The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is investing $3.9 million in the Supporting Forests and Biodiversity Project, which aims to reduce the impacts of climate change and encourage low emission development through improved conservation and governance of priority forest landscapes in Cambodia. Activities will include sub-national efforts to reduce emissions from deforestation, conserve biodiversity, and build capacity to improve decision-making and resolve conflicts among stakeholders. The project will provide national-level technical support to help the Cambodian government achieve development priorities related to climate change mitigation and adaptation. The project will work to decrease the rate of deforestation in Cambodia and reduce annual greenhouse gas emissions in Cambodia by at least 1.5 million metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent.
