The government has emphasized the need for sustainable, resilient development, launching a Vision for a Sustainability Era initiative as part of its Sri Lanka 2030 goals, which seeks to tailor the UN Sustainable Development Goals to local needs and constraints. Sri Lanka’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to the Paris Agreement comprises four areas, mitigation; adaptation; loss and damage from extreme weather events; and implementation. In addition, the government introduced a ‘blue-green era’ development strategy in 2016 to sustainably develop its marine resources and green its growth. Sri Lanka’s Vision 2025, which outlines the government’s plans for the economy to achieve upper middle-income status, signals its intention to empower the private sector and attract domestic and foreign investment and aims to establish economic corridors, meet the demand for urban housing, and improve the public transport system by encouraging public private partnerships (PPPs). The government is implementing several reforms to encourage transparency and competitiveness for private sector-driven growth.  Ver menos -
