With a population of 20 million, Sri Lanka is a scenic tourist destination for visitors around the globe. Despite the fact that the country has been engaged in a 26-year conflict that ended only recently, Sri Lanka has made significant economic and social progress over the past 30 years. However, young people face an unemployment rate four times higher than the population as a whole, according to 2010 estimates.
Phoenix Voyage has identified Sri Lanka to be one example of the eco-efficiency it will introduce to its communities thru its green building, energy systems, food growth systems and community support programs.
