Viet Nam Project
Timeframe
June 2020 to June 2025
Context
Vietnam is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change.
Its 3,260kms coastline, and islands particularly expose it to risks from sea level rise. It is among the most proactive ASEAN countries attempting to mitigate agricultural GHG by improving ruminant rations, treating livestock and crop waste, modernising farming and improving livestock GHG inventories. The CSA programme has a larger workload in Viet Nam.
As in other partner countries the CSA is supporting Viet Nam to progress to an improved (Tier 2) livestock inventory and improving the capacity of scientist and officials to report GHG emissions. In addition, the CSA has also chosen Viet Nam to lead a regional measurement hub and to pilot a regional MRV system for rice (RiceMoRe).
Viet Nam has been a Global Research Alliance member since 2009. The NZCSA initiative is improving Viet Nam’s Tier 2 livestock inventory and building the capacity of scientists and officials to report GHG emissions.
Progress
The Improvements to the inventory are supporting the development of domestic agricultural policies by establishing robust production data, identifying mitigation opportunities for livestock and tracking reductions.
