As an island nation, Sri Lanka possesses tremendous potential for the development of both the green and blue economies. With its abundant resources, the country has the potential to become a global example in sustainable practices.

The green economy focusses on the sustainable use of natural resources to boost economic growth; the blue economy entails the responsible utilisation of ocean resources. With these opportunities – including sustainable tourism – Sri Lanka can foster economic development in an environmentally conscious manner.
