Context
Cambodia's reliance on road transport has increased alongside the country's economic development. Cambodia mainly relies on fossil fuel vehicles and most vehicles are second hand. With the rise in the number of vehicles on the road and the fuel composition of Cambodia's energy mix, there have been concerns raised about the emissions and air quality degradation in urban areas in the country.
Cambodia has requested help in accelerating a transformation to cleaner and efficient mobility systems in the country and to contribute significantly to Cambodia's efforts in achieving its NDC goals. In order to successfully transition to a low-emission pathway, the country has to address a number of barriers including lack of information; policy and planning barriers; institutional capacity barriers; investment and market barriers; and economic barriers.
