To advocate for increased CSO participation in the development of the 2025 Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC3.0), the NGO Forum on Cambodia (NGOF) organized the second Consultation Workshop for CSOs on March 19, 2025, in Siem Reap Province.
Representing the ICRC project, the Communication and Engagement Officer, alongside MEAL Officers from CEPA and DPA, participated in the workshop, which aimed to enhance civil society engagement in the climate policy. This workshop provided a crucial platform for CSOs to bridge the gap between government policies and local communities, ensuring that climate actions align with the needs and rights of vulnerable populations, including indigenous groups, women, and persons with disabilities.
In response to the Ministry of Environment’s (MoE) call for broader and more inclusive stakeholder input, NGOF, along with its members and partners, collaborated to develop a concrete roadmap for contributing to NDC3.0. The workshop brought together 43 participants, including representatives from NGOs, CBOs, and LGBTQIA+ groups. Their collective expertise in advocacy, capacity-building, and grassroots mobilization strengthens policy implementation, making climate strategies more effective and socially just.
