Climate change has become one of the greatest risks facing humanity and a high priority of
global concern in the 21st Century. As the earth continues to heat up, the severity of climate
change impacts on global socio-economic development and environmental sustainability
continue to intensify and amplify, prompting the need to seek urgent solutions.


Southeast Asia continues to face increasing threats from climate change, with increasing loss of
human lives and significant damage to economic development and natural resources. We have
all observed the alarming trends of more frequent and intensified floods, droughts, saline
intrusion and extreme weather events, especially over the last decade. Research and study
have indicated this trend is projected to further increase by the end of this century. Therefore,
climate change has become a primary issue, requiring urgent attention in designing appropriate
climate change policies, strategies and actions as responses at the global, regional, national and
sub-national levels.


Having ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in
1996, Cambodia has actively participated with the international community in the effort to
address climate-related issues. However, the country remains highly vulnerable to the impacts
of climate change due to its high dependency on climate-sensitive sectors such as agriculture,
water resources, forestry, fisheries, tourism, etc., which form the critical foundation of its
economic growth and support the livelihoods of a great majority of its population. It is
