Building Resilience The Future of Rural Livelihoods in the Face of Climate Change The focus in the 2011 Cambodia Human Development Report is on climate change and rural live-lihoods. While this captures only part of the picture of climate change in Cambodia, it is an essential starting point. Even though Cambodia is changing rapidly and the distinctions between rural and urban are becoming less clear, most people continue to depend on a rural economy and natural resources. Although numerous transformations have occurred in this area in recent years, the rural economy remai... Cambodia - 2011 |

From a human development perspective, both economic growth and environmental conservation are not ends but means to improving the well-bein... Mongolia - 2011 |

Furthermore, the progress made at the national level masks large disparities at the sub-national le... Viet Nam - 2011 |
