Nordic Partnership Initiative: Cement Sector NAMA Readiness Programme in Vietnam

The NAMA Readiness Programme for Vietnam’s cement sector has been on-going since March 2014. It focuses on improving the energy efficiency of the country’s cement sector and mitigating the resulting carbon emissions. The Programme is expected to enable Vietnam to prepare for a full-scale Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) in the cement sector. The NAMA would count as a part of Vietnam’s contribution under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC ) and allow the sector to attract international support towards the implementation of the proposal.
