Cambodia
Member Since Aug 2019
Cambodia’s updated NDC seeks to decrease emissions by 41.7 percent from the business-as-usual scenario by 2030, with half of that reduction concentrated in the Forest and Land Use Sector (FOLU) and the rest primarily in the energy, agriculture, industry, and waste sectors. Cambodia’s updated NDC also has a strong adaptation component. The NDC update process was conducted with a bottom-up approach involving 16 line ministries and was supported by the NDC Partnership Climate Action Enhancement Package (CAEP) delivered in part by UNDP and the World Bank. The work’s outcomes led to identifying 130 mitigation, adaptation and enabling actions across all sectors - forming Cambodia's Partnership Plan - of which 119 were highlighted as priorities. These priority actions were included in Cambodia’s Request for Support Letter, which was submitted in January 2021 and partners responded to jointly in March 2021. Initial support to implement the Partnership Plan is being provided by partners FAO, Germany, GGGI, IRENA, IUCN, Japan, SNV, UNCDF, UNDP, UNESCAP, and UNICEF. Additionally, the World Bank and UK are supporting the development of a Long Term Strategy for Cambodia's Carbon Neutrality, linked to the NDC. The Government of Cambodia is currently strengthening its partner coordination model for supporting NDC implementation.
