President Ranil Wickremesinghe says the world’s first international environmental university will be established in Sri Lanka to support the global effort in addressing climate change.

He made this remark while attending the 10th Environment Pioneer President’s Medal Awarding Ceremony 2020-2021 held at the Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall (BMICH).

The President acknowledged that although climate change is a significant challenge for the world, there is no central research hub to study it, and invited multiple countries to join Sri Lanka in the effort.
