Having successfully prosecuted a war against the most brutal terrorist organization in the world, Sri Lanka is now in a position to fully enjoy our independence 61 years after the dawn of freedom. All our people can now live in peace and understanding, and together work towards forging a bright future for the nation.

While socio-economic development is of utmost importance, it is equally necessary that we protect our natural resources, safeguard the environment and are prudent in the use of the assets that nature has bestowed upon our land. This requires emphasis on sustainable development by the judicious use of resources today which will protect and even enhance them for the future.

Sri Lanka has an impressive record of natural resource management and sustainable use. In facing the major challenges of climate change and protection of the environment, it is necessary to combine the best modern concepts with the tried and tested methods that history has provided us. We should seek a successful blend of the best of modern science and the richness of traditional knowledge.

It is for this purpose that I have established the National Council for Sustainable Development, which functions under my Chairmanship and includes the Ministers in charge of major economic development programmes. This Council is charged with responsibility for producing an integrated policy, and overseeing and guiding the implementation of the Haritha Lanka Programme to ensure the sustainability of social and economic development programmes. I am glad that the National Action Plan for the Haritha Lanka Programme has been presented and look forward to its implementation with the least delay as the Road Map for the sustainable development of Sri Lanka.

Mahinda RajapaksaPresident of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka

Message of H.e. tHe President

........

With human vulnerability to environmental change reaching unprecedented levels, environmental friendly development has now been recognized as the key to the long term sustainability of any economic activity. People’s livelihood, as well as their health and well-being, are inextricably linked to the biological and physical properties and the proper functioning of the natural ecosystems. We in Sri Lanka, have to be especially concerned since our country has been identified as a “biodiversity hotspot” where its many endemic species are subjected to serious threat.

Today, we are confronted with a multiple global crisis situation relating to energy, food, fresh water and finance. It is clear that bail-out plans with injecting of funds to financial institutions that are becoming unstable would not solve the present problem as these institutions have been formed based on the expectation of unlimited growth leading to unsustainable production and consumption practices.

It has become necessary to direct even the short term plans along a path of sustainable economic and social development. It is in this context that the Government has introduced the Haritha Lanka program and established a National Council for Sustainable Development under the leadership of H.E. the President to ensure integration of environmental concerns into the economic and social development processes throughout the country.

The Haritha Lanka Programme of Action was developed through an interactive process involving all the key ministries. Its missions focus on addressing the critical issues that, if left unattended, would frustrate our economic development programmes. Clean air and clean and adequate supplies of water must be available to all. The country’s priceless natural heritage of fauna and flora must not be allowed to get degraded. The cities have to be clean and provide a healthy environment for all the city dwellers. The industries must learn and put into practice measures for preventing environmental pollution. The island’s limited land resources should be used optimally. And the coastal belt, one of the most picturesque parts of the country, requires special attention to ensure that its integrity remains unblemished and that it would continue to serve as a major contributor to the country’s economy. Actions to address these key areas are embodied in the strategies and proposed actions set out under the ten missions of the Haritha Lanka Programme.

I sincerely hope that this National Acton Plan would lay a solid foundation leading to a sustainable future for the present and future generations of our country.

iNtroDuctioN

In the present century, human society, here and elsewhere in the world, faces the daunting, but vital, task of forging a relationship with nature that would ensure sustainability in all its activities aimed at improving the quality of life. “Sustainability” implies meeting current human needs while preserving the environment and natural resources needed by future generations.

It is towards this end that Sri Lanka has developed the National Action Plan for the Haritha Lanka Programme. This plan is the product of the concerted effort of all relevant ministries who actively participated in its development. Making its preparation a high level participatory process was intended to ensure that sustainability would not just remain a concept but would translate into practical reality. The programme is captured in ten mission statements and the proposed strategies and actions that are setoutfocusonfulfillingthetengoalssetoutinthemissionstatements.

Achieving sustainability rests to a large extent on national efforts. We must, however, be mindful of thevitallyimportantplaceofglobalfactorsininfluencingoureffortsaimedatachievingsustainability.These are, notably, the looming crisis of climate change and the crippling effects of high dependence on fossil fuels, both of which would impact strongly on the three pillars of sustainability, namely, environmental conservation, economic stability and social equity. We should therefore strive to develop a cohesive programme for sustainable development. This has been the focus in developing the Action Plan.

This Action Plan has been developed in pursuance of a decision taken at a meeting convened by the Presidential Secretariat on 16th October 2008. In preparing the Plan, short-, medium-, and long-term solutions to meet current and emerging economic and environmental challenges were meticulously explored. A preliminary draft was initially developed by the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources taking intoconsideration thefive-yearnationalenvironmentalactionplanentitledCaring for Environment 2009 – 2013, and the National Strategy for Sustainable Development, both of which were developed through extensive deliberations with the relevant ministries and other related key stakeholder institutions. Using the draft prepared by the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources and incorporating the outcome of deliberations and conclusions reached during four meetings of secretaries of the relevantministries, the final draft of theActionPlan for theHarithaLankaProgrammewasprepared.

A National Council for Sustainable Development (NCSD) was established by the government under the Haritha Lanka Programme to function as a national platform to launch and promote the process of achieving sustainable development. The NCSD is chaired by H.E. the President. NCSD, while making policy integration, would oversee and guide the implementation of the Haritha Lanka Programme.

The ten broad missions/thrust areas covered by the programme are: Clean Air - Everywhere, Saving the Fauna, Flora and Ecosystems, Meeting the Challenges of Climate Change, Wise Use of the Coastal Belt and the Sea Around, Responsible Use of the Land Resources, Doing Away with the Dumps, Water for All and Always, Green Cities for Health and Prosperity, Greening the Industries, Knowledge for Right Choices. The programme includes short-, medium- and long- term targets spanning the period 2009 – 2016 and performance indicators.

The progress of implementation of this action plan will be monitored by the Ministry of Plan Implementation. The secretariat facilities for the NCSD will be provided by the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources.

The earth’s atmosphere – the air we breathe – is indeed one of the planet’s key natural resources, on which the sustenance of every form of life depends. Many human activities in pursuit of what we broadly recognize as “development” discharge huge quantities of polluting substances into the atmosphere, and this trend has escalated in the current decades, despoiling this vital natural resource at an alarming rate.

Vehicular transport is the sub-sector that is most responsible for air pollution in Sri Lanka. Current trends show a sharp growth in the number of vehicles entering the road network of the country – buses, lorries, vans, cars, trishaws and motor cycles. Vehicle exhausts discharge noxious gases and particulate matter and it is well established that these substances, in the air we breathe, can lead to respiratory and cardiac diseases. Besides the pollution caused, pro rata, by the increased number of vehicles, we needtoconsidertheadditionalimpactoftrafficcongestion,whereexcessivequantitiesofpollutantsaredischarged by idling and slow moving vehicles.

The mission implicitly recognizes that the problem of air pollution takes different forms in different parts of the country and its ultimate aim is to ensure that clean air is present everywhere. Taking the transport sector, the areas most impacted by vehicular emissions are the cities. These areas are the home tonearlyathirdoftheisland’spopulationandthisfigureisexpectedtoriseto45percentby2015;hencethe need to address this problem by every means available. The proposed strategies and actions to deal with this problem cover a wide range falling within the categories of improving public transport and relatedinfrastructuresystems;usingcleanerfuels;andimposingstandardsformonitoringandvehicleemissions.

Industrialization and power generation have brought in a range of new dimensions in relation to the problem of air pollution. There has been rapid industrial growth in recent decades, bringing with it large increases in the volume of pollutants discharged into the atmosphere through stacks. In power generation, whereas two decades ago nearly all our power needs were met from hydro sources, now 40- 50 per cent is generated by burning fossil fuels which have the potential of discharging acidic substances to the atmosphere. Pollution from these sources has, for the most part, a localized impact but it needs to be addressed as it causes severe distress to the people resident in the surrounding areas. Strategies and actions for dealing with these problems have been set out.

In regarding the quality of the air we breathe, we tend to overlook the vast majority of people who live in the rural areas in the belief that they are exposed to clean air. Indoor pollution, however, from open hearth cooking is a serious health problem and this mostly affects women. Strategies and actions to address this problem are considered important and have been included.

National Action Plan for Haritha Lanka Programme Mission 2: Saving the Fauna, Flora and Ecosystems

....

For a small country, Sri Lanka is endowed with an exceptionally rich and diverse array of fauna, floraandecosystems.Fromtimeimmemorialthisrichbiodiversityhasservedthepeopleasasourceof food, fuel, medicines and a range of raw materials needed for their livelihood. They used these renewable resources without depleting them. In other words they practised sustainable living centuries before the term “sustainability” was introduced in today’s context of balancing economic development with environmental protection.

Timeshavechanged,andtodaySriLankaisidentifiedasoneoftheworld’sbiodiversityhotspotsi.e. an area which is rich in biodiversity but where the biodiversity is subject to high levels of threat. The natural forests of the country which are the home to the large majority of indigenous animal and plant species were cleared at a rapid rate during the colonial period for raising plantations of tea and rubber. In more recent times forests have been cleared for agriculture and to accommodate a rapidly expanding population. A good part of this clearing has been due to encroachment on state forest land. Estimates made in 1999 indicated that the island’s forest cover was diminishing at the rate of approximately 30,000 hectares annually. Also subject to dwindling areas are the wetlands – the habitats of numerous aquatic species of plants and animals, including a rich diversity of birds. In and around urban areas the loss of wetlandsisduetolandfill.

Many of Sri Lanka’s unique assemblage of species are endemic to the country i.e. they are found nowhere else in the world. Loss of habitat has led to a threat to their survival and the end result of this trend is extinction. The amphibians whose typical habitat is the inter-phase between land and water are extremely sensitive to environmental change. Some 21 species of amphibians that had been recorded earlier are considered to have gone extinct and of the 106 endemic species now present 52 are considered to be under threat. Many species of plants and animals show point endemism, being found in only a singlelocation;thissharplyincreasestheirvulnerability.

A good part of Sri Lanka’s biodiversity also resides in non-forest areas and croplands. Sri Lanka has been referred to as a “gold mine” in reference to the large number and diversity of rice varieties found in the country. The traditional village home gardens including typical Kandian home gardens are a veritable cornucopia of plant species used for food and medicines. Current trends place these valuable genetic resources under threat.

Sri Lanka’s biodiversity, apart from its intrinsic value as our priceless natural heritage, is important as a storehouse of genes that could be used for improving the quality of cultivated plants and may provide pharmaceuticals of immeasurable value in treating human diseases.

A wide range of strategies and corresponding actions have been set out to strengthen the conservation measures now in place, and to introduce new measures where gaps exist, for conserving plant and animal species in forest,wildlifeandwetlandecosystems; in croplands; and inex situ conservationcentres.

National Action Plan for Haritha Lanka Programme Mission 3: Meeting the Challenges of Climate Change

....

Member states of the United Nations adopted the Framework Convention on Climate Change in May 1992. In so doing they acknowledged that human activities are continually discharging greenhouse gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere – gases that are progressively causing global warming by trapping theearth’sheat.Carbondioxidecausesthehighestimpact;theothersaremethane,oxidesofnitrogenandchlorofluorocarbons.Besidesthedirectimpactoftheriseintemperatureonplantandanimallife,global warming will cause perturbations in the earth’s weather patterns and a rise in sea level.

Alterations in weather patterns are generally expected to increase rainfall in wet areas and exacerbate water shortages in dry areas. Sea level rise will occur due to the melting of polar ice sheets and a decrease in the snow cover in mountainous regions as well as the expansion of ocean water bodies. That human induced global warming will occur is now inevitable, but its scale will depend on the extent to which the global community, particularly the developed countries, will adopt measures to restrict the emission of greenhouse gases.

Sea level rise will have a major impact in the coastal areas of Sri Lanka where a high proportion of the population lives. Dwellings, public utilities, many hotels that cater to the tourist industry and a range of infrastructures will fall victims to the advancing sea.

Climate change will have a wide range of adverse impacts. The incidence of vector-borne diseases isexpectedtoincrease;harmfulinsectpestsinthedryzone,benefitingfromtheriseintemperature,willgrowinabundance;peopleinthedryzonewillexperiencemoreprolongeddryweatherandmoreseverewatershortages;andthefaunainthedryzoneforests,includingthoseinthenationalparks,willexperience shortages of food and water. On the other hand wet zone will experience increased rainfall creatingfloodingandassociatedlandslidinginthehillcounty.

Regarding agriculture, the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide will increase yields up to a critical level if the temperature were to remain constant, but this potential increase will be offset by the negative effect of the increased ambient temperature which will decrease yields.

Althoughnotasignificantcontributortoglobalwarming,SriLankahasmappedoutaseriesofactions to play its part in addressing this global problem. These include a wide range of actions to reduce the output of GHGs in the transport, industrial and energy sectors and increasing forestation which will serve as a means of carbon sequestration.

In order to combat the effects of global warming many strategies and corresponding actions have been proposed. These include carrying out health surveillance and identifying high risk areas in relation tohumanhealthasaresultofpredictedclimatechangeandupgradingcontrolmeasures;identifyingspecies and varieties of crop plants that would respond positively to increased ambient temperature andhigher levels of atmospheric carbondioxide; adopting appropriate land and cropmanagementtechnologies;promotingrainwaterharvestinginthedryzone;discouragingbuildingconstructioninvulnerablesectionsoftheseacoast;andenhancingSriLanka’scapacitytoengageincarbontrading.

National Action Plan for Haritha Lanka Programme Mission 4: Wise Use of the Coastal Belt and Sea Around

....

Many parts of the coastal belt are densely populated. Fisheries, manufacturing, tourism and many service activities are highly concentrated in the coastal zone, and in 2004 it was estimated that the coastal zone contributed 44% to the national GDP. With the high concentration of economic activities in the coastal area, there is an overwhelming need to take action to maintain the integrity of the environment.

Thefishery industry is foremostamong themanyeconomicactivities thatuse the resourcesofthecoastalbeltandthesurroundingsea.Themarinefishresourcesarefoundinthecoastalwatersthatoverliethecontinentalshelfandinthedeepseabeyond.Aroundamillionpeopledependonthefishingindustryfortheirlivelihood,andfishconstitutesanimportantproteinintakeofthepopulation.Thevastbulkoffishproductioncomesfromthecoastalwaters.Asaresultofthesharpincreaseinthefrequencyandintensityofnearshorefishingandthecommonfailuretoapplyproperfishingtechnologiesfishstockshavegotdepleted.Besidesfishspecies,lobsters,crabs,prawns,cuttlefishandholothuriansforman important part of the harvest. Many species are now on the point of being endangered due to over-exploitation.

Other economic activities involving the use of natural resources are coral mining for lime production,capturingofliveornamentalfishmainlyforexport,andsandcollectionfromthebeachesand sand dunes. These activities, at current levels of exploitation, are environmentally damaging.

Tourism in Sri Lanka is based, to a considerable extent, in the coastal belt, the main attraction being the sandy beaches, coastal waters, and lagoons and estuaries. Many of the tourist hotels are located in close proximity to the beaches. Maintaining the natural beauty of the coastal environment is vital to sustaining this industry.

Sea erosion is a serious problem in some sections of the coast. This problem is aggravated by the destruction of coral reefs and by sand mining both in the beach and in river beds. River bed mining reduces sand nourishment of the beaches and so promotes coastal erosion. The tsunami of 2004 led to many programmes aimed at attaining sustainability in coastal and marine resources management suffering a serious setback.

Safeguarding the coastal belt and the near shore areas is of critical importance to the continuing developmentofthecountry.Thecoastalfishinggroundswillhavetobegivenprotectionbyincreasingproduction from the deep sea and inland sources and reducing the catch from coastal waters. Better fishingtechniqueshavetobeused.Specialmeasuresbasedonscientificstudieswillhavetobeadoptedtoconserveendangeredspecies.Reductioninpost-harvestlossescouldmakeasignificantimpactonthesustainable management of these resources.

National Action Plan for Haritha Lanka Programme Mission 5: Responsibile Use of the Land Resources

....

For over two millennia, Sri Lanka’s society has been agrarian based. During the time of Sri Lanka’s ancient, famed hydraulic civilization, the rulers, while promoting agricultural development, recognized the importance of proper use of the land. In the undulating landscape of the dry zone, different areas were appropriately set apart for cultivation, for settlements, and for retention in forest cover. The changes that have taken place subsequently, mainly the birth of the crop plantation sector, the growth of the industrial sector, and the rapid rise in population with the consequential emergence of a wide range of social issues have led to a situation where the country’s vital land resource began to be heavily over-exploited, leading to land degradation.

In the agricultural landscape, paddy cultivation is the dominant feature and it has expanded considerably with the establishment of many major irrigation schemes. The tea, rubber and coconut plantations are next in importance. Chena cultivation, mainly in the dry zone, and vegetable gardens in the mid- and up-country contribute substantially to the food requirements of the people. In the industrial sector, the land resource is the base for the extraction of many different minerals. Strategies and actions forfulfillingthemissionhavetofocusonthemanyissuesrelatingtothedifferentformsoflanduse.

It is the agricultural sector that requires the greatest attention. Land improvement measures have to be adopted on an extensive scale to correct past malpractices. Improved land preparation and efficientirrigationandplantnutrientmanagementpracticeshavetobeputintoeffect.Thevegetable,potato and tobacco cultivations and the neglected tea lands in the hill country should be the target for the adoption of strict soil conservation measures for protecting the land as well as preventing the siltingofdownstreamreservoirs.Thescientificcapabilityhastobestrengthenedandeffectivelyusedto support the farmer in a variety of ways such as for proper crop selection, for promoting the use of crop and animal species that are resistant to pests and diseases, for adopting soil conservation measures, and by providing soil testing facilities. With the possibility of increased drought conditions resulting from climate change, there is need to develop drought resistant crop varieties. Chena cultivation causes continuing soil degradation and has to be replaced by a more productive and stable farming system.

Action needs to be taken to establish a forest cover in degraded and neglected cultivated land, particularly in upper watershed areas. Action will also be taken to improve management practices in natural forests and forest plantations.

In the mining sector, sand collection, particularly from river beds, will be strictly controlled. Measureswillbe taken tofindalternatives to river sandand foragreateruseofoff shore sand forbuilding construction. In all mining operations (e.g. gem mining) action will be taken to ensure that mined sites are rehabilitated.

The review of all land related laws and regulations with a view to strengthening their effectiveness in addressing land degradation problems and the revision and implementation of the National Physical Plan are among the other proposed actions.

National Action Plan for Haritha Lanka Programme Mission 6: Doing Away with the Dumps

....

Solid waste is generated by households, commercial and industrial establishments, markets, etc. Over the years, the proper disposal of this waste has proved to be an intractable problem despite the manyeffortsthathavebeenmadetoaddressit;hencetheunsightlyandenvironmentallydegradingwaste dumps that are a common sight. The generation of waste is primarily an urban phenomenon, and the high rate of urbanization will continue to pose a growing challenge to the local authorities who are responsible for the collection and disposal of waste. Current developments such as the use of polythene and other non-degradable packaging material, the discarding of growing quantities of used electrical and electronic equipment, the increasing discharge of clinical waste, and the entry into the country of e-wasteintheguiseofresourcesarefactorsthathavecollectivelyaddedtothedifficultiesinresolvingthe problem of waste management.

Many forms of waste (e.g. discarded electronic equipment and clinical waste) are potentially hazardous. The indiscriminate dumping of hazardous material with other solid waste can pose a threat to those who engage in handling and picking waste while also exposing the people living in the area to a variety of communicable diseases.

At present nearly all of the solid waste collected by the local authorities is unloaded at dump sites orusedforlandfill.Noattemptismadetosegregatethematerialatthesourceintowhatishazardous,what is recyclable, and what can be treated (e.g. for composting), while leaving only the remaining part tobeusedforlandfill.Aseriousproblemfacinglocalauthoritiesistheacuteshortageoflandforwastedisposal. Hence the use of whatever land that is available in a more economical manner will help to ease theproblembyprolongingthelifespanofthelandfillsite.Itisexpectedthatthepilisaruprogrammedeveloped in line with the national policy on solid waste management will accelerate the integrated approach to addressing this problem. Farms could adopt a variety of measures to reduce the generation of waste such as promoting the production and use of organic fertilizer and reducing post harvest losses.

In the industrial sector, the production of waste can be reduced considerably through “life cycle management” where minimizing the generation and reducing the toxicity of waste is factored into the designing, manufacturing, consumption and disposal of a product. The “polluter pays principle” should also be enforced to ensure environmentally sound treatment and disposal of industrial solid waste. The accumulation of hazardous wastes in the non-hazardous waste stream has to be avoided and the management of hazardous waste improved.

Local Authorities need to strengthen their institutional mechanisms for solid waste management. Newinitiativesareneeded–obtainingcommunityparticipation;segregatingwasteatthesourceandsettingupmechanismstodealwiththedifferentcategoriesofwaste;andintegratingcollectionsites,storagesites,andlandfillsites.Arangeofactionsareproposedfordealingwiththewastemanagementissues and doing away with the dumps.

National Action Plan for Haritha Lanka Programme Mission 7: Water for All and Always

....

Sri Lanka can be considered as a country that is well endowed with water resources since it receives, on an average, over 2000 mm of rainfall annually. Its spatial and temporal distribution, however, is such that a large part of the country (65%), referred to as the dry zone, experiences water shortages and droughts during several months in the year. Hence, taking action to ensure that the inhabitants of the dry zone have access to adequate supplies of water to meet their agricultural and domestic needs is of prime importance.

Another critical issue in relation to water, even in parts of the country where the resource is adequate in quantity, is the rapid deterioration of water quality owing to pollution from industrial, agricultural and domestic wastes. In the dry zone, heavy extraction of ground water from the limestone aquifers in the north and north-west can result in contamination with salt water while contamination with nitrogenous compounds has been seen to occur in different parts of the dry zone due to the heavy and unrestricted use of fertilizers.

Intakingactiontofulfillthemission,themajorpolicyinitiative,particularlyapplicabletothedryzone, would be to introduce water resources allocation and management on the basis of river basin units and sub-units. With the introduction of a water allocation system a series of actions can be put into effectthroughtheactiveparticipationofthecommunitytoconserveandefficientlymanagethelimitedwater resources in an equitable manner. We could also draw lessons from Sri Lanka’s past at which time village tanks were built in a cascade pattern, where a connected series of tanks was constructed within a micro-catchment. The water that is used for irrigation under one tank is passed on to the next for reuse, thereby making optimum use of this scarce resource. Many of these tanks are still in use while many others are non-functional but can be restored.

Regarding the country’s irrigation system, new initiatives have to be put in place to secure the stability ofthesystemandensureefficiencyintheuseofirrigationwater.Theinstitutionalmechanismswherethe Departments of Agriculture and Irrigation will collaborate in implementing watershed conservation and water management practices have to be activated and a range of measures implemented. Micro and drip irrigation are technologies that could be adopted where feasible to economize on the use of water.

Contamination of water resources arises from many different causes, and a wide range of actions havetobeadoptedtoaddresstheproblem.Thefirsttargetshouldbetoidentifyandeliminatepollutionsources at water intakes and within the related catchments. On a wider scale, the polluter pays principle has to be enforced and the setting up of water treatment plants promoted. In the dry zone, regulating groundwater extraction and improving fertilizeruse efficiency are necessarymeasures to keep theground water resource free of contamination.

Avoiding waste of water during any form of use is one sure way of ensuring that the available sources will last longer. Where necessary and feasible, the harvesting of rainwater and the adoption of recycling technologies will pay dividends in the form of ensuring a more secure supply.

miSSioN 7: water For all aND alwayS

Preamble


80

....

1. Establish a systematic water allocation system and improve efficiency and equity in water distribution for various purposes.

2. Organize a rehabilitation scheme for small tanks and revitalize the tank cascade system developed.

3. Transform the irrigation system to meet new challenges.

4. Keep drinking water sources free from contamination through proper zoning and control measures.

5. Integrate conservation, re-use and recycling practices at all levels of water use.

6. Strictly enforce the Polluter Pays Principle for water polluting industries/activities.

7. Strengthen implementation of integrated water resource management systems.

8. Reduce fertilizer leaching and eutrophication.

National Action Plan for Haritha Lanka Programme Mission 8: Green Cities for Health and Prosperity

....

Urban expansion that has taken place at a phenomenal rate since three decades ago was not accompanied by a planned framework. As a result, a number of problems have surfaced. These include urbansprawl;ribbondevelopmentalongmainroads;unplannedfragmentationofland;utilizationoflow-lyingandenvironmentallysensitiveareasforindustrial,commercialandresidentialuses;decreasedeffectivenessofstormwaterdrainage;andinadequatefacilitiesforsewerageandsolidwastedisposal.At present urban areas account for over 30 per cent of the population and this is expected to grow to 45 per cent by 2015. Considering the current situation, and faced with the prospect of the challenges growing in magnitude, there is now an urgent and pressing need to address the issues if we are to attain the goals of the mission.

While declaring an Urban Sector Policy Framework is the starting point, the need of the hour is to move into implementation. Urban development plans integrating environmental concerns have to be prepared, making provision as appropriate for the different needs and proposing an urban design/townscape. Adequate land should be reserved for conservation needs including the protection of important wetlands. Provision must be made for setting apart adequate public outdoor recreation space. Biodiversity parks, while also supporting outdoor recreation, will promote appreciation of the country’s biological wealth, and the setting up of such parks should be encouraged. The green cover of the cities should be expanded to improve the quality of the city environment.

Storm water management is a matter that requires urgent attention. Management plans have to be developed for all urban areas and projects initiated for their implementation.

Integrated solid waste management and hazardous waste management strategies and actions should be implemented in all urban areas. This would include the provision of suitable sites for the management of these wastes and facilitating public-private partnerships for construction, management and operation of solid waste management systems. Taking measures for reducing waste output and for recycling and treating different types of waste will go a long way in reducing the volume of material thatfinallyreacheslandfillsites.ThesemeasureshavebeenemphasizedundertheMission:DoingAwaywith the Dumps.

Sewer networks are now found only in three cities – in Colombo it serves 70% of the population and in Dehiwala and Kolonnawa only a small percentage of the households are connected. The development of networks with proper treatment facilities particularly for densely populated parts of some of the cities is one of the proposals. The setting up of biogas plants as a means of treating sewage is also considered.

Improving the transport systemwouldmake a significant contribution towards enhancing thequality of the city environment.One of the proposals is to develop efficient transport systems andmark out bus lanes where necessary.

National Action Plan for Haritha Lanka Programme Mission 9: Greening the Industries

....

Sri Lanka’s industrial sector, driven by private enterprise, is a major contributor to the country’s economy. Its contribution to the GDP has progressively increased over the years and now stands at 27%, second only to the services sector. Expectations are that it will continue to gain in importance in its capacity for providing employment and its potential for attracting foreign exchange.

The manufacturing industries have the potential for causing environmental damage by discharging waste products which are often toxic and hazardous. Among the industries of particular concern are textile dyeing and bleaching; paper; paints; cement; asbestos; leather tanning; rubber processing;foodprocessing; distilleries;manufacturing of agricultural andmineral products; andmetalworks.Industrialeffluentsaresourcesoftoxicinorganiccompoundscontainingheavymetalsaswellasorganiccompounds.

Hitherto much effort has gone into trying to resolve the problem of industrial waste management. The National Environmental Act is the main legislative enactment under which several regulations pertaining to the discharge of pollutants have been gazetted. The main regulatory body is the Central Environmental Agency. Under the law it is mandatory that an initial environmental examination report or an environmental impact assessment be prepared and approval obtained before certain prescribed industries are set up. The environmental protection licensing scheme requires existing industries that produce considerable quantities of liquid waste to have in-house waste water treatment plants. One approachthathasbeenadoptedandcouldbereplicatedistohaveacommoneffluenttreatmentplantfor industries grouped in an industrial estate.

Despite the range of legislative, administrative and regulatory actions taken to improve the performance of industries in safeguarding the environment, pollution from industrial sources is still a common occurrence. Strategies and actions are proposed for greening the industries and eliminating sources of environmental degradation in accordance with the national policy on cleaner production.

Several measures for consolidating cleaner production in industries are set out. These include reducing emission of pollutants and wastage of resources, targeting small and medium industries to exerciseenvironmentalcareandsocialresponsibility,promotingenergyuseefficiency,andswitchingtorenewable energy use where possible.

The establishment of eco-friendly industrial parks in the regions is proposed while also taking steps to improve the environmental infrastructure in the existing industrial estates. A scheme for establishing environmental performance criteria for the individual industries in the industrial estates couldbeintroduced.IndustriesshouldbeencouragedtoobtainISO14001certification.Amongtheotherproposals are promoting the use of environmentally friendly raw material, encouraging industries to recover resources from selected wastes, and encouraging industries to apply for carbon credits for their renewable energy projects.

National Action Plan for Haritha Lanka Programme Mission 10: Knowledge for Right Choices

....

Accomplishing the missions and attaining the goal of Haritha Lanka would require the country to steer through a path of sustainable development. The importance of sustainable development was highlighted at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, dubbed the Earth Summit,whichwasheldin1992.ForthefirsttimeinthehistoryoftheUnitedNations,countrieswereinvited to be represented by their heads of state. The message was clear – there was an overwhelming need for all countries to make a concerted effort to meet the challenge of balancing economic development with environmental care, and this message had to be accepted and acted upon by all countries at the highest political level.

Sri Lanka’s strategy for sustainable development focuses on eradicating poverty, ensuring competitiveness in the economy, improving social development, ensuring good governance and maintaining a clean and healthy environment. Every action in pursuit of economic development requires hard choices to be made to strike a balance between obtaining short term benefits andexercising proper environmental care. The government’s role is clear – it has to take measures to support economic development while ensuring that such development does not degrade the environment and so stultify the sustainability of the development programmes. Political will, supported by a clear understanding of the need to balance economic development with environmental protection is a sine qua non for accomplishing the missions. Foremost among the strategies is, therefore, the dissemination of information on sustainable development to the political sector. While the attention of those in the political sector will be focused mainly on socio-economic development, they must be made aware of the environmental safeguards that must be applied. Members of parliament, in particular, must be informed periodically on key national and international environmental issues which need priority attention. Members of provincial councils and local government bodies should also be kept informed on different aspects of sustainable development.

Muchcouldbeachievedbysensitizingtheschoolgoingpopulationonthebenefitsofprotectingthe environment. This could be done through making the necessary changes in the existing curricula and syllabi. It is also very necessary to conduct awareness programmes for principals, teachers and student leaders. While learning the tenets of environmental care, the students could be encouraged to take part in practical exercises relating to the subject in and around the school. Sustainable development aspects at a much more advanced level should be incorporated into appropriate course units in the universities and technical colleges.

The youth and the general public are vital segments of the population that need to be convinced of the importance of exercising proper environmental care if sustainable development programmes are to achieve complete success. In this respect, women could play an active role as change agents.

Knowledge on sustainable development should also be disseminated among the private sector and professional bodies.
