This policy brief is based on the findings of a participatory research effort: Climate Change Adaptation – Factors of choice, effectiveness, and supporting systems conducted in the provinces of Koh Kong and Sihanoukville, Cambodia in late 2010 and in January of 2011.

This study is an extension of work that is supported by Asian Institute of Technology and the United Nations Environment Programme, through the Adaptation Knowledge Platform to disseminate and exchange adaptation knowledge to a wider audience. This policy brief covers the adaptive capacity gaps – where the Cambodian coast is vulnerable to climate change, how the individual and households adapt to climate change, what constitute the driving forces behind climate change adaptation, development service providers responding to adaptation needs. Perspectives of mal-adaptation and the choices made have been looked into. The policy brief provides recommendations and action points to build resilience.
