Cambodia CO2 Fuel Combustion/CO2 Emissions
In its updated NDC (2020), Cambodia aims to reduce its GHG emissions by 42% in 2030 compared to a BaU projection (i.e. -64.5 MtCO2e) with international support, representing a 50% reduction for the FOLU sector (Forestry and Other Land Use) (-38 MtCO2e) and 40% for the energy sector (-13.7 MtCO2e). It strengthened the previous NDC by including the AFOLU sector and levelling up the ambition of climate mitigation targets.
