Prepare  the Fourth National Communication Report (NC4) of Sri Lanka to the UNFCCC 


Sri Lanka ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in  1993, , and also ratified the Kyoto Protocol in 2002 and the Paris Agreement (PA) in 2016. As a Party to the Convention, Sri Lanka is obligated to implement the decisions of the Conference of the Parties (COPs) regarding the implementation of policies and measures to adapt to and mitigate climate change, thereby contributing to the attainment of the objectives of the Convention.

Sri Lanka has prepared and submitted three National Communications (NCs): the Initial National Communication (NC1) in 2000, the Second National Communication (NC2) in 2012, and the Third National Communication (NC3) in 2022. The Government also submitted its first Biennial Transparency Report (BTR1) in December 2024. Sri Lanka is also making steady progress on Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) supported by the Capacity Building Initiative on Transparency (CBIT) Project, Accelerating Industries’ Climate Response in Sri Lanka (AICRSL) Project, and the Climate Promise 2025 programme.

UNDP will provide technical inputs and facilitate coordination between development partners and government entities to enable assignment completion.
