The Sri Lankan government has launched a $100 million climate resilience programme that  government officials say will allow it to adapt better to changing climate patterns.

The four-year programme, funded through a World Bank loan, will invest $90 million to improve infrastructure in three areas – flood and drought management, transport and schools. It will also pay for a $13 million effort to analyze nine main river basins to develop better flood and drought protection strategies.
