This summer, I will be working with Open Development Cambodia, which seeks to provide the public with up-to-date, accurate information about Cambodia and its economic and social development. As a result of climate change, Cambodia is among several countries in East Asia and the Asia-Pacific that are vulnerable to rising sea levels which could lead to a loss of land and force millions of people to relocate. I will be researching how much land area is threatened by climate change and how the government could act to prevent and adapt to this rising challenge.
