In the third quarter of 2019, the Phnom Penh Capital Administration, in partnership with the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) and the National Council for Sustainable Development (NCSD), announced their decision to implement the Phnom Penh Sustainable City Plan 2018-2030.<\/p>\n

The plan aims to address the urban challenges faced by the capital, from reducing transport emissions, accidents, and congestion to offering affordable housing to improving waste management to controlling flood. It will also encourage the development of green public spaces and buildings, the deployment of clean energy solutions, and the preservation of local heritage sites.<\/p>\n

In the last decade, GGGI<\/a> revealed that Phnom Penh\u2019s population has tripled. This has led to an investment boom and has contributed to more than 30 percent of the Gross National Product. But it\u2019s not all good news.<\/p>\n

The rapid urbanisation has put a strain on the capital\u2019s services and natural resources. To this date, Phnom Penh still doesn\u2019t have a proper wastewater treatment system.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe development of Phnom Penh must acknowledge its environmental impact and pay full attention to climate change. This means development must go hand in hand with environmental protection, ensuring a clean and green environment in the city,\u201d states H.E. Khoung Sreng, the governor of Phnom Penh.<\/p>\n

The Environment Ministry also announced their intent to expand the sustainable city plan to six provinces, namely Siem Reap, Preah Sihanouk, Svay Rieng, Poipet, Kampong Cham, and Tboung Khmum, reported Khmer Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sao Sopheap, ministry secretary of state, disclosed that these areas are also facing urban challenges, particularly when it comes to housing, food supply, traffic, air quality, energy, water, natural and cultural heritage conservation, liquid and solid waste management, and flood management.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are targeting seven more cities to organise sustainable urban development and are proposing mechanisms to mobilise resources to implement the plan,\u201d he further clarified.<\/p>\n

Property developers have also taken initiative in spreading the importance of creating sustainable communities. Among them is Peng Huoth Group, the PropertyGuru Cambodia Property Awards<\/a> (KPA) Best Developer winner who bagged the highly-anticipated title for the 4th consecutive time, along with seven other awards and six highly commended trophies. Joining their reign is Angkor Continent Import Export Group Co., Ltd. who received the Special Recognition in Sustainable Development title at the 2019 KPA.<\/p>\n

Such businesses have shown us that even before the local government’s encouragement of employing sustainable processes, you can do your part to minimise your environmental impact and contribute to the betterment of the community.<\/p>\n
