Resumen
Descripción
The Ministry of Environment and Natural
Resources of the Government of Sri Lanka is the apex body
under which all environmental issues and policy matters are
addressed. The Global Affairs Division of the Ministry of
Environment and Natural Resources is tasked with formulating
policy and strategic planning and liaise with the
international organizations dealing with global
environmental issues and is the Designated National
Authority (DNA) for matters arising out of the Kyoto
Protocol. Under the Kyoto protocol, the Clean Development
Mechanism (CDM) provides for Green House Gas (GHG)
mitigation projects that contribute towards sustainable
development in developing nations and the net emission
reductions can be traded to a developed nation to meet its
Kyoto obligations. The report begins with green house effect
with GHG emissions and their contributions to global
warming. To highlight the gravity of the problem various
projections are presented on future climate change, extreme
weather events, sea level rise and their impact on
developing countries. It describes the global initiative to
tackle climate change and specifically details the Kyoto protocol.
