Cambodia is a country with the third-highest rate of deforestation in the
world. In 2016, for example, Cambodia lost 28,612 square kilometers
of green forest and 87,424 square kilometers of permanent forest. This
large number of deforestations, in the end, raises national problems, both
political, economic, and social. The shifting role of women, especially
Cambodian women who depend on forest resources, is one of the effects
of the environmental degradation that happened in the country. If women
could always depend on nature in the past, now women have to work
twice as much to meet their needs. Efforts to reduce global environmental
problems in the United Nations Reducing Emissions for Deforestation
and Degradation (UN-REDD+) program in 2008 have become a breath
of fresh air for Cambodia's environmental problems. In this article, the
author describes the role of Cambodian women's involvement in the UNREDD
+ program in 2008-2019 to address environmental and climate
change that occurred in the country.
