We met with Mr Rohitha Uduwawala Secretary, Ministry of environment, Sri Lanka to discuss the potential input of the private sector in updating Sri Lanka’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC 3.0). NDCs are climate action strategies developed by individual countries as part of their commitments under the Paris Agreement. These plans detail how each country intends to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to help limit temperatures to the global target of 1.5°C, and address climate change challenges through adaptation measures. #ceylonchamber #NDC #ParisAgreement #greenhousegas
