Fast-Tracking The SDGs Driving ASIA-ASIA-PACIFIC Transformations
ឯកសារពិគ្រោះ
As this report is published, the world grapples with the COVID-19 pandemic. Even before it hit, the Asia-Pacific region was progressing too slowly on delivering the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Prospects for success will be influenced by the region’s response and recovery strategies. Trans formative approaches that will also address the climate crisis, halt environmental degradation and reduce inequalities are needed.

Cambodia and ASIAN Development Bank Partnership for inclusive Growth
ឯកសារពិគ្រោះ
During the last 20 years, Cambodia has achieved remarkable economic development with an
average growth rate of above 7%. The country attained lower middle income status in early
July 2016. The poverty rate declined significantly from about 50% in 2007 to 13.5% in 2014.
The greatest reduction in poverty was in rural areas, but most people who escaped poverty did so only by a small margin. More than 70% of Cambodians still live on less than $3 a day and remain vulnerable to falling back into poverty

ASIAN DEVELOPMENT Outlook 2020
ឯកសារពិគ្រោះ
After a disappointing 2019, growth prospects in developing Asia have worsened under the impact of the current health crisis. Signs of incipient recovery near the turn of this year were quickly overthrown as COVID-19 broke out in January 2020 in the region’s largest economy and subsequently expanded into a global pandemic. Disruption to regional and global supply chains, trade, and tourism, and the continued spread of the outbreak, leave the region reeling under massive economic shocks and financial turmoil. Across Asia, the authorities are responding with policies to contain the outbreak, facilitate medical interventions, and support vulnerable businesses and households. Assuming that the outbreak is contained
this year, growth is expected to recover in 2021.

Climate Change Strategic Plan For Education
ឯកសារពិគ្រោះ
Climate change may affect the education sector directly through increased frequency and/ or severity of extreme weather events, and perhaps even more so through a range of socio-economic impacts. Extreme weather events may lead to damages of educational and other key infrastructure that is necessary for the functioning of the education sector, resulting in temporary or more lasting
disruption in the provision of educational services.

The CCAP 2016 – 2018, developed under the overall coordination of the Ministry of Environment, counted with the active participation of all its departments and with the invaluable guidance from National Council for Sustainable Development. Their participation made the action plan more strategic, coherent and aligned both with the MoE’s programs, plans and policies, and with national development goals. The suggestions and comments received from peer reviews and from numerous stakeholders provided further strategic inputs for development of the CCAP 2016 – 2018. A wide range of technical support was provided by several national and
international climate change experts to the development of the CCAP

Cambodia Environment Outlook
ឯកសារពិគ្រោះ
Cambodia is predominantly a low-lying country that occupies the central plains of the lower Mekong basin and is bordered on three sides by dense forested mountainous ranges. Forest in Cambodia tends to be located on the country’s periphery while paddy cultivation is the norm to the lowland areas. Forest is one of the most important economic and environmental resources of the country and an important source of government revenue and employment for the local people. Cambodia’s forests provide a variety of timber and non-timber products such as wildlife, fuel wood and medicinal plants. About a third of Cambodia’s forests (all of it in the evergreen category) are considered commercially attractive (DFW, 2003). Cambodia’s location in the tropical monsoon zone accounts for marked biological richness of the forests.
Complex interrelationships exist between the country’s forest cover and unique hydrological systems of the Mekong River and Tonle Sap Lake.

ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS ON ECONOMIC GROWTH IN CAMBODIA
ឯកសារពិគ្រោះ
Cambodia is highly vulnerable to climate change (CC). Rising temperatures are expected to reduce productivity in agriculture, fisheries and forests and to reduce labor productivity across most sectors. Changing rainfall patterns will lead to increased flooding, drought and storms which will also reduce resource productivity, especially in agriculture and fisheries, and increase damage from extreme events, affecting roads, water supply and other infrastructure. Rising sea levels will cause flooding and storm damage in coastal areas, affecting urban areas and natural resources

Development Prospects of the ASEAN Power Sector
ឯកសារពិគ្រោះ
Investment in additional generating capacity and grids that is both sustainable and cost-effective will be the biggest challenge in meeting the expected growth in demand of the power sector in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries. At present, both the availability and the affordability of fuel supply are being prioritized over environmental sustainability; hence fossil fuels, particularly coal- and gas-fired turbines, dominate the fuel mix. Efforts to use energy resources effectively are hampered by the uneven distribution of these resources and different levels/rates of investment and economic development among ASEAN member countries. Sufficient financial resources, enabling governance environments, and regional co-ordination are critical drivers for reliable, sustainable and affordable power systems.

Pathways to Paris: Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Technology and Policy Options to Reduce GHG Emissions
ឯកសារពិគ្រោះ
The world is facing a serious threat from global climate change. In the Paris Agreement, 195
Nations have agreed to national greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions as a first step toward limiting the global temperature rise to less than 2 degrees Celsius (C) relative to the pre-industrial temperature. Reaching this goal will require a transformation of the global energy system over several decades. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries face the challenge of reducing GHG emissions while at the same time expanding energy supply to meet the needs of their rapidly developing economies. To help them address this challenge, we use a variety of analytical tools—including country-specific, economy-wide models for selected countries—to understand the ASEAN countries’ emissions trajectory in both business-as-usual and climate policy scenarios. We also offer a discussion of policy instruments and technologies in the energy sector that can assist ASEAN countries in achieving their emission mitigation targets. This assessment is enhanced by collaboration with representatives of the ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE). By maintaining an open dialogue on the data and policies incorporated in our projections and by providing all input data and tools used in our analysis in an open source format, we hope to enhance the capacity of ASEAN economies to analyze their pathways to meeting their energy, electrification, and emissions goals.

Energy is key to the realization of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which calls for a well-connected ASEAN to drive an integrated, competitive and resilient region. ASEAN is now one of the most dynamic an fastest growing economic regions in the world is expected to continue. The region is projected to grow by at least 4% per year on average over the next five years, but could be as high as 6% – provided ASEAN moves towards greater integration, where member states continuously implement domestic structural reforms to raise their productivity and competitiveness under the framework of the ACE.
