Projects

Title: Cambodia livestock GHG inventory and climate change response capacity development (CaLGICC)

Funded by: Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) and Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), New Zealand

Delivered by: NZAGRC

This project aims to (1) Strengthen institutional and technical capacities for livestock GHG inventory compilation, management and reporting; and (2) Strengthen capacities in the livestock sector to take effective actions in response to climate change. A Tier 1 inventory (all livestock species) has been compiled using the IPCC 2019 Refinement. The project will also compile inventories of GHG emissions from cattle and pigs using the IPCC Tier 2 method. RUA will collect data from household surveys on pig and cattle management and performance, and will measure pig gross energy intake and cattle methane emissions in experiments. The Tier 2 inventory will be used to assess GHG mitigation potential of different technical options in the context of Cambodia’s NDC. Adaptation priorities and option in the pig and cattle sub-sectors will also be assessed.

Organisations receiving support: General Directorate of Animal Health and Production, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries; Royal University of Agriculture (RUA)

Dates: Ongoing (2022 - 2025)

Project focus areas: Reporting, Foundation of GHG Inventories (includes capability building in institutional arrangements, cross cutting issues, use of IPCC guidelines), National Determined Contributions, Research & Development (includes developing country specific emission factors), Data collection/improvement.

Title: Strengthening capacity in the agricultural and land use sectors for enhanced transparency in implementation and monitoring of Cambodia’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC)

Funded by: CBIT Trust Fund Implemented by: FAO

Since 2020, Cambodia has been preparing reports for the UNFCCC under the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) of the Paris Agreement. These reports include strengthened components for the agriculture and land use sectors, such as inventories of emissions sources and sinks, and the information necessary to track progress against the priority actions identified in Cambodia’s NDC for these sectors.

Under the GEF-CBIT project, Cambodian stakeholders were trained for increasing their capacity to address the ETF requirements. Read more on the project activities.
