Promoting Climate Accountability in South Asia: A Civil Society Approach to Assessing the Clean Energy Transition-Sri Lanka

This report presents insights gained from the evaluation of case studies, interviews, and documents to propose a framework designed for CSOs to track clean energy transitions driven by climate commitments. The research was conducted in Nepal by the Institute for Social and Environmental Transition-Nepal, Sri Lanka by the Centre for Environmental Justice, and Bangladesh by the Centre for Policy Dialogue, where the pace of energy transition varies in each country, underscoring the importance of aligning the process with the environmental and social context. These countries are at different stages of development, each with unique characteristics shaped by their historical contexts. While all have set targets following the Paris Accord, these countries maintain these goals in their own formats. In this report, we present the findings on the Sri Lankan context of solar power, wind power and hydropower (with a focus on mini-hydropower projects), after reviewing several case studies. The proposed accountability framework reflects the lessons learned from these case studies.
