The Story of Mutubanda

 

Sri Lanka already experience the impacts of climate change. Mutubanda has grown rice half his life but increasing frequency and duration of droughts are threatening his harvest. He uses traditional drought-resistant seed varieties to adapt to the changing conditions. Even this method of adaptation is under threat as the probability of future droughts increases as a result of climate change.

This is one story of many.

Internal commissions and probes seem to be in vogue today. Our head of state announced appointing a commission of our own, to look into any atrocities committed during the war to end terrorism in Sri Lanka as claimed by some interested groups and lobbies. This indeed was the rightful response to UN Secretary General's recent comment that he intends to appoint a probe commission of his own, quite uncharacteristic of the world body's usual modus operandi.
