Cambodia estimates climate footprint in rice fields with IRRI training

May 27, 2025, Phnom Penh, Cambodia - In a crucial step towards a greener future, Cambodian agricultural experts have sharpened their skills in calculating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from rice cultivation, thanks to a recent intensive training led by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI). This activity is part of the Accelerating Scaling of Low-Emissions Rice in Southeast Asia (AcceLER) project supported by the Global Methane Hub. It aims to empower Cambodia and its neighbors to significantly cut methane emissions from rice farming – a bold 15% by 2030.
