have been limited. Suriname has a large forest cover, the country has been running a carbon negative economy since 2014. [2]
Animal agriculture contributes to global warming, which leads to ocean acidification. This occurs because as carbon emissions increase, a chemical reaction occurs between carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and ocean water, causing seawater acidification. [182] The process is also known as the dissolution of inorganic carbon in seawater. [183]
The effects of climate change on plant biodiversity can be predicted by using various models, for example bioclimatic models. [5] [6] Habitats may change due to climate change. This can cause non-native plants and pests to impact native vegetation diversity. [7] Therefore, the native vegetation may become more vulnerable to damage. [8]
