Viet Nam and UNFCCC
Viet Nam signed UNFCCC in June 1992 and ratified it on
16 November 1994 and ratified Kyoto protocol on 25
September 2002.
- Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE) is
assigned by the Government of Viet Nam to be the National
Focal Point to take part in and implement UNFCCC and KP.
- CDM Designated National Authority (DNA): International
Cooperation Department, MONRE
- Climate Change Country Teams and National Technical
Experts Groups were established to implement climate
change projects.

A regional study on Global Environment Issue
funded by ADB.
Project started in 1992, Report was published
by ADB in 1994.
Scope includes GHG emission inventory
based on 1990 data.
Provided mitigation options for energy and
industrial, building, transportation, agricultural,
forestry and land use sectors.
Assessment of the impacts on agriculture,
monsoon and water resources, coastal zone,
forestry, human health, energy system,
transport and infrastructure.
Policy options to cope with climate change for
agriculture, water resources, coastal
protection, forestry, human health and natural
disasters were discussed.

Implementing: IMHEN
Combine water flow modeling for an entire river basin
with participatory management tools for a coastal district.
Study existing and future climate change impacts on water
resources in the river basin and understand how poor
people’s livelihoods strongly depend on climate and water
resource changes.
Improve awareness, a pro-active attitude and preparedness
regarding climate change and its impacts among all
related stakeholders, especially the most vulnerable
communities and individuals;
Assess, prioritize and improve the existing adaptation
measures with stakeholders’ participation.
Prepare and develop, with stakeholders participation, the
optimal feasible adaptation plan and policy at district level
with view to replicate at provincial and national levels.
