II. Climate Change Assessment and Projection
9
Projections using 2 GCM models, CCSR and CSIRO, and two emission scenarios, SRESA2 & SRESB1 (Cambodia’s Initial National Communication 2002): Cambodia’s temperature would increase up
to 1.35 - 2.50C in 2100 Annual rainfall would increase between 3
and 35% from current condition and lowland areas seem to be more affected than highland areas.

Finding• Based on data 1960-2000, Cambodian climate (rainfall and temperature) has
already change, and the future rainfall pattern will continue to change depending on emission scenarios
• Under high emission scenarios (SRESA2) – DS rainfalls DJF and MAM will decrease with high probability and WS JJA
and SON rainfall may increase but with lower probability than the DS rainfall. This suggests that the onset of rainy season may delay in the future under this emission scenario.
– WS rainfall JJA and SON will decrease until 2025 and then increase again in 2050 and 2080
• Under low emission scenarios (SRESB1)– Similar with SRESA2 DS rainfall will decrease but with lower probability.– Different with SRESA2, WS rainfall JJA will increase in 2025 and then
decrease again in 2050 and 2080• Change in rainfall pattern will affect many sectors. Adaptation studies and
pilots projects at local levels must be developed and implemented• Global community achievement in reducing GHG emission will have different
implication on Cambodia

Adaptation Options for Agriculture • As Cambodia, addressing climate change problem
should be done by increasing adaptive capacity to the changing climate and the resilience to the future climate and at the same time also contributing to the reduction of GHG emission,
• In the context of adaptation: – (i) short term the efforts should be directed to increase
coping capacity to current climate risks through the improvement of climate risk management and community livelihood,
– (ii) long term the efforts should be directed to increase the resilience of the agriculture system to future climate risks through the revitalization of long term policies and planning by taking into account climate change.

Implications and Recommendation• Under future climate (2025 and 2050), planting index is
impossible to increase to more than 1.0 without developing irrigation facilities. Most of agriculture area will have growing period of less than 5 month.
• Establishment of irrigation facilities has to be prioritized, particularly in areas in which growing period would be equal of less than 2 months.
• In 2080, most of agriculture areas would have growing period of more than 5-7 months. Under SRESA2, total area with this growing period will be wider than that of the current condition
• Ministry of Agriculture might need to consider the climate change in developing plan for establishment of irrigation facilities.
• Impact of climate and land use changes on rivers’ flow may need to be evaluated to establish climate proof land use plan and reservoirs system.

The Cambodian NAPA consists of 39
‘no-regret’ adaptation projects
which focus on measures that have
direct impacts on the livelihoods of
local people, in particular the
poorest.

2. Cambodia Climate Change Strategic Plan (CCCSP) (1)
VisionCambodia develops towards a greener, climate resilient, equitable, sustainable and knowledge-based society.
MISSIONCreating a national framework for engaging public and private sectors, and civil society in a participatory process for responding to climate change to support sustainable development. Goals:•Reducing vulnerability to climate change impacts of critical (natural and societal) systems and most vulnerable groups •Shifting towards a green development path by promoting low-carbon development and technologies.Timeframe10 years with 5 years revision in line with the NSDP mandate
34
Strategic objectives:
1. Promote climate resilience through improving food, water and energy security.
2. Reduce sectoral, regional and gender vulnerability to climate change impacts.
3. Ensure climate resilience of critical ecosystems (Great Lake, Mekong River, coastal ecosystems, highlands etc.), biodiversity, protected areas and cultural heritage.
4. Promote low-carbon planning and technologies to support sustainable development of the country.
5. Improve capacities, knowledge and awareness for climate change response.6. Promote adaptive social protection and participatory approaches in
reducing loss and damage.7. Strengthen institutions and coordination frameworks for national climate
change responses.8. Strengthen collaboration and active participation in regional and global
climate change processes.

IWRM is the tool for CC adaptation• IWRM is defined as a process that promotes the coordinated
development and management of water, land and related resources to maximise the resultant economic and social welfare in an equitable manner, without compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystems.
• IWRM is an integrated approach to balance water availability and water demand, so that access to water resources among different uses and users can be equitable, fair and economically efficient. It is also intended to ensure that water use is sustainable, taking into consideration ecosystem requirements for water.
37
Conclusion
• The RGC is committed to addressing the CC challenges but faces many constraints: limited HR; limited awareness; a lack of data, research, analysis, technology, financial resources, policy & strategic plan
• However, the opportunities for implementing adaptation and mitigation measures are considered to be excellent: increasing CC financing (fast track, Green Climate Fund, GEF, AF, LDCF, Bilateral, private sector, etc.), RGC’s commitment to green growth aligns with mitigation activies such as CDM, OBMC, PoA, REDD+, etc.
