✅ "Public budgets should work for people. When young people understand the process, they can help strengthen transparency, participation and accountability so climate finance supports those most affected,” said Matilda Bogner, Representative, OHCHR Cambodia.
🌱Climate action needs public financing, if it is to be effective. When public spending is transparent and inclusive, #climate finance is more likely to support communities most affected and ensure their rights in practice.
🗓On 7 June 2026, @OHCHR_Cambodia facilitated a training on climate and natural resource finance policy analysis organized by the Youth Resource Development Program, a member of the #CSOs Budget Working Group.
📑The session helped students learn how to follow public spending for climate and natural resources and how to ask rights-based questions about whether funding is fair and effective.
💡Participants explored Cambodia’s budget process and climate change budgeting and discussed how human rights principles can support more accountable and inclusive public finance that advances economic, social and cultural rights.
The training brought together 19 university students (11 women & 8 men) from Phnom Penh and several provinces.
🇺🇳 United Nations Human Rights in Cambodia 🇰🇭 remains committed to supporting youth engagement and civil society collaboration to advance inclusive, rights-based public budgeting, that contributes to sustainable development (#SDG16) and ensures that no one is left behind.

The training equipped these advocates with practical tools to monitor and influence public budgeting processes in their communities.
