To raise funds for green finance projects in 2023, it has been decided to publish a robust roadmap. President Ranil Wickremesinghe has instructed the appointment of a green finance committee, which will be chaired by Ruwan Wijewardena, Senior Advisor to the President on Climate Change.
A preliminary discussion was held this morning (17) at the Presidential Secretariat, chaired by Mr. Wijewardena.
Green finance involves directing financial resources to address climate change challenges and to transition towards a low carbon economy, according to the Presidential Secretariat.
The Roadmap on Green Finance aims to merge ongoing processes like green finance, green bonds, climate finance, etc., into a single platform with a clear scope, measures, and targets. During the discussion, significant attention was given to these issues.
