Cambodia National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA)
Project Overview
National Adaptation Programmes of Action (NAPAs) provide a process for Least Developed Countries (LDCs) to identify priority activities that respond to their immediate needs to adapt to climate change, ultimately leading to the implementation of projects aimed at reducing the economic and social costs of climate change.
The Climate Related Hazards identified in Cambodia's National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA) include:
- Flooding (flash)
- Salt water intrusion
- Coastal zone inundation
- Drought and low flows
- Windstorms
- Storm surge
Project Details
Climate Related Hazards:

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.
