柬埔寨在金边举行全国咨询会议，呼吁在COP31前获得更具预测

[来源: CIR] [分类提示: NEWS] 标题: Cambodia Seeks Predictable Climate Finance Ahead of COP31 as Development Status Changes Cambodia Investment Review Cambodia is calling for more predictable climate finance and continued access to concessional funding as it prepares for COP31, with civil society groups warning that the country’s planned graduation from least developed country status could complicate efforts to fund climate adaptation. The priorities emerged from a national consultation in Phnom Penh on Wednesday, convened by the NGO Forum on Cambodia in partnership with Oxfam. About 80 representatives from government, civil society, communities, academia, businesses and development partners attended. The meeting was intended to help shape a coordinated Cambodian position for COP31, scheduled for Nov. 9–20 in Antalya, Türkiye. Participants discussed how the country can pursue its climate commitments while protecting livelihoods, food security and economic development. Financing the transition A central concern was whether Cambodia can retain access to affordable climate funding as it moves toward graduation from least developed country status. Participants called for more grant-based adaptation finance, easier access to the Loss and Damage Fund, and technical support for implementing Cambodia’s third Nationally Determined Contribution, or NDC 3.0.
