Beyond the landscape

The WWF is run at a local level by the following offices...

Beyond the Landscape

Protecting our landscapes means thinking beyond their borders – and changing the systems driving the destruction of nature internally and externally.

As part of our new Footprint Programme, we aim to facilitate Cambodia’s transition to a low-emission, low-conflict and nature-positive future both inside and outside our target landscapes. To do this, we aim to tackle systemic drivers of biodiversity loss, such as unsustainable production and consumption, climate change and ecologically destructive infrastructure. While protecting nature, our private sector engagement programmes bring economic opportunity to communities by building stable livelihoods and long-term resilience.

Strong focuses of this programme include scaling up renewable energy, improving energy efficiency, pushing for sustainable non-hydropower options and integrating nature-based solutions across landscapes. It also promotes sustainable consumption and production systems, aligning food, energy, and forest strategies with national climate commitments.

Cool and Solar Cambodia

Pushing sustainable energy forward in the tourism sector, this project supports rooftop solar and energy-efficient cooling solutions in hotels, eco-resorts and community-based ecotourism sites. Cool and Solar Cambodia is not only reducing our energy footprint; through green energy initiatives, we are also fostering gender inclusivity, raising environmental awareness and enhancing community livelihoods.

I was a trainee for WWF’s solar training last year. The course was very useful for my job – it covered both theory and practice. The theory focuses on how the solar system is designed, solar cell operation, and understanding individual components for the system.

Mekong in BALANCE

The Mekong in Balance project supports the comprehensive implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, adopted in 2022, to conserve biodiversity in the Greater Mekong region. With a focus on just and equitable practices, the project aims to deliver results for climate, nature and people through effective policy and governance.

Sustainable Consumption and Production

The Sustainable Consumption and Production project aims to reduce emissions and enhance climate resilience by transforming food systems, agriculture and forestry with interventions from the producer to the consumer. Engaging the private sector, policymakers, farmers, value chain actors and urban shoppers, we are transforming the environmental impact of commodity chains from beginning to end.

I didn’t realize how much of my farm waste could be reused. I used to throw away spoiled vegetables because I didn’t know any better. Now, I use them to feed my pigs and compost what’s left...This choice has helped me use my resources more efficiently and made me proud of what I do.

WoodAI in Garment Factories

The WoodAI smartphone app empowers global fashion brands and their Cambodian garment factories to identify wood species in their energy supply, reducing their risk of contributing to deforestation. This tool helps factories obtain a more responsible wood supply from plantations to phase out forest wood from the fashion industry.

Leading the Change

Leading the Change Phase 2 is a global civil society programme aiming to support thriving biodiversity and ecosystems, so all people can enjoy a safe and healthy environment. In Cambodia, we have provided subgrants to five organizations that promote civil society rights in biodiversity protection, promote livelihoods development and influence natural resource development policy.

I am pleased to see the progress and success of our community forestry. Local community members are actively and happily engaged in collecting non-timber forest products, which contribute to their livelihoods…Forest conservation is essential to sustain these resources and the well-being of our community.
