The Asian Development Bank, with support from the Government of Japan through the Japan Fund for Prosperous and Resilient Asia and the Pacific, is working with the International Centre for Environmental Management and World Agroforestry, to help implement the regional technical assistance (TA) project, Investing in Climate Change Adaptation through Agroecological Landscape Restoration: A Nature-Based Solution for Climate Resilience in Cambodia and the Philippines. As the official focal agency for the project in Cambodia, the TA is working closely with the Ministry of Environment of the Royal Government of Cambodia.

The project’s emphasis is on forest restoration, agroforestry, and agroecology as critical strategies for climate change and disaster resilience. It focuses on restoration activities within the headwaters of the Sangker River basin and Samlaut Multiple Use Area, located to the west of the Tonle Sap Lake.

This web-based geospatial decision support system is one of the TA’s key outputs that incorporates the analytical outputs from the project to strengthen integrated management of the Sangker River Basin. It aims to support government planners and disaster risk practitioners in addressing climate-related threats such as extreme flood, drought, erosion, heat stress, and wildfire events, in the Sangker River basin.
