Vulnerable communities around the world are facing the growing repercussions of the climate crisis. It’s time to make polluters pay!

Background

Across the globe, communities are paying the price for a climate crisis created by a handful of major polluters.

Mannar is one of them. As one of Sri Lanka's most climate-vulnerable districts, its coastal communities are already facing the fallout- from dwindling fish stocks and saltwater-damaged farmland to the loss of generational livelihoods.

Driven by decades of unchecked fossil fuel emissions, the crisis is hitting home. But Mannar isn't standing by. Local communities are documenting the damage firsthand, building a public record of what has been lost and what is still at stake.

The corporations responsible must be held accountable—and they must pay for the damage they’ve caused. Mannar is rising to demand climate justice. It’s time for communities everywhere to rise with us.

Climate Polluters Must Be Held Accountable for the Damage in Mannar

Mannar is among the four districts most affected by climate change in Sri Lanka. Fishing communities across the region are reporting declining catches, saline intrusion into farmland, and the steady loss of livelihoods that have sustained them for generations.

These adverse changes are driven by decades of emissions from a small number of fossil fuel companies whose activities continue largely unchecked. Communities in Mannar are now documenting this damage directly, building a public record of what is being lost and what is at stake.

The companies responsible for driving this crisis must be held accountable, and must contribute to the cost of the damage already done.
