Suriname's second NDC states that "Suriname's forests act as a carbon sink of global significance, making it a carbon-negative country." President Santhoki also referred to Suriname as a carbon negative country at the COP26 in Glasgow 

The country's most recent GHG Inventory data is from 2008. The 2nd National Communication (2016) and the 2nd NDC (2020) both use this data, but provide different data points. It is not possible to verify whether Suriname is indeed a carbon negative country.
