Скачать или смотреть GENDER RESPONSIVE CLIMATE SECURITY ASSESSMENT FOR SRI LANKA (Sinhala)

Climate change in Sri Lanka is no longer an abstract threat but a daily reality, reshaping lives, deepening inequalities, and testing the resilience of communities still healing from decades of conflict. Yet, Sri Lanka
stands uniquely poised to chart a different path—one that combines strong human development gains and low carbon emissions with an innovative, gender-responsive vision for climate security. This report offers precisely that: a roadmap for ensuring that mitigation and adaptation efforts reinforce social cohesion, empower every individual, and sustain the fragile peace that has taken generations to build.

This assessment is the first-of-its-kind in Sri Lanka to integrate an intersectional, gender lens with the twin imperatives of climate resilience and peacebuilding. By examining how gender roles, norms, and identities intersect with ethnicity, age, disability, religion and location, the analysis reveals the hidden fault lines along which climate risks and social vulnerabilities align. These insights pave the way for policies that repair social rifts rather than deepen them.
