Benefiting Member States
Cambodia
Cambodia is among the countries most at risk to the impacts of climate change, which increasingly affect the Cambodian people and key economic sectors. Migration has long been a central strategy for reducing household vulnerabilities to environmental risks and economic shocks, such as crop failures or loss of productive assets, by offering income generation alternatives. However, a focused discussion of the interaction between climate change and migration on the policy level has not been undertaken in Cambodia, partially due to the limited evidence available of the context-specific impacts in Cambodia.
The project's objective is to contribute to strengthening climate change responses in Cambodia through the integration of migration-related considerations into Government policy and planning. Under Outcome 1, a research report on mainstreaming environmental dimensions and linkages between climate change and migration will be made available to guide policy development in Cambodia (Output 1.1) through working closely with the climate change technical working group, establishing technical research team and conducting data collection. The project will improve the key government stakeholders’ understandings of the links between climate change and migration (Output 1.2) through validation meetings, sensitization workshops, and regular coordination meetings and capacity development activities for the member of the climate change technical group. Under Outcome 2, the project will strengthen the capacities of local authorities to avert, minimize and address displacement related to the adverse impacts of environmental and climate change (Output 2.1), and minimize and address the impacts of environmental and climate change on livelihoods in most vulnerable communities (Output 2.2).
