Abstract

This report is part of a larger research project funded by UK Research and Innovation’s Global Challenges Research Fund (UKRI GCRF) entitled ‘Depleted by Debt? Focusing a gendered lens on climate resilience, credit and nutrition in Cambodia and South India’. This Cambodia-focused report evidences how household debt is manifesting as a public health crisis that is fuelling the health poverty trap in rural Cambodia. A second counterpart Cambodia-focused report shows how microfinance loans are leading to an over-indebtedness emergency that undermines borrowers’ long-term coping and adaptive capacity in a changing climate. Together, the two reports offer new and compelling data on the multiple ways in which people’s aspirations for good health and transformative climate adaptation are trapped by debt
