Cambodia supports the Project of Cold Earth in 2050, which aims to protect the earth's environment from climate change and global warming, said Prime Minister Hun Sen on Thursday.
"Cambodia strongly supports the Project of Cold Earth in 2050, which was set up in Kyoto to reduce environmental change around the world," he told the construction ceremony of counter-flood facilities on the Tonle Sap River bank in Phnom Penh.
Meanwhile, he appealed for the people living in Phnom Penh to join their hands to clean the city, protect the environment, care about their health and improve the sanitation.
About 9,000 tons of polluted water and wastes flowed from the city into the Tonle Sap River each day, he said.
The facilities were built in the spirit of environment protection and will help reduce pollution and safeguard climate security, he added.
