Cambodia ‘s coastal fishing communities are amongst the most vulnerable, due largely to high dependence on natural resources, direct exposure to climate vectors (i.e. storms, sea level rise and changing rainfall), overall poverty, remoteness and marginalization. Women have even less adaptive options available to them, as traditionally they have less influence over the decision-making processes, including those related to climate adaptation. The project will build on baseline of existing policy, legal, and technical measures and investments and provide additional financing to generate effective adaptation models and establish support frameworks that empower vulnerable communities, as the anticipated challenges and costs to address them will increase with climate change.
