Building capacity of young talented researchers/lecturers in agricultural education institutions is in need for Cambodia to improve climate change education in the agricultural sector. The proposed project aims at contributing to capacity development in climate change research for early-career researchers/lecturers in higher education institutions of Cambodia with the following specific objectives: (i) to build up the capacity of early career researchers in 8 universities by TOT, (ii) to mainstreaming current climate change impacts into the agricultural curriculum, and develop pilot research proposals under area-based assessment of climate change impacts on agricultural sectors, and, (iii) to contribute the project results to improve understanding and awareness of mainstreaming CC education into risk and vulnerability of community development. The main approaches used in this project include training of trainers (ToT), integrated climate change education into existing curriculum/courses, and policy brief recommendation. Under the framework of this project, 32 young talented researchers/lecturers will be directly benefited from the project and the knowledge of 240 students will be approved through replication training. The project is supporting to APN Fifth Strategic Plan 2020-2024 in strategic goals #2,#3, and align with Cambodia Climate Change Strategic Plan 2014-2023 Goal No.3.
