U.S. Climate Finance: Vietnam

By U.S. Department of State

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is investing $4.9 million in the Vietnam Forests and Delta Program to help the Government of Vietnam (GVN) build capacity for climate change adaptation and Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+). Sustainable land use activities under the program may include analyzing the drivers of deforestation, monitoring forest carbon stocks, safeguarding biodiversity, and engaging with stakeholders. Adaptation activities will focus on building capacity to mainstream climate information into decision-making. For instance, the program will help provinces to respond to local climate change impacts, such as rising sea levels, salinization, and increased flooding from changing precipitation patterns.
