Cambodia Project
Timeframe
June 2020 to June 2025
Context
Cambodia is an agrarian economy and agriculture is a significant contributor to GDP (around 35%) and employs a large majority of the population.
Crop production accounts for around half of the sector’s GDP, and livestock around 15%. Cambodia’s updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) establishes a conditional target of 41.7% reduction of emissions by 2030.
The NZCSA Initiative supports Cambodia to develop Tier 2 emissions factors for livestock, particularly for cattle and pigs. It strengthens the capacity to compile and manage GHG inventory for an effective response to climate change in the livestock sector.
Progress
The Improvements to the inventory are supporting the development of domestic agricultural policies by establishing robust production data, identifying mitigation opportunities for livestock and tracking reductions.
