The purpose of the visit was to highlight to the Commissioner and his officials the rich history of T&T and India's connection through the Indian Indentureship Programme, which has been preserved by the National Trust in collaboration with the National Archives at the island. As the delegation viewed the relics of Marion Hospital, the registration documents of the immigrants, photos and other artifacts, they were absolutely astonished of the significant role Nelson Island played in Indian Indentureship, not only in Trinidad and Tobago but Guyana and Suriname as well.

"What to expect in Trinidad and Tobago's greenhouse gas plan"
Last week, the Ministry of Planning unveiled the results of the National Climate Mitigation, Reporting and Verification System (MRV).
It was a presentation of a new standard monitoring and evaluation system – the first of its kind in the region – to help create a template for reporting agencies and regulators to better assess the country’s ability to achieve its GHG reduction targets.
This template is an important stepping stone on the path to climate change mitigation and the country’s nationally determined commitments (NDCs) to the Paris Agreement on climate change.
