Cambodia's Intended Nationally Determined Contribution, 2015

Cambodia, in its Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC), submits a mitigation contribution for the period of 2020-2030, for a maximum reduction of 3,100 Gg CO2eq compared to baseline emission of 11,600 Gg CO2eq by 2030. This is conditional upon availability of support from the international community. It also targets increasing forest cover to 60% of land area by 2030 with a projected sequestration of 18,492 Gg CO2eq. The INDC also identifies priority actions for the period.

The document is composed of five sections: 

• Section 1: National context, presenting national circumstances relevant to the INDC, 
• Section 2: Adaptation, covering Cambodia’s vulnerability to climate change and prioritized adaptation actions, 
• Section 3: Mitigation, including Cambodia’s intended contribution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, with information to ensure clarity, transparency and understanding, and consideration of fairness and ambition, 
• Section 4: Planning and implementation processes, with indications of the institutions, policies, strategies, and plans that will support the implementation of the INDC, and 
• Section 5: Means of implementation, with information on the support needed for the implementation of the INDC.
