In an effort to combat climate change, an awareness program was held at Ganemulla Hemamali College, Sri Lanka, with 153 girls participating. The program aimed to educate the girls about the causes and effects of climate change, emphasizing its impact on their local environment. Through interactive sessions and workshops, the girls learned about sustainable practices they could adopt in their daily lives. The program empowered them to become environmentally conscious and take action to protect the planet.
The Urban Settlement Development Authority (USDA),which was established in 2008 by Parliament Act No. 36 of 2008, is an institution functioning under the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing. The formulation of national policy in relation to urban settlement development and ensuring implementation of such policy, along with the provision of improvements to the living conditions of people in underserved settlements, are the interconnected twin objectives of the establishment of USDA.
