The National Council for Sustainable Development (NCSD), Ministry of Environment (MoE), Cambodia and the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) have been successful in securing funding from the Adaptation Fund to implementing a four-year climate change adaptation project titled “Increasing climate resilience through small-scale infrastructure investments and enhancing adaptive capacity of vulnerable communities in Kampot and Koh Kong Provinces in Cambodia.”
The overall objective of the project is to support climate resilient and adaptive development and increase the capacity for climate variability/change adaptation of target communities living in Kampot and Koh Kong Provinces. This objective will be achieved through the following specific objectives:
- To implement concrete adaptation actions that support climate resilient infrastructure in Kampot and Koh Kong Provinces to adapt to current impacts of climate change, in particular, extreme hydro-meteorological events.
- To reduce the impacts of coastal climate hazards by recovering coastal ecosystems (Ecosystem-Based Adaptation) and minimizing related socioeconomic impacts on communities.
- To enhance institutional capacity at the provincial and local level, relevant Government entities, and communities for decision-making and management of the implementation of adaptation measures/actions to address climate change and variability in Kampot and Koh Kong Provinces.
The project is structured around the following three components:
Component 1: Increasing coping capacity by promoting climate-resilient small-scale infrastructure.
Component 2: Adapting to current impacts of climate change through recovery of coastal ecosystems, and livelihood improvement and diversification, and
Component 3: Building capacity and knowledge sharing to reduce vulnerability to climate change.
