CHM - ORTBy 2030, a user-friendly information system containing data and information on biodiversity (including its associated ecosystem services, values, functions, status, trends, threats and the consequences of its loss) has been established and maintained and is widely shared among stakeholders and the public.
Policy: NBSAP 2026-2030, NDC 3.0, and Circular Strategy on Environment (2023-2028)
Actions: Cambodia will strengthen biodiversity knowledge-sharing through implementation of the NBSAP 2026–2030 and operationalization of the Cambodia Environmental Management Information System (CEMIS) as the national biodiversity data platform. Standardized indicators, metadata protocols and data governance frameworks will be established under the ENR Code (2023). Publicly funded research and monitoring data will be integrated into interoperable national databases and linked to regional and global platforms. User-friendly dashboards, open-data practices and capacity-building at national and subnational levels will support evidence-based decision-making and transparent reporting.

GBF-T21. Data, information and knowledge for decision-making is available GBF-T21. Data, information and knowledge for decision-making is availableEnsure that the best available data, information and knowledge, are accessible to decision makers, practitioners and the public to guide effective and equitable governance, integrated and participatory management of biodiversity, and to strengthen communication, awareness-raising, education, monitoring, research and knowledge management and, also in this context, traditional knowledge, innovations, practices and technologies of indigenous peoples and local communities should only be accessed with their free, prior and informed consent[1], in accordance with national legislation.

This target builds an enabling knowledge infrastructure, centred on populating and institutionalising a national biodiversity information system and requiring its use in decision-making. Actions around data-sharing policy and expanded functionality reflect the need for coordinated governance of information across institutions. The scope includes ecosystem services and values, supporting wider decision needs beyond conservation agencies alone.
Aligned on capacity, tech transfer, joint research and cooperation.
