Webinar on the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) Implementation in Viet Nam 2021 – Innovation for Carbon Neutrality through the JCM –

*Registration closed

Ministry of the Environment of Japan (MOEJ) and the Global Environment Centre Foundation (GEC) in collaboration with Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of Viet Nam (MONRE) will jointly organize “Webinar on the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM*1) Implementation in Viet Nam – Innovation for Carbon Neutrality through JCM -” on Friday, December 17th, 2021 as part of Viet Nam – Japan Environmental Week*2.

Government of Japan is promoting dissemination of advanced decarbonizing technologies through the Financing Programme for JCM Model Projects*3. The webinar will be participated by government officials and business leaders from both countries, and it aims at sharing overview and progress of JCM and facilitating project development and scaling up those future projects.

Furthermore, as countries around the world aim to be carbon-neutral, innovation is the key to realizing a decarbonized society, in addition to thorough energy conservation and the introduction of renewable energy.

This webinar will introduce “Financing Programme for JCM Model Projects”, “Financing Programme to Demonstrate Decarbonization Technology for Realizing Co-Innovation”*4 and “Pilot Project for Comprehensive Support throughout the Whole Hydrogen Supply Chain Abroad”*5 started this fiscal year as well as good examples of each project. Through these, the path to a post-corona decarbonized society in Viet Nam will be explored.

Related to the webinar, GEC will have individual consultation with companies considering applying for JCM Financing Programme. Also, individual meetings will be arranged between registrants of the webinar. Reservation is available through a match-making online platform “JCM Global Match”.
