Influencing climate change policy in Sri Lanka
Abstract
A partnership between IWMI and Sri Lankan 바카라 사이트 agencies dates back to a national 바카라 사이트˜Water for Food바카라 사이트™ conference in 2009. After presenting research on the impacts of climate change on water resources and agriculture in Sri Lanka, the Institute was invited to attend workshops organised by the Ministry of Environment, provide information and comment on draft government reports. Through this collaboration, IWMI has made a significant contribution to the development of Sri Lanka바카라 사이트™s climate change adaptation policies. IWMI research findings have been incorporated in the country바카라 사이트™s Climate Change Adaptation Strategy 2011-2016 and Sri Lanka바카라 사이트™s Second National Communication on Climate Change, which was submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2011. IWMI바카라 사이트™s findings are being used in a number of new projects, including a 2012 UNDP initiative aimed at building climate resilient activities into national household food security improvement and rural infrastructure programmes.
