| Sector vulnerability profile: urban development, human settlements and economic infrastructure |
| In 2009, responding to a request from the Government of Sri Lank (GOSL), the Asian Development Bank (ADB) initiated a technical assistance (TA) project titled “Strengthening Capacity for Climate Change Adaptationâ€. The TA was implemented through the Climate Change Secretariat (CCS) of the Ministry of Environment. Working with and through the CCS, the project aimed to increase Sri Lanka’s resilience to climate change impacts, whilst pursuing sustainable economic development and natural environment conservation. It also was expected to stimulate improved effectiveness and better organization of stakeholders to address climate change adaptation in Sri Lanka. The primary goal of the TA was to support the GOSL initiative to adapt key sectors in the economy and safeguard Sri Lanka’s national interest against climate change threats. One of the primary outputs of the TA were Sector Vulnerability Profiles (SVPs) prepared for five key sectors. This is the sector vulnerability profile prepared for urban development, human settlements and economic infrastructure sectors. |
