• News 15 September 2022 Sustainable charcoal saves rainforests Charcoal is a major cooking fuel in Cambodia and throughout the world. However, its production has been linked to threatening pristine rainforest and driving deforestation in many developing countries. Primarily because the production of charcoal in developing countries is largely reliant on illegal logging of natural forests. Nonetheless, a quick replacement with emission free cooking - like electric cooking based on 100% renewables – is impossible. The scale of the challenge is simply too big…
• News 10 September 2021 Cambodia uses transparency to create policies for national demands and international standards To help aid the effective implementation of the Paris Agreement and tracking of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), UNEP DTU Partnership, through the Initiative for Climate Action Transparency (ICAT), has been supporting the government of Cambodia to enhance its transparency framework. Building on the success of the first project phase, which helped develop a Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) system in the renewable energy sector, UNEP DTU Partnership and ICAT are supporting…
• News 3 March 2021 Milestone for sustainable charcoal in Cambodia The reputation of charcoal is not among the best, and in most instances, this is well deserved as most of it stems from illegal and unsustainable logging and its manufacture, if not managed properly, is highly polluting. Not so in the KjuonGo project in Cambodia. KjuonGo charcoal directly replaces illegally logged charcoal and it is produced in model kilns that ensure a carbon footprint much less than with the use of traditional charcoal or simple fuelwood. At the same time, KjuonGo charcoal,…
• News 14 January 2020 It's time for sustainable barbecues There is nothing like a good barbecue, is there? If you think so, you're not the only one. In fact charcoal is a major cooking fuel throughout the world and is threatening pristine rainforest in many countries. Unfortunately it is another fact, that we will not be able to replace charcoal with emission free cooking - like electric cooking based on 100% renewables - any time soon. Based on this, Nordic Climate Facility has decided to fund a 'sustainable charcoal' project in Cambodia. As a…
• Project 18 December 2018 Capacity Development for CDM (CD4CDM) Project The CD4CDM created an enabling business and regulatory environment that was conducive for identification, preparation, approval, financing and implementation of Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects in the target countries.

• Project 7 November 2018 CDM Loan Scheme   The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Loan Scheme was conceived as a means to improve the regional distribution of the CDM by enhancing the number of registered CDM activities in under-represented countries. The CDM Loan Scheme has been instrumental to support the increased participation to the CDM by countries with less than 10 registered CDM projects in underrepresented regions. As agreed by Parties at the Copenhagen Climate Conference in 2009 the loans are provided interest-free from…
• Project 26 October 2018 Initiative for Climate Action Transparency (ICAT) The Initiative for Climate Action Transparency (ICAT) aims to strengthen capacities in developing countries to assess the impacts of their climate policies and actions and to support greater transparency, effectiveness, ambition and trust in climate policies worldwide. The Initiative works with countries to build capacities on understanding and applying tools and approaches to measure, report and verify (MRV) greenhouse gas emissions reductions and adaptation action, as well as to strengthen…
