 Because of its geography, the lacking development in economy, health services, infrastructure, etc., the prevailing severe poverty (esp. in rural areas) and because of the great dependence of the population on natural resources for their livelihoods, Cambodia is highly vulnerable when it comes to climate change (9th rank World Risk Index 2011 Vulnerability ranking catastrophes and natural disasters, 6th rank Maplecroft Climate Change Vulnerability Index 2012<ref>http://www.businessinsider.com/climate-change-vulnerability-2011-10</ref>). Vulnerability is not as immediate though as it is in Bangladesh, for instance, which is why climate change has only recently been brought on the agenda, mainly by donors. Cambodia is interested in additional funding. Focus on adaptation in infrastructure, food security, health and water management.

 At the national level, the government agencies with responsibilities related to climate change, natural resources and coastal ecosystem management and development include:
 *The '''Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF)''' which has an extensive network of staff at the national, provincial, district and commune levels. The '''Forestry Administration (FA)''' has the mandate for the management of Protected and Community Forests., responsible for REDD, Forestry, Climate Change and Innovative Financing Working Group. Given this broad mandate, there is substantial overlap with the MoE in the perception of functions and responsibilities. It is noteworthy that the 2006-2010 Strategic Agriculture Development Plan does not take climate change adaptation or mitigation into account.
 *The '''Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology (MoWRAM)''' which has the responsibility of observing and managing all activities related to water resources and meteorology development and natural disasters.
 *The '''Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction (MLMUPC)''' which is responsible for the formulation of development plans and land use plans at the national- and local-levels.
 *The '''National Committee for Disaster Management (NCDM)''' which was established in 1995, is an inter-ministerial body chaired by the Prime Minister. The members of the committee are drawn from all concerned ministries and the armed forces. NCDM plays a key role in disaster management, working both on disaster risk reduction/prevention and response preparedness.
 *The '''Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy (MIME) '''which is responsible for planning industrial water use and hydropower as well as water supply provision to provincial towns and administrating single-purpose schemes involving hydro-power.
 *The '''Ministry of Public Works and Transportation (MPWT)''' which is responsible for construction of roads, infrastructure e.g. bridges and ports.
 *The '''Ministry of Rural Development (MRD)''' which is responsible for: i) supplying small-scale water supply infrastructure to households; ii) primary health care; and iii) small-scale infrastructure in the rural areas in Cambodia. Although the MRD recognises the importance of adapting to climate change, the strategic plan of the MRD does not take climate change adaptation or mitigation into account.
 *The Min'''istry of Health (MoH), '''which is responsible for the development of the health sector for better health and well-being of Cambodians and thus contributes to poverty alleviation and socio-economic development. The Health Strategic Plan (2008-2015) of the MoH does not consider climate change impacts. climate change and health, vulnerability assessment with WHO
