| The national climate change policy of Sri Lanka |
| The most demanding challenge for the developing countries today is to develop their economies to provide a better quality of life taking into consideration the shrinking environmental space.Sri Lanka has to address these challenges considering the need for increasing investment for environment friendly infrastructure development, increased volatility to energy markets, problems related to food security, trade, commerce and industrial development together with the climate change challenges. In this context, the National Climate Change Policy of Sri Lanka has been developed to provide guidance and directions for all the stakeholders to address the adverse impacts of climate change efficiently and effectively.
The National Climate Change Policy contains a vision, mission, goal and a set of guiding principles followed by broad policy statements under Vulnerability, Adaptation, Mitigation,Sustainable Consumption and Production, Knowledge Management and General Statements.Collaborative action at all levels is necessary to transform this policy into meaningful set of actions to meet the challenges of climate change. |
