    Abstract

    The purpose of this chapter is to explore governance limits to climate change adaptation in Cambodia’s health sector, as well as possibilities for change. Poor coordination across government sectors and a failure to prioritise human resource development result in climate change adaptation limits. This chapter explores these two areas of adaptation governance, focussing on government and international aid sector decisions and priorities that undermine effective adaptation in Cambodia’s health sector. The chapter highlights a pessimistic outlook for human resource development. Despite this some recent changes suggest a government with an increasing commitment to sustainable development, including adaptation, and these changes may support better coordination of adaptation.
