ÉTUDE DE CAS NATIONALE : Le Sri Lanka

The document analyzes the institutional frameworks and policy synergies in Sri Lanka aimed at integrating the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Paris Agreement, and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. It identifies key entry points for strengthening this alignment, including the updating of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and the National Adaptation Plan (NAP), the development of National Policies and Strategies for Sustainable Development (NPSSD), and the creation of integrated monitoring and evaluation systems.

• Sri Lanka's policy documents already establish links between sustainable development, climate change, and disaster risk reduction. For example, the country's Voluntary National Review on the SDGs connects the 2030 Agenda, the Paris Agreement, and the Sendai Framework, highlighting climate adaptation as a means to achieve goals related to health, urban development, and the elimination of hunger.
• The Ministry of Mahaweli Development and Environment (MMDE) plays a central role in alignment because it is the focal point for both sustainable development and climate change, managing the Climate Change Secretariat (CCS) and the coordination of the SDGs.
• There is significant alignment and overlap between the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and the National Adaptation Plan (NAP), with seven shared priority sectors. The NDCs explicitly state that adaptation commitments are based on the NAP.
• The upcoming updates to the NDCs and the NAP, as well as the finalization of the National Policies and Strategies for Sustainable Development (NPSSD) by the end of 2019, represent critical opportunities to move from informal to strategic alignment.
• Efficiency gains can be achieved by developing a common monitoring and evaluation (M&E) framework for adaptation that covers the NDCs, the NAP, and adaptation-related SDGs, rather than maintaining separate systems.
• The launch of adaptation planning at the provincial level provides a mechanism to integrate national goals into local action through the creation of Regional Climate Cells.
