National Climate Change Strategy (Decision 2139/QD-TTg)
“Consider low-carbon economy and green growth as principles in achieving sustainable development; GHG emission reduction and removal to become a mandatory index in social and economic development”.


National Green Growth Strategy (Decision 1393/QD-TTg )
“Green growth, low-carbon economy, and enrichment of natural resources become the mainstream of sustainable economic development; GHG emission reduction and sink enhancement become mandatory and important criteria for socio-economic development”.

Ready participation from private sector and community
Bilateral and multilateral cooperation






Limitations
Highly limited understanding and human resources;
Uncertainty in international negotiations;
Lack of NAMA readiness in current governance and policy systems;
Few research and studies on NAMA/MRV;
Incomplete GHG inventory and BAU research;

Priority areas of works
 Time frame : 2015-2018








NAMA readiness
Improved NAMA perception and understanding
Enhanced coordination capacity
Established advisory capacity
Complete national and international MRV studies
Improved GHG inventories and BAU formulation
Enhanced negotiation capacity on international cooperation for financial, technical and capacity building in NAMA .
Established participation of line ministries, private sectors and community

Priority areas of works
1. An institutional framework for MONRE’s coordination and management role of
NAMA ;
2. An advisory mechanisms for NAMA ;
3. Research on methodologies on measuring (the M of the MRV) GHG emission reductions accordingly to the Laws of Vietnam and decisions and regulations of future climate regime under the UNFCC and/or second commitment period (CP2) of the
UNFCCC;
4. Development of NAMA reporting system (the R of the MRV) at local and national levels and prepare for international MRV system being developed under the UNFCCC;
5. Development of NAMA verification system (the V of the MRV) at local and national levels and prepare for international MRV system being developed under the UNFCCC;
6. Support GHG inventory and BAU formulation
7. Pilot case studies of NAMA development and implementation in selected sectors ;
8. Improvement of MONRE’s capacity in negotiation to access and use of current and future financial mechanism for NAMA.
9. Training integrated in all abovementioned with careful selected targets.
