The seas surrounding Guyana are under threat by big oil companies. We believe that the Government of Guyana is putting the natural world and our common home in danger. Our legal cases will help protect the ocean, biodiversity and the global climate system for the benefit of each one of us. The legal cases will challenge government and oil companies to get A Fair Deal for Guyana and A Fair Deal for the Planet.

The Stabroek oil concession
Who we are
‘A Fair Deal for Guyana – Fair Deal for the Planet’ is a campaign by concerned citizens from Guyana and around the world.
The case
The Government has granted a petroleum production licence to three oil companies. Only one company has been issued with a permit by the Environmental Protection Agency. We believe this puts Guyana at risk.
We argue that the minister has acted unlawfully and irrationally in granting the licence and that his decision should be quashed by the court.
Attorney-at-Law Melinda Janki says: “There are clear grounds for saying that the minister has acted illegally. This case is the first step to protect Guyana from a potentially damaging oil deal.”
