🌿 April 23–24, 2026 — The CamAdapt Project, led by the Ministry of Environment, convened a training workshop on “Gender Mainstreaming and Climate Change for Subnational Administrations and Coastal Communities,” drawing about 40 participants, including 23 women.

⭐ Presided over by H.E. Kop Roly, undersecretary of state at the Ministry of Environment,​ and Mr. Long Sona Director of Department of Climate Change  the workshop focused on strengthening the integration of gender considerations into environmental management and climate response efforts at the local level.

Participants exchanged knowledge and practical experiences on climate adaptation and mitigation measures aimed at promoting sustainable natural resource management and building resilience in coastal communities.

🧩 A key outcome of the training was the strengthened incorporation of gender perspectives into community protected area and fisheries management plans, as well as commune and sangkat development and investment plans. The sessions also enhanced local capacity for implementation, monitoring and inclusive decision-making.
