In line with the Ministry of Environment's campaigns on "1 million tree saplings per year & Today I do not use plastic bags," #OxfamKH during #CCCS23 conducted a #youthKH's panel discussion on "Green, Clean & Sustainable Initiatives" #NetZero #ClimateChange #BlueSkies #GreenSpace
@SEA_GLOBE @japantimes @pulitzercenter @Rainforest_RIN @UNFCCC ...I was disheartened no other independent journalists attended #CCCS23, understandable with #Cambodia's shrinking free press.
Ironically, @UNESCOCambodia held a shindig for the media at the same time in Phnom Penh. It seems conferences are more important than coverage.
After the Climate Change Summit #CCCS23, we went to plant trees at Khnar Pou commune in #SiemReap. Our first time visiting the freshwater #mangrove forests in #Cambodia. We need #Trees #GreenSpace #BlueSkies #NetZeroBy2050
Donating some study materials for primary school students in the remote village of #PreahVihear before exploring the forests and learning how the communities protect their #forests and other natural resources. #CCCS23 #YouthKH
@SEA_GLOBE @japantimes @pulitzercenter @Rainforest_RIN @UNFCCC Conference coverage isn't really what gets me out of bed in the morning as a journalist.
But I must say, I've had better access to the Ministry of Environment in the two days of #CCCS23 then in two years with @SEA_GLOBE. For that I am grateful: https://t.co/UOskbmI84P
But...
@SEA_GLOBE @japantimes @pulitzercenter @Rainforest_RIN @UNFCCC After the #CCCS23 panel, I spoke with Pengty Ngor super briefly while he was on the way to the bathroom. Sorry about that.
I asked if #Cambodia's national budget would allocate funds to achieving its goal of carbon neutrality by 2050. He said "that is not the current plan."
Before the #CCCS23 panel discussion on "Green, Clean and Sustainable Initiatives", #OxfamKH engaged active #youthKH to explore how communities protect their forests. Youths also had an opportunity to plant trees in #SiemReap and donate study materials for students in #PreahVihea.
Funnily, the next #CCCS23 panel on green growth in #Cambodia was hosted by Phanith Chou, who I just interviewed for my penultimate @SEA_GLOBE story. Great to meet sources in person!

Yesterday at #CCCS23! The 🇬🇧 outlined our climate change partnership with 🇰🇭 including the potential for cooperation on climate-resilient infrastructure.
More than 100 000 more people committed not to use plastic bag following the MOUs signed between the Ministry of Environment, UNDP, and FAO yesterday #cambodia Climate Change Summit #CCCS23 @UNDPCambodia @FAOCambodia
H.E. Eang Sophalleth, Minister of Environment, mentioned a plan to grow and distribute 2.5 million trees each year to people across Cambodia, free of charge, as a strategy to reforest the country! #CCCS23
The REDD+ panel was a #CCCS23 highlight with boots on the ground experiences from @ibis_rice, @WCSCambodia and @BirdLife_News. I hope I get to take a peek at those projects soon.
For the record, it was telling when no one wanted to answer questions about the Southern Cardamoms.
After @SophallethEang left #CCCS23, Ministry of Environment officials held the line. I found their takes fascinating.
Ken Sereyrotha, chair of the ministry's national REDD+ Taskforce Secretariat, moderated a panel on "REDD+ Plus."
This is about carbon credits by the way.
@vicheika11 @earthjournalism @SophallethEang @UNDPCambodia @FAOCambodia Oddly, no one wanted to toast with me during my peculiarly awesome – and equally dumbfounding – Q&A with Minister of Environment @SophallethEang.
More on that next week.
Cheers to @pulitzercenter's @Rainforest_RIN for helping me attend events like #CCCS23 🥂
@vicheika11 @earthjournalism After the #CCCS23 opening, @SophallethEang went to a semi-private event with @UNDPCambodia and @FAOCambodia.
After an MOU signing for an anti-plastic initiative, they thought popping champagne before a press Q&A was a good idea.
Fair enough. It was 11:34 and I got left thirsty.
@SophallethEang @USAmbCambodia @AusEmbPP The keynote at #CCCS23 from #Cambodia's Minister of Environment @SophallethEang was ~34 minutes long.
I was taking 📝 and 📸, so I'll listen to the recording once more before posting. In the sake of timeliness, here are my notes.
Remember, I'm dyslexic and was taking photos.
@SophallethEang Day Two of #CCCS23 was 𝘉𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘛𝘩𝘰𝘮 studded.
The opening remarks featured Neak Oknha Sear Rithy, @USAmbCambodia and @AusEmbPP.
After listening through the 23 minutes of speeches twice, my main take away is that I need to fix my white balance.
🆕 Cambodia Climate Change Summit 🆕
Day Two of #CCCS23 was a stunner. I've had better access to #Cambodia's national Ministry of Environment in the past two days then in the past two years.
A snippet, a thread on the new Minister @SophallethEang to come, for now ⬇️
