Cambodian Green Economy

Cambodia has enjoyed eight years of high economic growth. According to the World Bank and ADB, Cambodia moved from a low-income country to a lower-middle-income country in 2015 and became a new tiger economy of Asia in 2016. As stated by the Prime Minister, Cambodia targeted to become an upper-middle-income country in 2030 and a high-income country in 2050. Likewise, Cambodia has been promoting green economic development and is one of the founding member countries of the GGGI, international green growth organization. The national multi-sectoral council and its secretariat were also established, and many regulations such as national green growth policy, strategic plan, and roadmap have been prepared and approved. Especially, the governance and development have been modernizing. This book illustrates the Cambodian green economic development, including background and governance, presents the SWOT analysis, and provides recommendations to policymakers as well as researchers working related to green economic development.
