Deputy head of Climate Change Department Truong Duc Tri (Source: VNA) HCM City (VNA) – A seminar was held in Ho Chi MinhCity on April 13 to launch a 2018 Project to Support the Planning andImplementation of the Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (SPI-NAMA).
The event was co-hosted by the MoNRE, the municipal Department of NaturalResources and Environment and the Japan International Cooperation Agency(JICA)’s Office in Vietnam.
Speaking at the event, representative of the municipalClimate Change Office Nguyen Huy Phuong said Ho Chi Minh City records hugeemission with 38.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide, accounting for nearly 13percent of the country’s total.
He said the city plans to refine legal regulations onemission reduction, enhance global cooperation, attract investment and improvemanagement in the field.
Chief of the SPI-NAMA project’s short-term research group MakotoKato suggested saving energy by installing solar panels on high-rise buildings,using rapid buses and urban railway instead of personal vehicles, collecting exhaustfumes in landfills to manufacture organic fertiliser, recycle urban solidwastes, and collect fowl and cattle droppings to manufacture biogas.
Luong Quang Huy, chief of the Greenhouse Emission Reduction Officeunder the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MoNRE)’s Department ofMeteorology, Hydrology and Climate Change said under the greenhouse emissionscenario, Vietnam will emit 400 million tonnes of carbon dioxide by 2018, 500million tonnes by 2020, 600 million tonnes by 2025 and 800 million tonnes by2030.
He said between 2021-2030, Vietnam has pledged to reduce 8percent of greenhouse emission, or nearly 62 million tonnes of carbon dioxide,with only domestic resources, and 25 percent with global support in the fieldsof energy, transport, agriculture and wastes.
By 2015, the country will reduce greenhouse emission by 45percent, increase the use of renewable energy to 44 percent and forest coverageby more than 50 percent.
In order to achieve above targets, Vietnam has taken 45mitigation measures with the use of necessary resources and technology.
The MoNRE has submitted a Decree on greenhouse emissionroadmap to the Prime Minister for approval this year.-VNA
