Impact of Climate Change in Cambodia
Cambodia has made significant contributions to climate change efforts in the country and engaged
with the international community in the fight against climate change. Cambodia has set a clear goal of fighting
climate change. It is the gradual process of climate change over a long period of time, including changes in
temperature, rainfall, wind or ice cover. Climate change is caused by natural factors and human activities. It
is affecting the extreme and long-term nature of the global average temperature. It can be a decrease or an
increase in the average temperature measured for several years in a row.
According to the Ministry of Environment's Climate Change Glossary, climate change is a change in
climate that can be identified through statistical analysis through changes in average figures and climate
variables, and that changes continue to occur over time, long, decades, or longer. Climate change is caused by
human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, agricultural land use, land use and pesticides,
and the release of large amounts of greenhouse gases into the Earth's atmosphere.
Climate change may be due to natural causes. It is caused by an increase in the concentration of
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, blocking smart heat from the Earth's surface into more atmosphere, which
is the cause of global warming. Moreover, when heat from the sun hits the earth, this layer of gas blocks part
of the heat from escaping. If this gas layer decreases, the Earth's temperature decreases, and the Earth's
temperature decreases, and if this gas layer increases its capacity, it causes an increase in temperature, called
global warming.
The effects of climate change can cause more or less rainfall, abnormal heat generation, hurricanes,
wind gusts, lack of clean water, use of wildfires, declining agricultural crops, eye and skin diseases, floods, or
abnormalities. It is now becoming an important topic for the world to work together to avoid the effects that
could occur at any time.
In conclusion, climate change is a large-scale change in the climate system that occurs in two or three
decades or less and will continue to occur or is expected to continue. It lasts for at least two or three decades
and causes severe disruption to humans and nature.
