Climate change scenarios for Viet Nam
 Temperature:
According to the medium
emission scenario:
→ Mid of 21st century:
annual mean temperature
would increase 1.21.6°C
→ End of 21st century:
annual mean temperature
would increase 1.62.8°C
Increase in annual mean temperature in the end of 21st century
by the medium emission scenario
Climate change scenarios for Viet Nam
 Rainfall:
According to the medium
emission scenario,
→ Mid of 21st century:
annual rainfall would
increase 1-4%
→ End of 21st century:
annual rainfall would
increase 2-7%

 Viet Nam signed United Nations Framework Convention on
Climate Change (UNFCCC) on 11 June 1992 and ratified it on 16
November 1994. Viet Nam also signed Kyoto Protocol (KP) on 03
December 1998 and ratified it on 25 September 2002.
 Viet Nam is not required to reduce
greenhouse gases (GHG) emission
but GHG mitigation options have
been developed for GHG main
sources
(Energy,
Agriculture,
Forestry) in the country
GHG emission by sector in 2000
(under the Second National Communication to UNFCCC)
Per capita GHG emission in 2000 was 1.94 tonnes of CO2e
