Viet Nam’s updated NDC posts a greenhouse gas emission reduction target of 9% by 2030 compared to the business-as-usual scenario with 2014 as the base year. The target is increased to 27% by 2030 (equivalent to 250.8 million tonnes of CO2eq) with international support. The mitigation component includes energy, agriculture, waste, land use, LULUCF, and the industrial processes sectors, while the adaptation component identifies strategic tasks including enhancing adaptation efficiency through strengthening state management and resources, increasing the resilience and adaptive capacity of communities, economic sectors, and ecological systems, and reducing disaster risks and minimizing damages. The country received support from the NDC Partnership Climate Action Enhancement Package through partners World Bank, WRI, and SNV, in mainstreaming the NDC in provincial socioeconomic development plans. Viet Nam launched the Plan for Implementation of the Paris Agreement (PIPA) in 2016, containing 68 tasks on mitigation, adaptation, human, technical, and financial resources and MRV. With initial support from the NDC Partnership, a result indicators framework, development partner support mapping, and support gap analysis was carried out which provided a basis for targeted action by partners and government to accelerate NDC implementation. The NDC Partnership further supported the country's coordination mechanism on NDC implementation by organizing partner meetings in 2020 and 2021 to follow up on Viet Nam's Request for Support Letter and next steps following the updated NDC. A development partner working group on climate change has been set up since and an NDC Implementation Support Program is being designed jointly between the Government and key partners.
