in temperature, heat wave, drought, sea level rise, increase
in salinity, shortage of fresh water, icy melting, flood, arid
soil, soil degradation, worn-out of soil fertilizer.
Human activities and natural disasters posing major
concerns and challenges, such as insecurity of food,
energy, economic and financial, social instability and a loss
of ecological balance for both the developed and
developing countries, as well as the whole world.
Excessive potential use of natural resources, the growing
population, and industrial growth also exerts strong
pressure on environment that causes imbalance between
economic growth, and natural resources conservation,
especially biodiversity, forest, fishery, water resource,
mines, and land.
To solve these problems, Cambodia established many
environmental legal frameworks and policies particularly
green growth policy for ensure sustainable development.
