Cambodia implements  strategy towards a circular economy so that Cambodia can have a green, clean and secure future.

With  financial support from Sweden, Japan and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the National Council for Sustainable Development of the Ministry of Environment today launched the implementation of the National Strategic Plan and Action Plan for a circular economy and a forum to promote private sector participation in the transition towards a circular economy.

Say Sam Al, the Chairman of the National Council for Sustainable Development and Minister of Environment, said that the strategy and action plan for circular economy aims to create a win-win solution to the current challenges.

He said that this strategy aims to eliminate wastage of resources throughout the economic cycle and to maintain the cost of materials for as long as possible instead of wasting and disposing of them.

“The effective implementation of the circular economy strategy will ensure that all of us in the Kingdom of Cambodia can have a green, clean and secure future,” said Sam Al.
