  3. PARIS AGREEMENT ON CLIMATE CHANGE Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) Orientation for GHG emission reduction in agricultural production

  4. THE PARIS AGREEMENT AND VIETNAMS COMMITMENT 1. Implement GHG mitigation commitments in Viet Nam s NDC; 2. Implement climate change adaptation commitments in Vietnam s NDC; 3. Prepare human, technological and financial resources to fulfill the commitments in Vietnam s NDC and contribute to transforming the economy towards low carbon emission and high resilience; 4. Establish and operate an public and transparent MRV system to monitor and assess the implementation of climate change adaptation, GHG emission mitigation, and resource preparation; 5. Complete institutional conditions and policies to create a favorable environment and prioritize national efforts for responding to climate change, including a situational assessment to adjust national policies, strategies and plans to harmonize climate change response and socio-economic development; strengthen coordination in handling inter-regional and inter-sectoral issues; attract private resources and international support.

  5. THE PARIS AGREEMENT AND VIETNAMS COMMITMENT On 24th July 2020, the Prime Minister approved the updated NDC of Vietnam to submit to the UNFCCC (Document No. 1982/VPCP-QHQT issued by the Government Office. From 2021, Vietnam will implement measures to mitigate GHG emissions according to the NDC while taking actions to adapt to climate change within the medium and long-term investment programs suitable to the conditions and circumstances of Vietnam.

  6. Vietnams NDC (2021-2030) By 2030: Vietnam will have reduced its GHG emissions by 9% compared to the BAU scenario by 2030 with its own domestic resources; up to 27% with international support Proactively respond to natural disasters and strengthen climate monitoring Industrial processes Energy Agriculture Ensure social security Mitigation component Adaptation component LULUCF Respond to sea level rise and urban inundation Waste

  7. Key updates in the NDC Reviewed and updated Vietnam s mitigation and adaptation contributions to be more in line with the country s current situation and latest socio- economic development forecasts for up to 2030: Ensured that NDC implementation objectives are in line with the objectives of the Socio-Economic Development Strategy, the National Climate Change Strategy, the Viet Nam Green Growth Strategy, and the National Strategy for Natural Disaster Prevention, Response and Mitigation Clarified issue of loss and damage and included Viet Nam's latest efforts in responding to climate change Added the analysis of co-benefits of adaptation, mitigation, and sustainable development. Included a national system for measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) for mitigation actions and a monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system for adaptation actions in order to implement the NDC.

  8. Key updates in the NDC Adaptation component:Identify strategic tasks to improve adaptation efficiency through increased governance There are 12 adaptation measures in Agriculture and Rural Development : - Forecast and early warning of hydro-meteorological information for agricultural production; - Crop and livestock restructuring, crop arrangement; - Improvement of farming techniques (soil preparation, fertilization, water management, seeds, etc.); - Research and development of new varieties with high adaptability to changing climate conditions; - Development of synthetic models, CSA models, agroforestry, intersectoral models; - Strengthening sustainable forest protection and environmental management GHG mitigation component: - By 2030: reduction of 9% with domestic resources and 27% with international support - Baseline year: 2014, total GHG emissions were 284 MtCO2eq, in which Ag-emissions were 89.8 MtCO2eq (31.6%); - 75 technical measures to mitigate GHG emissions (in which: 15 in the agriculture (crop production and animal husbandry), 12 measures in the LULUCF sector)

  9. New points in the updated NDC: Proposed to the Secretariat of the of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in September 2020 9% by 2030 compared to the BAU scenario (with domestic resources) 27% by 2030 compared to the BAU scenario (with international support) Change of Baseline year What s new?
