Climate Change Adaptation

The 'Climate Change Adaptation' project strengthens livelihoods of communities affected by changing weather patterns. The project operates in both Polonnaruwa and Walapane - two locations that are prone to adverse effects of climate change. The project introduces climate smart and non-chemical agricultural practices for farmers and provides alternate sources of income for those who find it difficult to make their livelihoods sustainable.

The ‘Climate Change Adaptation’ project is implemented by the former Ministry of Mahaweli Development and Environment and the World Food Programme in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme with financial assistance from the Adaptation Fund.
