The Interfaith Youth Circle of Cambodia CC (IYCC), located in Svey Rieng, Cambodia, works on issues concerning climate change, farming, poverty and migration. IYCC has been able to unite Christians and Buddhists to collaborate and find sensible solutions to deal with farming practices and population displacement induced by global warming. IYCC provides resources, programs, and training to farmers from diverse faith backgrounds. Members also bring people of different religions together and provide a space to address their common problems caused by challenges from climate change and poverty.
