PURPOSE OF PROJECT

The project aims to increase resilience of coastal communities and ecosystems to climate change through adaptation planning, demonstrated targeted local interventions and provision of practical learning experience in adaptation planning to the National Climate Change Committee and Climate Change Department.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES


Sustainable Sihanoukville through Climate Change Planning and Adaptation project aims to develop capacity among government staff and local communities in order to better understand climate change through pilot project implementation in Sihanouk Ville Municipality.


PURPOSE OF PROJECT: Building capacity for integrating climate change adaptation in fisheries sector in Cambodia project focuses on three areas:

1. Raise general awareness of cause and effect of climate change impacts on aquatic ecosystems and fisheries department communities, of the need for response at national/sub-national and community level;
2. Build institutional capacity of fisheries authorities, local resource managers, and development practitioners to respond through integrating climate change into policies, plans and guidelines;
3. Demonstrate appropriate responses in fisheries sector.

The targeted Community Protected Area (CPA) communities by the project are among the most at-risk in Cambodia to the adverse impacts of climate change. Local people are very poor and located in remote community protected areas. The population is directly reliant on local forest products e.g. non-timber forest products (NTFP) and forest services for their livelihoods. The area is prone to natural disasters such as flooding, drought, and storms.

PURPOSE OF PROJECT
Adaptation to Climate Change through Alternative Livelihoods in Community Forestry project particularly focuses on building capacity within the community forestry sector through supporting effective participation of community forestry management committees and communal councils in newly established Cantonment level community forestry planning and co-ordination committees.
