EU Green Policy Dialogue Facility The action, the EU ¿Green Policy Dialogue Facility¿ will support Sri Lanka in developing and implementing its national multi-sector policies, reforms and interventions that are aligned with EU global policy priorities and initiatives promoting the external dimensions of the EU Green Deal and the Paris Agreement such as the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) Partnership, the European Sustainable Finance strategy and Green Bond initiative, the Global Alliance for Circular Economy and Resource Efficiency, and the Global Coalition for Biodiversity. The EU will aim at supporting national efforts in addressing the multi-faceted environmental challenges, in mitigating and adapting to climate change in most vulnerable areas, which has led to climate-induced migration. Within the framework of the European Investment Plan/EFSD+ (European Fund for Sustainable Development), the EU will mobilize finance (public and private) to expand the development of green infrastructures in the energy, water and waste sectors.The EU will also support the development of a circular economy, decoupling economic growth from obsolete carbon intensive polluting practices and unsustainable production and consumption behaviours, by harnessing the benefits of digital transformation, innovation and entrepreneurship. The EU will support the authorities and civil society to protect their rich land and marine biodiversity. As part of its green diplomacy, the EU will assist in this endeavour drawing upon its own experience and knowhow on green recovery and aim to ensure that the whole population, women, men, girls and boys in all their diversity, benefits from it as much as possible leaving no one behind, whilst contributing to global efforts.The focus on green policies will benefit above all SDG 17 (sustainable partnerships) as well as SDGs 7, 12, 13, 14 and 15 but also 4, 9. The Facility will support directly the preparation and then facilitate and monitor the implementation of the Green Recovery Team Europe Initiative. As part of a Team Europe approach, the Facility will most likely be complemented by additional initiatives from the following EU Members States, France, Germany and the Netherlands as well as the European Investment Bank and would participate directly in its governance structure. All EU partners might contribute jointly or in parallel through specific interventions which will be coordinated by the Facility.
