Sri Lanka’s Pressing Plastic and Pollution Plight: Challenges and SolutionsBy Nilmini Roelens, UK Solicitor & CEO, Solar Village SDG — a patriotic “stranded tourist” 30th August 2026
This two-hour conversation covered enormously important issues relating to pollution in Sri Lanka and how we should work together to find practical solutions. We should avoid placing an excessive burden on the public through legislation alone and instead focus on education, awareness and behavioural change, while developing viable alternative solutions within a reasonable timeframe.
The work required is also closely linked to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is therefore directly relevant to Sri Lanka’s development and to our place and responsibilities in the wider global community.
