Result of Seminar on the JCM Implementation in Vietnam
The Ministry of the Environment, Japan (MOEJ) and the Global Environment Centre Foundation (GEC) in collaboration with Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of Vietnam (MONRE), Institute for Global Environmental strategies (IGES) jointly organized “Seminar on the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) Implementation – Accelerating Promotion of Low Carbon Economy in Vietnam -” on 10 October 2019 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
In this seminar, MONRE and GEC explained the overview of the Financing Progamme for JCM Model Projects and its progress in Vietnam and introduced newly developed web platform “JCM Global Match”, and TGO made a presentation about the status of JCM implementation and issue of credits in Vietnam. Japan International Cooperation Agency(JICA) and Asian Development Bank (ADB) also introduced their own project. In addition, companies from both countries shared the good practices of JCM model projects in Vietnam and Vietnamese companies introduced their activities for reduction of GHG emissions.
In subsequent business matching session, several companies that were considering buying or selling low carbon or zero carbon emission technologies within JCM scheme had individual meetings which were set up though the new platform JCM Global Match as well as networking session namely name card exchange meeting. Further, GEC, MONRE, IGES and ADB had individual consultation with companies which had questions regarding JCM Financing Programme and JFJCM.
It is expected that the information sharing as well as business matching and consultation about JCM in the seminar will make much more JCM projects in Vietnam.
