The impact of climate change on the development agenda in Sri Lanka and urgent measures needed to address this crisis
In this COOLtalk we will be tuning in to and interacting with experts from Sri Lanka who are grappling with issues of development in a country severely challenged due to financial crisis and a history of disruptions due to climate change events as well as ethnic & communal violence.
COOLtalks are part of Masterpeace COOLeaders global program which aims to build ownership and leadership at grass roots level to address the issues of environment – natural, developmental and cultural. We hope to reach out to common people and engage, inform and motivate them to take practical steps to solve key issues and to transform the conditions which lead to the crisis. The program is committed to tackling climate action, toxicity in our lives and enabling equal participation of women and marginalized communities.
The COOLeaders program is using creative modes likes arts, films,sports, etc towards its purposes.
