Task based
Program Objectives1) Mitigating climate change by GHG absorption and emissions control2) Building adaptive capacity to deal with harmful impacts of climate
change3) Enhancing measures for cross-sectoral issues through policy dialogues
Main CounterpartMinistry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE)
Output 1Enhancing Capacity to facilitate develop &
implement Mitigation Actions
Upstream Mitigation Policy Development to enable NDC Implementation and transparency requirement with MONRE and Line Ministries
Output 2Enhancing LMs & Local Government’s capacity to plan, implement & MRV
Mitigation Actions
Strengthening institutional capacity to plan, implement & MRV Mitigation Actions at Ho Chi Minh City and Line Ministries
Overall GoalThe Government of Vietnam is able to plan and implement NAMAs (climate mitigation policies and actions) in a MRV manner.
Project Purpose: Capacity of the Government of Vietnam to plan and implement NAMAs (climate mitigation policies and actions) in a MRV manner is enhanced
Project Term: 2015 Feb.-2020 Jan (5years)
Project Target Group: MONRE, related Line Miniseries (LMs) / agenciesHo Chi Minh City

emission reduction targets
② Determining priority mitigation options and actions✓ Analysis of emission reduction potential in selected
sectors: Seaport, Building, Industry.
③ Examining policy options to promote the actions✓ Identifying the gap / challenges of current policies and
promoting priority mitigation programs and options✓ Piloting climate change mitigation and MRV
GHG emission scenarios
Policy review and recommendation

Conclusion
◼Domestic policy development for NDC Implementation is the key task for Viet Nam’s response to climate change.
◼SPI-NAMA and JICA’s related projects on climate change mitigation will keep contributing to the Viet Nam’s effort on policy development and institutional reform on NDC implementation.
Thank you very much for listening !
