Discussion on Sri Lanka’s Future amid El Niño and La Niña Held at University of Kelaniya

The Department of Geography, the Society of Geography, the Research Centre for Social Sciences (RCSS), and the Communication and Media Unit of the University of Kelaniya jointly organized an academic discussion titled ‘The Future of Our Country with El Niño and La Niña’ on August 11, 2026, at the Auditorium of the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Kelaniya. The event was held under the 7th phase of Sansharawani ’26.

The discussion was organized with several key objectives, including enhancing university students’ understanding of how the El Niño and La Niña phenomena affect Sri Lanka’s weather and climate; raising awareness of disaster preparedness and management strategies to cope with climate variability; identifying the potential impacts of these phenomena on agriculture, water resources, and the economy; and providing a platform for the exchange of views and ideas on preparing society and institutions to face Sri Lanka’s future climate conditions.

The programme commenced with a video documentary on the impacts of El Niño and La Niña, providing an introduction to the key climate phenomena discussed during the event.

Post Conference Workshop - A Strategic Roadmap for Academia

Following the inaugural International Conference on Sustainable Studies, a pivotal post-conference round-table discussion was convened to establish a collaborative roadmap for integrating climate resilience into academic frameworks. This high-level dialogue brought together a diverse consortium of stakeholders, including government representatives, academic researchers, faculty members, students, and private industry leaders. The session centered on fostering synergistic partnerships to address the multifaceted challenges of climate change, social sustainability, and the implementation of green initiatives.

By critically assessing current systemic gaps and operational weaknesses, participants identified actionable strategies to bridge the divide between theoretical research and practical application. The discourse emphasized the essential role of academia in catalyzing climate action, outlining a cohesive strategy for interdisciplinary collaboration that empowers institutions to effectively influence policy and drive sustainable development through multi-sectoral engagement.
