  1. KYOTO PROTOCOL AND CDM ACTIVITIES IN VIETNAM Dr. Tran Duc Hai Director General International Cooperation Department Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment

  2. Contents • Overview • Activities to implement UNFCCC and CDM in Viet Nam • The CDM project portfolio in energy sector • Next steps for CDM implementation

  3. Overview • Viet Nam: • Ratified UNFCCC: 16/11/1994 • Ratified Kyoto Protocol: 25/9/2003 • Ministry of Natural Resource and Environment, formerly Hydro-Meteorological Service, was assigned by the Government of Viet Nam as a National Focal Point to implement UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol in Viet Nam • The Protocol goes into force when: • Ratified by 55 Parties • Ratified by Annex I Parties accounted in total for at least 55% of the total CO2 emission for 1990 of these Parties • Up to 10/7/2003, 111 countries ratified the Kyoto Protocol, in which 29 Annex I Parties with 44,2% of their total emissions in 1990

  4. Overview (continue) • Three cooperation mechanisms of the Kyoto Protocol: • Emission Trading (ET) • Joint Implementation (JI) • Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) • Purpose of CDM: • Assist non Annex I Parties (developing countries) in achieving sustainable development. • Assist Annex I Parties to meet their quantified emission limitation and reduction commitment under Article 3 of the Protocol

  5. Activities to implement UNFCCC and CDM in Viet Nam • Viet Nam carried out many studies and activities to response to climate change: • CC: TRAIN (Phase 1)” supported by UNDP/UNITAR/GEF • “Asia Least Cost GHG Abatement Strategy” (ALGAS) Project supported by UNDP/GEF/ADB • “Economics of GHG Limitation” (Phase 1) Project supported by UNEP • “Enabling Activities for the Preparation of Initial National Communication to UNFCCC” Project supported by UNEP/GEF • “Vietnam National Strategy Study on Clean Development Mechanism” (NSS) Project supported by the Australia Government“ through WB

  6. Activities to implement UNFCCC and CDM in Viet Nam (Cont.) • Establish a Climate Change National Country and Technology Expert Team to manage and implement climate change projects • Complete National Greenhouse gas Inventory for 1990, 1993, 1994 and 1998 • Complete the First Nation Communication to submit to UNFCCC during COP 9. • Develop database to serve preparation of the Second Nation Communication • Carry out the project: “Capacity Development for CDM” financed by the Government of Netherlands through UNEP

  7. Activities to implement UNFCCC and CDM in Viet Nam (continue) • Evaluate potential CDM in Viet Nam • Based on greenhouse gas emission projection in Viet Nam • Develop and assess greenhouse gas emission mitigation options in 3 main sectors: • Energy: 15 options (reduce CO2) • Agriculture: 3 options (reduce CH4) • Forestry and land use change: 3 options (increase carbon sink) • Identify capacity development needs for institutional arrangement and CDM implementation in the country. • Develop CDM project portfolio in energy sector
