Announcement Description

The Kingdom of Cambodia has achieved sustained economic progress over the past two decades with an average annual growth rate of 7.7% and reduction of poverty rate from 47.8% in 2007 to 13.5% in 2014, shifting the country towards middle-income status in July 2016. In the medium term, Cambodia will be on the path to become an upper middle-income country leading to economic structural transformation and changing demography. With this transition, the country is at a critical stage in its development process as it determines the best approach to ensure sustainability of its economic growth, while addressing several socioeconomic and environmental challenges and reducing poverty. With Cambodia’s commitment to the 2015 Sustainable Development Agenda and the pursuit in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement on climate change, the RGC has worked to adapt the goals to the national context and has crafted a fully localized framework – the Cambodian SDGs (CSDGs). In addition to the global 17 goals, an 18th goal requiring the clearance of landmines and unexploded ordinance was added. The final framework comprises 18 CSDGs, 88 nationally relevant targets, and 148 globally and locally defined indicators

As the need to address pressures and to achieve long-term environmental sustainability, formulation of the Cambodia SCP roadmap is very significant to enhance the implementation the Strategic Framework 2018-2023 of the NCSD to foster and facilitate development and implementation of policy and strategy related to sustainable development, including climate change, green growth, natural resources and biodiversity and environment protection in all sectors for the best national interest while meeting international commitments.
