Overview

Description

Sri Lanka Carbon Crediting Scheme (SLCCS) is a national offset scheme established to support local clean projects (such as renewable energy projects (solar, wind, hydro), energy efficiency initiatives, and reforestation or afforestation activities), to benefit from climate finance for emission reductions. Project owners can use credits for internal offsetting or trading.

Recent Developments

While there are no significant changes to the Sri Lanka Carbon Crediting Scheme, in its updated NDCs (2025), the government indicated that it would clarify the role of Article 6 and carbon credits to meet its NDCs in the forthcoming regulation on carbon markets (“Carbon Market Strategy and Guiding Principles”).
