Current Status
ADVANTAGES
Vietnam signed Kyoto Protocol (PK) on 03 December
1998 and ratified it on 25 September 2002.
Article 12 of KP to UNFCCC created CDM to assist
developing countries like Viet Nam in achieving
sustainable development and in contributing to the
ultimate objective of UNFCCC.
Implementation of CDM by means of developing and
carrying out CDM projects will play an important role in
sustainable socio-economic development in Viet Nam
Current Status
Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment
(MONRE) is assigned by the Government as a National
Authority for implementing UNFCCC and KP as well as
a CDM National Focal Point Agency.
Under UNEP Project: “Capacity Development for
CDM”, National Office for Climate Change & Ozone
Protection (NOCCOP) – Country Executing Agency of
the project - belongs to MONRE.
Final Work Plan to carry out the UNEP project has
been completed since March 2003. The plan is being
submitted to the Government for approval.
Current Status
•Viet Nam carried out a National Strategy Study on CDM
project (NSS) supported by the Government of
Australia through World Bank (WB).
•National Steering Committee and Study Team of NSS
have been established.
•Country GHG emission reduction potential and costs
are assessed.
• CDM potential projects are identified and developed.
•Outcomes of NSS will be fruitful for implementation
the UNEP Project in Viet Nam.
Current Status
DISADVANTAGES
• Policy makers and business circle: Low awareness
about CDM.
•Lack of manpower.
• Development strategies, policies, plans of sectors are
available but the CDM was not taken into consideration
•Legal framework for CDM activities need improving.
• National Steering Committee established under NSS
project need reorganizing and strengthening to meet
CDM requirements.
Preparation for CDM implementation
Evaluate of Vietnam’s supply potential
 Based on National GHG Emission Projection in the period
of 2000-2020.
 Bottom-up approach: Development and assessment of
GHG mitigation options focusing on energy and land use
change & forestry sectors.
 Research CDM market opportunities for Vietnam
 Building up the MACs curves of Vietnam based on results
of GHG abatement potential
 Using data of GHG abatement potential for evaluation
 The GHG market size of Vietnam is rather small. It is
accounted for 0.75% of Non-Annex I export revenue.
How to realize CDM Opportunity ?
Three issues need considering:
 Criteria for CDM projects:
 Sustainability
 Additionality
 Feasibility
 Approval process (Viet Nam CDM project cycle).
 Domestic prerequisites.
Capacity Development for CDM
•The Project “Capacity Development for CDM”
launched by UNEP with the support of Dutch
Government.
• Main objectives:
–To improve understanding on CDM
–To create a better management of CDM
activities.
• Project period: 2002-2005 with two phases
Capacity Development for CDM
Phase 1 (Project preparation) :
• Review issues regarding the KP & CDM regulatory
framework on institutional set-up.
• Identify initially capacity building needs for CDM in the
country.
• Gather and prepare related documents to raise public
awareness on UNFCCC, KP and CDM.
• Translate CDM Booklet of UNEP into Vietnamese.
Publish this Booklet with 1500 volumes to use for
raising public awareness on CDM in the country.
Capacity Development for CDM
• Establish a Project Core Team including key
persons and senior experts to prepare a multi-year
work plan.
• Organize and conduct a 2-day National Workshop
on Capacity Development for CDM (Hanoi,27-28 Nov
2002).
• Develop and finalize a Draft Work Plan for CDM
Capacity Development in the period of 2003-2005.
• Take part in the Regional Workshop on Capacity
Development for CDM. (Thailand, 16-18 Jan 2003).
Capacity Development for CDM
Phase 2 (Project Implementation) :
Work Plan for CDM Capacity Development (CD) in
2003-2005 is completed. Six specific tasks for this
period are identified:
–Task 1: Public information for raising CDM awareness
–Task 2: CD on CDM for policy makers
–Task 3: Establishment and CD for CDM National
Authority (CNA)
–Task 4: CD for stakeholders relevant to CDM projects
–Task 5: CD on CDM research and education
–Task 6: Creating a pipeline of CDM eligible projects

Conclusion
• Prior activities in the country for phase 2:
Carrying out in-country necessary procedure to
establish National offices for CDM :
 CDM National Authority (CNA)

National Executive Board
 Stepping up activities regarding CDM Capacity
Development for policy makers in order to obtain
their supports for CDM activities and investments in
the country
Conclusion
• In order to obtain the maximum possible benefit
from participation in the CDM:
Reforming existing structure to involve relevant
ministries in CDM management.
Integrating CDM issues into development
strategies, policies, plans of main sectors.
Setting up legal basic for CDM activities.
Developing criteria for CDM project assessment in
a view of SD
Formulating rule and regulation agreement with
related project partners.
Conclusion
• The UNEP Project: “Capacity Development
for CDM” will contribute an important part
in facilitating CDM activities and CDM
implementation in Viet Nam.
