Resumen
Descripción
The purpose of this report is to help
Cambodia’s policy makers and stakeholders prepare for future
El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events. It does this by
providing information on ENSO’s poverty, economic, and
agricultural impacts in Cambodia and outlining ways forward.
The report finds that ENSO’s impacts vary from region to
region and harm Cambodia’s people, economy, and agricultural
sector. The country has made inroads in preparing for
climate events like floods and other natural disasters, but
more could be done to prepare for ENSO specifically. Being
proactive to prepare for ENSO in Cambodia is important
because of the country’s high exposure to climate shocks,
the prominence of the agricultural sector in the national
economy, the large rural population and its climate vulnerability.
