Cambodia - National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA)
Leading Organization:
Executing Agency:
Implementing Agency:
Summary:
National adaptation programmes of action (NAPAs) provide a process for Least Developed Countries (LDCs) to identify priority activities that respond to their urgent and immediate needs to adapt to climate change – those for which further delay would increase vulnerability and/or costs at a later stage. The following summarizes the NAPA for Cambodia.
Climate Related Hazards
- Flooding (flash)
- Salt water intrusion
- Coastal zone inundation
- Drought and low flows
- Windstorms
- Storm surge
Main Human Vulnerabilities and Livelihood Impacts
- Reduced agricultural production
- Water shortage and/or groundwater depletion
- Increased disease and/or other health problems
Priority Adaptation Projects
- Rehabilitation of a multiple-use reservoir in Takeo Province
- Rehabilitation of a multiple-use dams in Takeo & Kampong Speu Provinces
- Community & household water supply in coastal provinces
- Development and rehabilitation of flood protection dikes
- Rehabilitation of Upper Mekong & Provincial waterways
- Rehabilitation of multiple-use canals Banteay Meas District, Kampot Province
- Vegetation planting for flood & windstorm protection
- Strengthening of community disaster preparedness & response capacity
- Water gates & water culverts construction
- Safe water supply for rural communities
- Development & improvement of small-scale aquaculture ponds
- Promotion of household integrated farming
- Rehabilitation of coastal protection infrastructure
- Development & improvement of community irrigation systems
- Community mangrove restoration & sustainable use of natural resources
- Community-based agriculture soil conservation in Srea Ambel District, Koh Kong Province
- Production of biopesticides
- Development of healthcare centres & posts
- Provision of safe water in high risk malaria regions
- Malaria education & mosquito habitat clearance campaigns
Expected Outputs:
The main objective of the NAPA is to identify priority activities and urgent actions needed by a Least Developed Country (LDC) to expand the current coping range and enhance resilience in a way that would promote the capacity to adapt to current climate variability and extremes, and consequently to future climate change.
