Doubling climate mitigation via national policy in Viet Nam
CGIAR innovations have been adopted into national policy in Viet Nam, to meet updated climate targets that aim to double mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture.
Viet Nam’s revised Nationally Determined Contributions to the Paris Agreement aim to increase mitigation of emissions from agriculture by 82% using national resources, or 97% with international support. To meet these targets, several innovations under the CGIAR Initiative on Asian Mega-Deltas have been mainstreamed into national policies and local programs by Viet Nam’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
Innovations include: alternate wetting and drying, climate-smart mapping and adaptation planning, mechanized rice straw composting, and Agro-Climatic Bulletins for accessible advisory services.
