Technology Needs Assessment and Technology Action Plans for Climate Change Mitigation, 2014 (Sri Lanka)

The Technology Needs Assessment and Technology Action Plans for Climate Change Mitigation of Sri Lanka briefly describe the Technology Needs Assessment (TNA), Barrier Analysis and Enabling Framework (BA&EF) and Technology Action Plans (TAPs) for climate change mitigation in Sri Lanka. Actions leading to these outputs were undertaken between June 2011 and September 2012 under the project on Technology Needs Assessment. The focus of the assessment has been on technologies that support Sri Lanka's economic development priorities in a sustainable manner, in line with the National Development Policy Framework of Sri Lanka (“Mahinda Chintana: Idiri Dakma”–Vision for a New Sri Lanka, 2010). The main objective of the Climate Change Technology Needs Assessment for Mitigation is to identify and assess environmentally sound technologies that have synergy between reducing the impact of climate change and the rate of greenhouse gas emissions in Sri Lanka within the national development objectives. The process of conducting the TNA was initiated by the Ministry of Environment and Renewable Energy through with establishment of a National TNA Committee which mandated the Project Coordinator, National Consultants and Sectoral Stakeholder Working Groups to manage the process.
