Minimize the vulnerability of ecosystems and communities to existing and planned hydropower projects in the Mekong and 3S basins of Cambodia. Build a strong evidence base on dam impacts through participatory impact monitoring. Monitor and disseminate analysis on energy and development plans and policies, and opportunities for deployment of non-hydro renewable energy alternatives. Support engagement with hydropower dam proponents about impacts on biodiversity and livelihoods, and more sustainable alternatives.

Strategic Direction: 6 Demonstrate scalable approaches for integrating biodiversity and ecosystem services into development planning in the priority corridors
