Working with the Ministry of Environment (MoE) of the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC), the International Centre for Environmental Management (ICEM) is supporting implementation of ADB Technical Assistance (TA) 6539 - Investing in Climate Change Adaptation through Agroecological Landscape Restoration: A Nature-Based Solution for Climate Resilience. The project is working together with MoE, local government and communities to target restoration activities within the headwaters of the Sangker River basin and Samlaut Multiple Use Area located to the west of the Tonle Sap Lake across Pailin and Battambang provinces. The emphasis is on forest restoration, agroforestry and agroecology as critical strategies for flood and drought and climate change resilience.

As one output, the TA is developing a web-based geospatial decision support system (this DSS website) that incorporates the analytical outputs from the project to strengthen integrated management of the Sangker River basin. The DSS will aid government planners and disaster risk practitioners address climate related threats in the Sangker River basin, including from extreme flood, drought, erosion and sedimentation, heat stress, and wildfire events.
