Cambodia - Deliver a Tier 2 GHG inventory for the agriculture sector

This project responds to the request by Cambodia’s Ministry of Environment and Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fishery for services to strengthen the foundation for agriculture methane mitigation action to support the Clean Air Action Plan and future reporting to the UNFCCC on NDC implementation.

Project reference: Cambodia - Deliver a Tier 2 GHG inventory for the agriculture sector [KH-22-004]

Objectives

The project aims to achieve the following by its completion: 

  • The Government of Cambodia endorses the mitigation assessment for the agriculture sector 
  • The Government of Cambodia includes actions to mitigate methane from the agriculture sector in its Clean Air Action Plan 
  • The Government of Cambodia has increased capacity for greenhouse gas emissions inventory development through updated and improved methane emission estimates for the agriculture sector that can be fed into future UNFCCC reporting. 
What we're doing

 

The main project deliverables are: 

  • A report presenting the process for developing a comprehensive Tier 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emission inventory, including a summary of the data sources used (national and international sources), major data gaps, processing procedures, and recommendations about the organizations from which indicator data can be obtained for the agriculture sector 
  • A Tier 2 agriculture GHG emission inventory 
  • A capacity building workshop to support the Tier 2 GHG inventory, applying IPCC Tier 2 methods and associated guidelines and tools (e.g., excel spreadsheets) and providing open-access Tier 2 agriculture GHG emission inventory 
  • A climate change mitigation assessment for the agriculture sector that identifies the most effective methods to reduce methane and the co-benefits for health, and air pollution
