Project or context description

The EU Green Recovery Facility (The Facility) is a four-year intervention funded by the European Union (EU). It uses the current economic crisis as an opportunity to support Sri Lanka towards a more sustainable growth trajectory. The ultimate goal entails achieving a green (and blue) economy that is circular, carbon neutral, and socially inclusive; which, not only, is more respectful of biodiversity resources and socio-economic/demographic context, but would also provide much needed macroeconomic stability.

In this context, the Facility harnesses policy experiences and knowledge from the EU (e.g. the European Green Deal), along with national and regional ones, to contribute to the green recovery (medium term) and transition (long term) of the Sri Lankan economy and society.
