Plan for GHG emission management andcarbon market development (Decision
1775/QD-TTg by Vietnam PrimeMinister)NAMA related to institution
MONRE is the national focal point of climate change, including NAMA in VietNam.

MONRE issues Decision No. 187 dated 21 February 2013 on establishing theWorking Group on NAMA.

WG includes 16 members from related Ministries (MONRE, MPI, MOT, MOFA,MOF, MOST, MOIT, MARD).

Functions and tasks:
Recommend to MONRE and other related Ministries on measures toestablish institutional framework, including policies, documents tofacilitate NAMA into strategies, programmes, sustainable development
plans of ministries, agencies and localities.

Contact point to work with other related ministries, agencies andorganizations on NAMA.

Project on supporting to plan and implement NAMAs funded by Jica

Project on NAMA development for the building sector funded by UNEP

Project on converting waste into resources for cities in Viet Nam funded byUN-ESCAP

Project on capacity-building and development of action plans to mitigate
GHG emissions in cement production in Viet Nam supported by the NordicDevelopment Fund

Project on support for NAMAs in Viet Nam funded by the Federal Republicof GermanyProject on strengthening cooperation and research on NAMA in a MRV

Proposed structured for MRV system

Gaps and constraints


The national GHG inventory system has not been established;Understanding of NAMA is limited;

National and sectoral policies to develop and implement NAMA/MRV areinadequate;

The MRV systems at the national and sectoral levels are in the researchand development phase;

Ministries, economic sectors, localities and the private sector face various
difficulties with limited organizational capacity in applying environmentallysound technologies and implementing NAMA in a MRV manner;

Lack of an effective coordination mechanism among line ministries,
economic sectors, localities, public and private sectors to develop andimplement inter-sectoral NAMAs;

NAMA developers face difficulties in accessing financial sources from both
domestic and international sides.

Next steps
Establish the national GHG inventory system of Viet Nam

Develop BUR2, TNC to UNFCCC



Research and assess GHG mitigation potentials



Develop and implement NAMA for production activities; climate soundtechnology transfer

Establish MRV system for NAMA of Viet Nam

Develop and implement REDD+ program

Synchronous develop; effectively use of energy sources; research to apply
energy production technologies from renewable and new energy sources

Implement GHG mitigation projects with national resources and international
financial and technology supports



Develop plan to implement the INDC post 2020.
