The context of NAMA
Vietnam
International context
� NAMA emerged from the Bali Action Plan (2007)
� 2nd commitment of the Kyoto Protocol for 2013 – 2017;
� Additional responsibility of NAI countries agreed in Durban;(Decision 2/CP.17)
Vietnam context� Preparation of GHG inventory for
2005&2010;� Draft green growth strategy;� By o4/2012, 107 CDM projects registered to EB;
� REDD+ and NAMAs need MRV system� 2 NAMA projects in cement and
waste sectors� 9 feasible projects underBilateral Credit Offset Mechanism with Japan.

Period: June 2012 – June 2014
Implementing agency:
�Ministry of Construction; Ministry of Construction;
�Ministry of Investment and Planning;
�Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment;
�Ministry of Industry and Trade .
Overall objective: to strengthen Vietnam’s ability to prepare,
propose and implement a full-scale scheme of clearly specified
NAMAs in the cement sector
Pilot programme for supporting up-scaled mitigation action in
Vietnam’s cement sector(sponsored by the Nordic Partnership Initiative)
Key readiness activities:
�Collection of up-to-date data on emission reduction potential;
�Capacity to develop baseline emission projections;
�Capacity to estimate (emission reduction) impact of mitigation actions; �Capacity to estimate (emission reduction) impact of mitigation actions;
�MRV system of international standard;
�Identification of barriers to mitigation action, and proposals for addressing them;
�Identification of appropriate support instruments for mitigation action, including
identification of potential sources of financing for support, mechanism for funding,
criteria for support, and MRV needs; and
�Relevant institutional arrangements, capacity building and training for all of the
above.
