(-Unveiling of National People’s Power Environmental Policy – 31.08.2024-)
The NPP unveiled its environmental policy under the theme ‘Mihikatha’ (Mother Earth) on 31.08.2024 in Colombo. The policy primarily focused on the environmental threats facing Sri Lanka, including addressing climate change, the human-elephant conflict, forest system protection, and kidney diseases caused by environmental factors.
The main speaker, NPP presidential candidate Anura Kumara Dissanayake, stated that the NPP would prevent environmental destruction by transforming environmentalists’ plans into government policies.
Dr. Ravindra Kariyawasam, the National Coordinator of the Center for Environmental and Nature Studies, emphasized that the fundamental basis of our environmental policy is to protect what cannot be recreated.
