Luftqualität, Grünflächen und Nachhaltigkeitspolitik in Suriname

Die Übersetzung dieses Leitfadens ins Deutsche ist im Gange – das dauert in der Regel 5–10 Minuten. Bis dahin wird der englische Originaltext angezeigt.
Suriname maintains significant forest coverage with active monitoring of deforestation alerts. The country is implementing renewable energy initiatives targeting solar electrification of over 200 interior villages (2020-2025). Climate change poses environmental and social challenges, addressed through national climate strategies and international commitments. Limited air quality and recycling data available.

Luftqualitätsindex

Gut
7.0/10
Stabil trend

Air quality data unavailable in current database (AQI: N/A, stable trend). Suriname's low industrialization suggests generally good air quality, though urban areas may experience localized pollution.

Wasserqualität

Mäßig
6.5/10

Water quality data limited. Suriname's abundant freshwater resources from rivers and rainfall support generally good water availability, though coastal and mining areas face contamination risks requiring treatment.

Treatment recommended in mining and industrial areas

Recyclingsystem

Recycling infrastructure data unavailable (rate: N/A%). Waste management challenges exist in urban areas, with informal recycling systems operating alongside formal municipal collection.

Grünflächen

Suriname retains approximately 93% forest coverage. Global Forest Watch reported 3,958 disturbance alerts (49 ha total) between Jan 8-15, 2026, with 1.0% high-priority. Active forest monitoring systems operational.

Naturkatastrophenrisiko

MODERATE

Suriname faces flood risks from heavy rainfall and coastal sea level rise threats. Climate change exacerbates infrastructure vulnerability and social equity challenges.
