Empowering women as
ambassadors for climate change
An overview of Sri Lankan Scenario
focusing finance for development
December, 2015
By:
Kirithika Arudjothy
(a) Kirithika Thushyantha
By: Krithika
This artifact intends to enhance the awareness on
the “role of women in climate change adaptation”
and the “need for financing” on the above context
Compile the concepts of Development finance with
the experience gained in the gender related
aspects of Sri Lanka
By: Krithika
 Sri Lanka is currently on its overhaul phase towards
development after a long lasting political unrest
 The poverty head count of Sri Lanka has shown a decreasing
pattern after the official ending of civil war and remains as 6.7
(2014) meanwhile the Official Poverty line is LKR 1423
 Sri Lanka posses a likelihood of achieving the SDGs if the
public sector financing is imposed in to essential domestic
affairs
By: Krithika
The components of SDGs focused in the present
case are as follows
 Women (#5)- Achieve gender equality and empower all
women and girls
 Climate (#13)-Take urgent action to combat climate
change and its impacts
 Sustainability (#17)-Strengthen the means of
implementation and revitalize the global partnership
for sustainable development
By: Krithika
Women in Sri Lanka has been vulnerable to
unemployment and being the low cost workers in
the society
The participation rate of women (35%) in Sri
Lankan labour force is being stumpy when
comparing to that of men (75%): Census-2014
Being the trivial constituents of the labour force
and derives them to place an increased access to
natural resources; women in Sri Lanka has a higher
potential to involve in Climate change adaptationBy: Krithika
 Mitigation of climate change involves actions that
are designed to limit the amount of long
term climate change
Due to the increased accessibility to natural
resources and involvement in Agriculture; women
face become the key stakeholders in climate
change
By increasing the involvement of women in climate
change mitigation and adaptation practices, an
amplified output can be achieved
By: Krithika
According the information from the funding
sources, women employed in non-agricultural
sectors has remained stumpy for the last four
years, its only around 30% of the population
employed (aidflows.org)
The above becomes an evident that majority of the
women are employed in Agriculture related
activities where the detractive influence towards
climate change is high
 In the meantime, women as key stakeholders can
act as the ambassadors for climate change
adapting remedial actions to minimize its impacts
By: Krithika
Sri Lanka being a beneficiary of Official
Development Assistance as a lower middle income
country in the South Asian Region
During the past years, strategic frameworks for
climate change and gender related issues has been
mainstreamed vastly under public sector
development rather than in private sector,
considering the return on investment
However, certain private organizations has also
undertaken various strategies to attend such issues
under Community Social Responsibility (CSR)
components
By: Krithika
The official funds for Public Sector Development
have been dispersed in to Sri Lanka mainly through
OECD, ADB and World bank
Even though gender aspects and climate change
has been considered as minor sectors in public
sector funding, its vital that strategies to be
undertaken to mainstream the above for a
victorious achievement of the SDGs
By: Krithika
Introduction of Organic Agricultural practices
among farmer women
Introduce alternative income generating activities
among women who primarily depend on natural
resources for subsistence
 Target group
• Women who are involved in lagoon/ mangrove fishing
• Women involved in sea shell, prawn and crab fishing
• Women who cut trees for kitchen firewood purposes
By: Krithika
Introduce participatory approach in natural
resource management
 i.e. : Empowered community groups ensure sustainable
exploitation of natural resources in their locality
Establish women community groups for disaster
resilience and other climate change impacts
 i.e.: at an occurrence of a natural disaster, such
empowered community groups may act as resilience
groups to save the fellow citizens
