    Climate Change and Disasters: Managing Risks in Sri Lanka

    Lanka, Institute of Policy Studies of Sri | September 2018
    Abstract
    Natural Disasters which have now become more recurrent have multiple impacts on Sri Lanka's economic development process. The impacts of disasters are felt disproportionately among economic sectors and across socio-economic segments. While, disaster risk management aspects pay attention to all economic sectors, the agriculture sector should receive more emphasis due to the resultant food security and economic impacts within the sector and beyond.
