Cambodia and Other GMS Countries Renew Efforts to Boost Investments in Natural Assets

Cambodia and other Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) countries pledged to redouble efforts to protect and enhance their natural assets including forests, farmlands, wetlands and water bodies to ensure they contribute to inclusive and sustainable development, amid concerns that failure to take action threatens the subregion’s growth prospects.
