Invitation: Low-emissions rice in Vietnam: Options, ambition, feasibility and investment

Posted by Focus on Arts and Ecology on - -

Vietnam was one of the first countries to ratify the UNFCCC. With domestic resources, Vietnam's National Determined Contribution will reduce GHG emissions by 8% by 2030 compared to business-as-usual (BAU) scenario. This contribution could be increased by up to 25% with international support.
A large part of Vietnam's mitigation plan involves agriculture, specifically in the rice sector. In this webinar, experts will present a comprehensive, comparative analysis of potentially viable low emissions development practices and supporting interventions in the rice supply chain. 
And what will move the needle from feasible practices to large-scale adoption? Both a domestic investment plan and an international investment proposal for alternate wetting and drying (AWD), a production technique which reduces greenhouse gas emissions and water use while often benefitting farmers, will be presented.
Next steps in the development and implementation of Vietnam's NDC will be summarized.  
The second half of the webinar will feature a question and answer session with the virtual audience.
