becomes an environmental problem for the entire world. It tends to occur global warming. The world's climate always varied naturally, but the climate change largely variates due to the concentration of "greenhouse gases" in the earth's atmosphere since the industrial revolution began. Now overriding this natural variability and leading to irreversible climate changes. If no climate policy interventions are implemented or modified, future climate changes will be caused by harmful effects on Sri Lanka islands. This study focuses on discussing the Sri Lankan contribution to global warming from industries. Here mainly discussed four industries' GHG emission sources and further aim to discuss the Sri Lankan rules and regulations and implementation options

behavior of climate that may be extended for a period of decade or longer. Its impact on the environment is devastating if the same trend of carbon emission is followed (IPCC 2021). Therefore it necessitates finding out the effect of climate change in future, certainly 30 years in future. Climatic models such as General Circulation Models (GCMs) are used to check this impact on the ocean. Dissolved Oxygen is one of the most important parameter which decides the pollution level of the water. Water quality along the coast line of major cities across the world is at its worst due to the addition of unwanted pollutants to the sea water. Therefore in the present study it is proposed to assess the quality of ocean water by checking the Dissolved Oxygen (DO) Concentration. The general circulation models used for this study are taken from CMIP5 and CMIP6 projects. CanESM5 and NCAR CESM1-1-CAM5-CMIP5 models for hind-cast period of 1980-2010 and 2017-2027 respectively have been used for this study.

A potentially disastrous process is being aided by rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels in addition to the effects of climate change. With a capacity to hold around one-third of all manmade carbon dioxide emissions, the oceans constitute the planet's largest carbon sink. More CO2 is absorbed by the ocean as air concentration rises, which results in a drop in seawater's pH and an increase in its acidity. Coral reefs, shellfish, and the plankton that serve as the foundation of the ocean's food chain are already in danger due to the changing chemistry of the ocean, which will also impact some marine species' capacity to create shells and skeletons.

1. INTRODUCTION The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is an intergovernmental body of the United Nations. Its job is to advance scientific knowledge about climate change caused by human activities. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the United Nations Environment programmed (UNEP) established the IPCC in 1988. The IPCC has chosen a trajectory for greenhouse gas concentrations (not emissions), known as the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP). For the 2014 IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5), four research and simulation pathways were employed. Various climate scenarios are depicted in the pathways, all of which are thought to be feasible given the level of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the years to come. The RCPs are named after a potential range of radiative forcing levels in the year 2100 (2.6, 4.5, 6, and 8.5 W/m2, respectively). The original RCPs were RCP2.6, RCP4.5, RCP6, and RCP8.5. The original routes and Shared Socioeconomic Pathways, as well as new RCPs including RCP1.9, RCP3.4, and RCP7, have been taken into consideration since AR5.

The trend of oxygen depletion is around two to three times more rapid than what it is anticipated from the decline in solubility caused by the warming of the ocean. The heating of the near-surface waters and melting of the polar ice are most likely to blame for the changes in ocean circulation and mixing. More dissolved gas can be held in cold water than in warmer water. Therefore, it follows that as ocean surface temperatures rise, so does its ability to dissolve oxygen. However, the study's findings revealed that melting polar ice was interfering with the ocean currents that mix highly oxygenated water with subterranean water. As a result, oxygen was finding it more challenging to dissolve in the water.

The greenhouse effect simply is a natural process to balance greenhouse gas concentration throughout the atmosphere.
