As climate-related disclosure requirements, investor expectations and regulatory frameworks continue to evolve, Sri Lankan businesses are facing growing pressure to strengthen their climate governance, compliance and risk management capabilities.
To support this transition, Genesis – the Dilmah Centre for a Sustainable Future will host a specialised post-summit technical workshop titled “Climate Action: A Strategic Executive Workshop on Climate Resilience and Business Continuity” on 12 June 2026 at Genesis, Colombo.
Designed as a practical continuation of the discussions initiated at the Sri Lanka Climate Summit 2026, the workshop will bring together sustainability managers, compliance officers, risk specialists, ESG professionals and corporate decision-makers seeking to translate climate commitments into actionable business strategies.
The program will move beyond awareness and advocacy to focus on implementation, examining the frameworks, financing mechanisms and compliance pathways shaping climate action within Sri Lanka’s evolving corporate and policy landscape.
The keynote address will be delivered by internationally recognised environmental lawyer and governance specialist Dr. Lalanath de Silva, who will provide insights into the rapidly changing legal and compliance environment influencing climate-related business decisions.
Expert-led technical sessions will explore emerging disclosure requirements including IFRS S2 climate-related disclosures, national climate policy integration, climate risk governance, green finance opportunities, internal carbon pricing mechanisms and pathways to access climate-related funding. Participants will also gain insights into nature-based solutions and the growing role of private sector leadership in climate adaptation.
Featured speakers include; Climate Change and Disaster Risk Management Specialist Rohan Cooray, Bio Diversity Sri Lanka Senior Technical Advisor Shiranee Yasaratne, and UNDP National Project Coordinator-Climate Action Suganthi Samarasinghe.
With increasing scrutiny from global markets, investors and regulators, climate readiness is rapidly becoming a business necessity rather than a sustainability aspiration. This workshop provides a timely platform for professionals to strengthen institutional preparedness, understand emerging obligations and identify opportunities arising from the transition to a climate-resilient economy.
Attendance is complimentary; however, advance registration is essential as participation is limited to sustainability, compliance, governance and risk management professionals.
