JCM Background in Cambodia
Back in 2014, Cambodia and Japansigned the document on thecollaboration of the JCM projects
implementation.
A joint committee was establishedto operate the JCM projects, which
had representatives from MoE,MME, MISTI, MPWT, and MAFF.

The current status of JCM implementation in Cambodia
There are 8 JCM project have been implementing so far:
1. Introduction of High Efficiency LED Lighting Utilizing Wireless Network
2. Introduction of 1MW Solar Power System and High Efficiency Centrifugal Chiller in Large
Shopping Mall
3. Provincial Water Supply and Sanitation Project
4. Hybrid Power Plant Project with Biomass and Solar Power in Kandal Province
5. Introduction of Ultra-lightweight Solar Panels for Power Generation at International School
6. Energy Saving by Inverters for Distribution Pumps in Water Treatment Plant
7. 1.5MW Solar Power Project in Kampong Thom
8. Reducing Deforestation and forest degradation through forest conservation in Cambodia(JCM REDD+ in Prey Lang)

7. 1.5MW Solar Power Project in Kampong Thom (Not yet start)
This project has been terminated, because project participants withdrew from theProject.

8. Reducing Deforestation and forest degradation
through forest conservation in Cambodia (JCM REDD+in Prey Lang)
Phase 1 (March 2018 – 3years): Strung Treng
120k haPhase 2 (March 2021 – 3years): Prey Lang
Wildlife Sanctuary (431,683 ha)

9JCM projects contribute to national GHG ER targets
 Cambodia Sustainable Development Goals(CSDGs)
 All of GHG ER from JCM projects in Cambodiahave been using toward CSDG emission
reduction target.

 Nationally Determine Contribution Update(NDC Update)• 42% of GHG ER by 2030.

 Long-Term Strategy for Carbon Neutrality(LTS4CN)• Achieve net zero emission target and becomecarbon neutrality by 2050

10

What does JCM bring to both countries (C&J)?

Technologies transfer and exchange knowledge;
Jobs creation;
Achieve GHG ER targets of both countries;
Economic and GDP growth; andStrengthen both countries’ friendship and strong cooperation.

11

Cambodia has preparedness for Article 6 implementation Established National Sub-Working on GHG
Inventory
 Developed operations Manual for theimplementation of the Article 6 of the ParisAgreement on Cambodia Climate in Cambodia
 Finalizing the draft sub decree on Greenhouse
Gas Emissions Reduction

12Other JCM workshops and debates
Dr. Hak Mao-Director of Climate Change Department, Ministry ofEnvironment, shared the experience of his country with the JCM, apartnership that helps Cambodia achieve its Nationally Determined
Contribution and emission reduction targets. He discussed themitigation projects they have developed under the JCM, including
REDD+ and other renewable energy projects.

A Joint Crediting Mechanism Workshop was held in 2019 inCambodia " Contribution to NDC and SDGs Implementation"organized by the Department of Climate Change and supported by
the Institute for Global Environmental Strategy (IGES).
