The aim of this training workshop was to build capacity in Cambodia on
trade and environment issues related to the implementation of four multilateral
environmental agreements (MEAs) – the Basel Convention, the Convention
on International Trade in Endangered Species, the Montreal Protocol and
the Convention on Biological Diversity and its Biosafety Protocol. In
conjunction with the workshop, a Cambodian consultant was retained to
prepare a case study analyzing Cambodia’s policy coordination in the implementation
of the four MEAs.
Approximately 40 participants attended the workshop representing Cambodian
national and regional government ministries, non-governmental organizations,
academia and the private sector. In addition, a representative from the
Loa PDR Science, Technology and Environment Agency participated in the
workshop.
Workshop participants highlighted a number of constraints facing Cambodia
in the implementation of MEAs, and recommended a number of areas for future
capacity building activities related to trade and environment.
