Vietnam

 

Vietnam is a low-lying country in Southeast Asia with a densely populated coastal zone that is strongly dependent on tourism and agriculture. Current coping strategies relating to climate risks have shown to be ineffective, and the increasing impacts of climate change pose serious impediments to sustaining progress in the country. It has therefore become an imperative objective of the Vietnamese government to respond to this immense challenge, so climate actions count on institutional support. The assessed LMTs in Vietnam are biochar, afforestation/reforestation and avoided deforestation, and agroforestry.
