The Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) has already taken several initial steps for advancing her National Adaption Plan (NAP) by supported from the UNDP, UNEP and Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) in 2013, to identify entry points for the Government to institutionalize Cambodia’s National Adaptation Plan (NAP) process. Since then, the country has utilized the NAP process aims to identify and address the vulnerabilities in key sectors, including agriculture, water resource, forest ecosystem, fisheries; infrastructure; health and coastal zones; and. The stocktaking report and recommendations for a NAP roadmap subsequently informed the development of three essential documents, including the National Adaptation Plan Process in Cambodia 2017, the Cambodia National Adaption Plan Framework and Implementation Plan 2017, and the Cambodia National Adaptation Plan Communication Strategy 2018. The NAP process has therefore been used to identify ways to improve adaptation planning at both local and national levels. Building on these efforts, the project contributes to addressing gaps and barriers that have already been observed and well documented, including data and information challenges; sectoral issues; subnational issues; and communication issues.
