Cambodia ‘s coastal fishing communities are amongst the most vulnerable, due largely to high dependence on natural resources, direct exposure to climate vectors (i.e. storms, sea level rise and changing rainfall), overall poverty, remoteness and marginalization. Women have even less adaptive options available to them, as traditionally they have less influence over the decision-making processes, including those related to climate adaptation.
