1. Introduction: 

1. Introduction Viet Nam (8º27-23º23 N and 102º08-109º30 E) with the land area of 330,990 km2 located in Southeast Asia. Three quarters of the land is mountainous and hills with the elevation mostly from 100 to 1000m. The population of Viet Nam was 77,6 million (2000) with average annual growth rate of 1.36% It is predominantly an agricultural country with 74% of its population are involved in agriculture, 7.4 million ha of agricultural lands. The forest areas are 9.3 million ha, forest coverage increases from 27% in 1991 to 33.2% in 2000.  The average annual GDP growth rate was 7.5% during 1990-2004. GDP per capita (2004) 560 USD  Sectoral contribution to GDP (2000): Industry: 36.7% Services: 38.7% Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing: 24.5%

1. Introduction (Cont’.): 

1. Introduction (Cont’.)  Viet Nam ratified UNFCCC on 16 November 1994 and Kyoto Protocol on 25 September 2002. MONRE was assigned by the GOV as a national authority for implementation of the UNFCCC & KP. INC has been submitted to UNFCCC on 2003; under phase II of INC project “The technical report on identification and assessment of technology needs for GHG emission reduction and climte change adaptation in Viet Nam“ has been submitted on 2005

2. Technology Needs Assessment processes The Project “Expedited financing for measures for capacity building in priority areas in Viet Nam (Phase II)” This project is a follow-up to the Initial National Communication project The Implementing Organization: International Cooperation Department (ICD) of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE) Duration: July 2004 – September 2005 The objective of the project: enhance capacity and maintain the efforts to access and disseminate information related to climate change technologies.

Three types of activity are required for effective TNA : 

Three types of activity are required for effective TNA 1. Institutional arrangements for stakeholder engagement 2. TNA assessment processes 3. Implementation actions

Priority Technologies identified in the project: 

Priority Technologies identified in the project Energy 1.Solar heating technology 2.Small and medium hydropower 3.Grid-connected biomass-fired for electricity generation 4.High efficiency fire - chamber technologies for coal - fired thermal power plants. 5.Combined cycle gas turbines 6.Switching from oil, coal fired to gas in the thermal power plants. 7.Clean Coal technology 8.Oil field associated gas recovery and utilization 9.Reduction the electricity loss in transmission and distribution Industry 1. Change from west to dry process in cement production 2. In brick production: Vertical shaft brick kiln; and Dry cellar and tunnel fire one uninterrupted channel in brick production 3. BOF exhaust gas recovery device; BOF: basic Oxygen Furnace 4. Raw material preheated for electric arc furnace

Household and services: 

Household and services 1.Compact lighting technology using compact lamp 2.High energy efficiency air conditioner, EER>10BTU/W 3.Using central air conditioning systems 4. Biogas for cooking and electric generation Transportation 1. Implementing the road map of exhaust gases standards for road transport means 2. Constructing and operating the public railway system 3. Developing the public transport system (bus), limiting the number of motto-scooter/motorcycle in the big cities 4. Using LPG for the transport means in Vietnam

Agriculture: 

Agriculture 1. Water management from rice field 2. Livestock feed processing and modification 3. Rational application of fertilizer Forestry 1. Forest conservation, reforestation, afforestation 2. Mechanization of timber processing and logging 3. Forest fire reduction Some adaptation technologies to Climate change on sectors of Agriculture, Water resources, Coastal zone management has been analyzed, however it is primary and has not comprehensive due to lack of data, information and expertise's.

3.Some lessons learned: 

3.Some lessons learned + TNA will be most successful when they focus on technologies and actions that meet national development goals while also responding to climate change concerns, and when implementation actions complement existing development programs. + Effective TNA should actively engaged all key stakeholders, including government agencies, businesses, technical institutions, and international partners in the selection of technology priorities and design of actions to overcome barriers to technology implementation.

Slide21: 

+ It is necessary to build or strengthen the human, scientific, technical and institutional capacity for identifying, designing, developing, monitoring, evaluating and hosting technological projects, including targeted research projects, for bilateral and multilateral funding + The main outputs of the TNA project will be the good and important input of Viet Nam’s SNC project, as expected result a draft action plan framework for the transfer and adoption of ESTs will be prepared during the implementation of SNC

Conclusions: 

Conclusions + TNA help Viet Nam to identify their climate change adaptation technology transfer priorities and develop effective strategies to address them. It can be powerful instruments for focusing the attention of government agencies, the international donor community and private sector investors on a well-defined set of priority activities. + Strengthening the technical and financial support on TDT for reducing GHG emission and adaptation to CC from International and donor countries is necessary; and should be as part of commitments by developed countries.
