Publication Open Access The Influence of Climate Change and Foreign Direct Investment on Aquaculture: A Panel Data Approach for Top-Producing Countries(ICSDB 2024 and SLIIT Business School, 2024-12-10) Dilakshi, L.B.I.; Kariyawasam, N.G.; Senevirathna, S.R.A.; Vidumini, B.G.A.; Wickramasinghe, Y.; Wisenthige, K.; Jayathilaka, R.Aquaculture production is the major subdivision of the marine industry, indicating a critical sector in global food security and economic development. The objective of the current study is to discover the impact of Climate change and Foreign Direct Investments on Aquaculture Production in 10 major producers. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, major aquaculture-producing nations are China, India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Indonesia, Norway, Chile, Egypt, the Philippines, and South Korea. The panel regression model was implemented to quantify the influence of the variables on Aquaculture Production in major 10 aquacultures producers’ gathered data from 1972 to 2022. To check the stability and stationery according to the major assumptions of the Ordinary Least Squared model, the Levin-Lin-Chu test, F-test, Breusch-Pagan Lagrange Multiplier test, and Hausman test were conceded from this study. Furthermore, the study was conducted to regulate the most relevant model among Pooled Ordinary Least Square, Fixed effect Model, and Random Effect Model. The findings from the descriptive statistics showed that the overall standard deviation specifies significant differences in Aquaculture Production across the preferred areas. Finally, the results shows that both climate change and Foreign Direct Investment has a significant positive impact on Aquaculture Production in top 10 producing nations.Publication Open Access Ecosystem-Based Adaptation for the Impact of Climate Change and Variation in the Water Management Sector of Sri Lanka(Hindawi, 2021-02-25) Khaniya, B; Gunathilake, M. B; Rathnayake, U. SThe climate of Sri Lanka has been fluctuating at an alarming rate during the recent past. These changes are reported to have pronounced impacts on the livelihoods of the people in the country. Water is central to the sustainable functioning of ecosystems and wellbeing of mankind. It is evident that pronounced variations in the climate will negatively impact the availability and the quality of water resources. The ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) approach has proved to be an effective strategy to address the impact of climate change on water resources in many parts of the world. The key aim of this paper is to elaborate the wide range of benefits received through implementation of EbAs in field level, watershed scale, and urban and coastal environments in the context of Sri Lanka. In addition, this paper discusses the benefits of utilizing EbA solutions over grey infrastructure-based solutions to address the issues related to water management. The wide range of benefits received through implementation of EbAs can be broadly classified into three categories: water supply regulation, water quality regulation, and moderation of extreme events. This paper recommends the utilization of EbAs over grey infrastructure-based solutions in adaptation to climate change in the water management sector for the developing region due its cost effectiveness, ecofriendliness, and multiple benefits received on long-term scales. The findings of this study will unequivocally contribute to filling existing knowledge and research gaps in the context of EbAs to future climate change in Sri Lanka. The suggestions and opinions of this study can be taken into account by decision makers and water resources planning agencies for future planning of actions related to climate change adaptation in Sri Lanka.
