<p>The PDP outlines a comprehensive long-term plan for Cambodia's power sector that includes forecasts of demand, expansion of generation, and a plan for transmission and distribution from 2022 until 2040. The plan will oversee a rapid expansion of renewable energy resources.</p>

The Ministry Mines and Energy (MME) has developed the Climate Change Action Plan for 2016-2018 following the guidance of the Council of Ministers and with support from the National Council for Sustainable Development (NCSD) and technical and financial support from Cambodia Climate Change Alliance (CCCA).&nbsp;<br><br>The plan defines concret actions and resources needed for the implementation of the MME's responso to climate change providing direction on a number of issues which are critical to the sectors' development, including climate proofing of future energy infrastructure, decoupling economic growth and sectors' future development from GHG emissions.&nbsp;<br><br>The plan establishes the following priorities: 1) to identify environmental friendly technology in the extraction of metallic mineral from ore; 2) to formulate and analyse the emission base line with the implementation of adaptation and mitigation measures in the energy and mines sectors; 3) to encourage effective use of energy with minimal impact on the environment; 4) to undertake climate change vulnerability assessment of the energy infrastructures with adaptation measures; 5) to increase institutional capacity for adaptation and mitigation response; 6) to develop a legal and regulatory framework for the energy sector; 7) to strengthen capacity to mitigate environmental impacts; 8) to ensure reliability of electricity supply; 9) to promote the exploration of energy sources (hydropower, natural gas and coal for the electricity generation); 10) to promote regional energy trade through bi-and multi-lateral cooperation.&nbsp;

"This document aims to accelerate the governance reform in Cambodia by developing 1) human resources, 2) the private sector and jobs, 3) inclusivity and sustainability, and 4) economic diversification. The strategy states that 1. the government must give priority to the National Strategic Plan on Green Growth 2013-2030”, “Cambodia Climate Change Strategic Plan 2014-2023”, “National Environment Strategy and Action Plan 2016-2023”, “National REDD+ Strategy, and use social and environmental fund effectively to ensure economic development with low-carbon emission and resilience to climate change. 2. Further strengthening the management of protected areas, biodiversity conservation, natural resource conservation, especially the ecosystems of Tonle Sap lake, Mekong river and the coastline areas. 3. Further strengthening the management of solid waste, waste water, gas and lethal substance by implementing principles of reduction, reuse, recycling and non-use as well as strengthening pollution monitoring and control mechanism and control. 4. Promoting resource efficiency and sustainability by implementing the principle of sustainable consumption and production. 5. Increasing the usage of environmental-friendly and climate-friendly technologies in physical infrastructure and socio-economic development. 6. Continuing to promote the implementation of carbon trading mechanisms and related regulatory frameworks, strengthen the capabilities to develop and implement climate change adaptation and resiliency measures as well as explore the possibility of studying financial resiliency to respond to disasters caused by climate change. 7. Further promoting the development and implementation of integrated water resource management plan in order to expand water supply in response to demand, minimize the risks caused by flood and drought, as well as to ensure long-term water security. 8. Continuing to encourage and increase investment in clean energy and renewable energy, especially solar power while reducing the production of energy from unclean sources to ensure long-term energy security. 9. Continuing to strengthen regulatory framework, research, as well as development of skill and capacity for national and sub-national official in terms of environment, green development, climate change, integrated water resource management, and the usage of natural resources in a sustainable manner."

This document aims at identifying the main needs and opportunities to protect the country's environment and national resources. Its strategic goals are to strenghten cross-sectoral collaboration, improve resources use, develop financing mechanisms and raise public awareness.

The purpose of the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) Financing Framework and Implementation Plan is to bring the National Adaptation Plan process in Cambodia closer to its execution and with a specific aim to increase the possibilities for Cambodia to access additional adaptation finance.&nbsp;<br><br>The lack of financing is a key barrier to the implementation of climate change adaptation measures in Cambodia, thus supporting efforts to mobilise more funds is critical. This document aims to improve access to additional funding in order to contribute to the endeavour of the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) in responding to the negative impacts of climate change through a reduction of its vulnerabilities.

The NSDP, promulgated by law, is a planning document detailing Cambodia's strategy to achieve a wide range of development targets over the period 2019-2023. These include a curbing of deforestation and a strenghtening of renewable energy sources.<br><br>The document states the following goals with regard to climate change:&nbsp;<br>Decentralization&nbsp; of&nbsp; functions&nbsp; and&nbsp; resources&nbsp; to&nbsp; sub-national&nbsp; levels&nbsp; to&nbsp; strengthen ownership in order to ensure the sustainability of environmental and natural resources</div><div>Promoting climate change resilience and facilitate the progress of building a society&nbsp; that releases low carbon.</div><div>Developing&nbsp; a&nbsp; roadmap&nbsp; for&nbsp; implementing&nbsp; the&nbsp; National Determined&nbsp; Contributions (NDC) for the&nbsp; implementation&nbsp; of&nbsp; the&nbsp; United&nbsp; Nations&nbsp; Framework&nbsp; Convention&nbsp; on Climate Change

The objective of this law is to regulate disaster management in the Kingdom of Cambodia.&nbsp;<br>More precisely, it deals with 1) Prevention, adaptation and mitigation in the pre-disaster period, due to natural or human-made causes, 2) Emergency response during the disaster, and 3) Recovery in the post-disaster period.<br>&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;The Law further creates the National Committee for Disaster Management. Sub-committees at national and regional levels will ensure the completion of the Committee's missions. On July 22, 2020, the National Committee for Disaster Management launched the Platform for Real-time Impact and Situation Monitoring (PRISM).
