According to the Deputy Minister of Mahaweli Development and Environment Anuradha Jayarathne, special attention will be focused on Power, transport, industry, garbage management, and air emission when the new programs are planned for the above purpose.

Deputy Minister was addressing a discussion at the Sri Lanka Mahaweli Authority auditorium recently to determine the local contribution for the Global Climate Change.

President Maithripala Sirisena in April this year signed a United Nation’s agreement on climate change. It has recommended to Sri Lanka to present its future plans before September. These plans will be included in the PPP assistance.

In accordance with President Sirisena’s view, these plans will be implemented through the Provincial Councils and Local Government authorities.
