The Portfolio has built strong partnerships and effectively managed a portfolio of over 500 million USD over the last 15 years to support key initiatives with fund management, project implementation, and administrative support.

The NDC Partnership:

The NDC Partnership is a global coalition of countries and institutions collaborating to drive transformational climate action through sustainable development. Nations signal their commitments to the Paris Agreement through Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), each country’s strategy to cut its own greenhouse gas emissions and build resilience against the negative effects of a changing climate. UNOPS supports the NDC Partnership and its Support Unit through the Water, Environment, and Climate (WEC).

The country’s updated NDC seeks to decrease emissions by 41.7 percent from the business-as-usual scenario by 2030, with half of that reduction concentrated in the Forest and Land Use Sector (FOLU). The NDC update process involved 16 line ministries and was supported by the NDC Partnership Climate Action Enhancement Package (CAEP). The NDC Partnership continues to support Cambodia in its NDC implementation, including coordination and resource mobilization.
