Training Workshop on Enhancing Policy Co-ordination on Trade and Environment Issues: Implementation of Multilateral Environmental Agreements Containing Trade-Related Measures

Phnom Penh, Cambodia, 05 October 2004

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.
