Welcome to the Centre for Sustainability Solutions (CSS)!

In a world facing the impacts of climate change, limited resources and social disparities, the need for purposeful and collaborative efforts requires immediate attention, unlike at any previous time. 

The CSS at the University of Kelaniya is committed to developing innovative, research-driven scientific solutions that address the pressing environmental and social challenges.

The CSS's strategy is primarily anchored on five key areas:

• Water management

• Waste management

• Energy management

• Biodiversity management and 

• Community Outreach

Through these initiatives, we are proud to contribute directly to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). From responsible consumption and production to clean energy, climate action, quality education, and partnerships for the goals, CSS ensures that sustainability is integrated across the University’s operations, teaching and research.

While we are proud of the progress we have made over the past decade, we know that our journey is far from over. In the coming years, our focus will be on further strengthening our impact towards a sustainable future.

I'm pleased to extend my gratitude to our students, industry partners, researchers and every individual who shares our commitment to a sustainable world. I invite you to join us in transforming a greener, sustainable world for ourselves, our communities, and all future generations.
