PIMS-9682 Building resilient livelihoods through nature-based solutions in the Tonle Sap Basin and Siem Reap/Phnom Kulen landscape (MOE-LDCF)

About this project

The Tonle Sap Basin (TSB), a vital economic and cultural region in Cambodia, is facing significant impacts from climate change hazards such as rising temperatures, altered rainfall patterns (dryer dry seasons, wetter wet seasons), and more frequent droughts and floods. These hazards — combined with accelerating forest degradation and unsustainable land management practices (such as expanding agriculture and inadequate water conservation agriculture practices) — disrupt hydrological cycles, threaten water resources and agricultural productivity, and undermine natural resource-based livelihoods and tourism, a key economic sector. As a result, communities are resorting to maladaptive practices, such as expanding agriculture into forest areas; ultimately worsening environmental degradation.
