Cambodia faces urgent challenges at the intersection of climate change and nutrition: rising climate risks threaten food systems and nutrition outcomes, particularly for vulnerable rural communities. This policy brief presents findings from a 2025 light-touch assessment involving 32 policies and key stakeholder interviews. The results reveal limited integration of climate and nutrition agendas due to institutional fragmentation, weak coordination, inadequate financing, and insufficient data systems. However, promising opportunities are emerging through community-based models and a growing number of high-level policies that demonstrate strong cross-sectoral alignment, measurable targets, and inclusive implementation frameworks. As momentum builds, strategic investments in institutional coordination, financing, monitoring and learning, and stakeholder engagement are essential to accelerate integrated, climate-resilient, and nutrition-sensitive development across Cambodia.
