Cambodia has set an ambitious target to germinate one million saplings under the Green Sprouts Initiative, a programme aimed at increasing green coverage and advancing the country’s sustainability goals.

The initiative, formalised through a memorandum of understanding between the Ministry of Environment and telecom provider Smart Axiata, focuses on environmental stewardship through tree planting, plant nurseries, and sapling distribution efforts.

Minister of Environment Eang Sophalleth highlighted the collaboration as a critical step in achieving national sustainability goals. Smart Axiata will use its digital platforms to promote environmental campaigns, encouraging public participation in reducing plastic use and adopting greener practices.

This initiative reflects Cambodia's commitment to tackling climate change and leaving a sustainable legacy for future generations.
