Integrating Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) and Climate Change Policy: Sri Lanka

Sustainable consumption and production (SCP) is about using resources more efficiently, reducing waste, and designing a more circular, low-carbon economy — all vital for tackling emissions at their source.

This paper makes the case for embedding SCP into Sri Lanka’s national climate action, showing how it can complement and strengthen the country’s efforts to meet its climate goals.

The report reviews Sri Lanka’s progress, from its 2019 SCP policy to the measures included in its updated NDC. It highlights priority sectors such as textiles, tourism and construction, and sets out practical recommendations.
