Low Carbon Development Strategy for Cambodia toward 2050 ‐ A Preliminary Study ‐ This report introduces an ongoing study on systematic and quantitative design of low carbon develop‐ ment action in Cambodia. The main objective of this study is to formulate and propose a concrete low carbon development strategy in Cambodia towards 2050 and to engage research collaboration be‐ tween the Royal Government of Cambodia and the research institutes in Japan. This research is being conducted in a collaboration between the Ministry of environment and Royal University of Agricul‐ ture, Cambodia and Kyoto University (KU), Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES), and National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES), Japan. Why does Cambodia need Low Carbon Development? Low‐Carbon Development is a guiding prin‐ ciple and strategy to turn the challenges into opportunities so that Cambodia can make headway to‐ wards sustainable economic growth and environmental sustainability with mitigating GHG emissions into the atmosphere. How is the Low Carbon Development Strategy developed in Cambodia? This study so far has identiϐied the Four Policies : Policy 1: Green Environment Policy 2: Harmonization of Green Economy, Society and Culture Policy 3: Blue Economy Policy 4: Eco‐Village to achieve low carbon development in Cambodia, and to attain the Four Policies, a dozen strategies
