The local farmers’ capacities to manage climate impacts will be enhanced through an innovative climate-resilient agricultural asset acquisition mechanism, encouraging empowerment and local ownership over climate adaptation efforts. The Public-Social-Private Partnerships for Ecologically-Sound Agriculture and Resilient Livelihood (PEARL) project aims to increase the climate resilience of agricultural production in NTSB by employing three components: climate foresight, market incentives, and enabling environment. At the same time, rainfall is becoming less frequent and more turbulent during rainy seasons, which is why the region is facing a dual threat of flooding and drought putting a total of 1.45 million people at risk either directly or indirectly. The area is also severely threatened by climate change disruption as temperatures have steadily increased by a total of 0.8C° since 1950. The Northern Tonle Sap Basin (NTSB) in the center-west part of Cambodia is home to one of the region's most important agricultural systems, where farmers produce mainly cashew, mango, rice, and vegetables.
