TA-9055 VIE: Mainstreaming Climate Change Mitigation into National Infrastructure

Background

To address the country’s growing energy needs while mitigating the effects of climate change, the Government of Viet Nam has developed an investment plan in coordination with the Asian Development Bank (ADB), members of the World Bank Group (WB – IDA, IFC), and key Vietnamese stakeholders, to access funding from the Clean Technology Fund (CTF). This fund targets low carbon investments in the power, transport, and industrial sectors and is expected to mobilise additional financial support and contribute to significant greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) reductions, accelerating Viet Nam’s progress towards its low carbon energy and development objectives.

In order to ensure the success of the final projects financed by the CTF, this project aims to offer technical assistance to Viet Nam to strengthen its capacity in measuring, reporting, and verifying climate change mitigation actions.
