For the Climate Change Department of the Ministry of Environment, with the support of the Cambodia Climate Change Alliance (European Union, UNDP, SIDA, DANIDA), Action IEC produced an official climate change visibility video. The video aims to draw attention to the key vulnerabilities of Cambodia and explains how the country has prepared a cross sector based response to the issue. Armed with a National Climate Change Committee, Cambodia is one of the most advanced countries in terms of climate change policy frameworks.
As explained in the film, there is no second chance for Cambodia. Mainstreaming climate change has to be done right and it has to be done from the very start. Over 21 ministries are part of the NCCC - and among these, over 9 key line ministries has fully integrated climate change approaches in their respective national strategies. The film reveals the benefits of this cross ministerial and cross sector approach: climate change is now mainstreamed in the most relevant sectors - helping sub-national level administrations to better address the issue.
The film ends on a key message: Cambodia has fulfilled its role and international mandate to mainstream climate change at policy level - this has already a strong impact on the way local administrations and people can adapt to climate change. The main issue is now to fund the response at local levels.
