Climate Resilience

The Maddox Foundation has partnered with the Asian Development Bank (ADB), with support from the Government of Japan through the Japan Fund for Prosperous and Resilient Asia and the Pacific, to implement the regional Technical Assistance (TA) project, Investing in Climate Change Adaptation through Agroecological Landscape Restoration: A Nature-Based Solution for Climate Resilience in Cambodia, Bangladesh, and the Philippines. 

In Cambodia, the TA is working with the Royal Government of Cambodia's Ministry of Environment and Forestry Administration. The International Centre for Environmental Management and World Agroforestry Centre are providing technical support to the project.

Extensive restoration work has been undertaken with community forest members in the Sangker River Basin headwaters in Battambang Province. The project emphasizes forest restoration along with agroforestry and agroecology measures that build climate resilience, enhance biodiversity and offer improved livelihood opportunities to communities.
