Cambodia’s NDC 3.0, building upon the country’s climate commitments and strategies, raises ambition with stronger greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals and enhanced climate adaptation aligned to national priorities and the 1.5°C target under the Climate Paris Agreement. It aims for up to a 55% emissions reduction, which is equivalent to approximately 73.7 MtCO2e by 2035 under a conditional scenario, focusing on the Energy (including transport and manufacturing and construction), Industrial Processes and Product Use (IPPU), Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (FOLU), and Waste sectors. It also aims to strengthen resilience across vulnerable sectors, including Human health, Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Infrastructure, Livelihoods and ecosystems, Disaster and climate risk management, Social protection, social services and child protection, Food systems, and Air quality. It outlines a total of 163 measures, which are endorsed by the Line Ministries, comprising 49 mitigation measures, 75 adaptation measures, and 39 enabling measures, requiring a total estimated cost of USD 32.2 billion for the period 2026–2035.
