Forest Trends' Activities
Vietnam
Total REDD+ Finance Committed:
Total REDD+ Finance Disbursed:
Since the 1990s, Vietnam has seen a reforestation trend leading to increases in plantation forest. Considerable efforts, such as the Five Million Hectares Reforestation Program, have been made to increase overall forest cover, but serious deforestation and extensive degradation remain. Therefore, the country is currently working to lower regional deforestation rates through a number of multilateral agreements and national policies that support REDD+ activities.
In November 2010, Vietnam presented its REDD Readiness Preparation Proposal (R-PP) to the World Bank’s Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF) to obtain support through the FCPF’s Readiness Fund. A National REDD+ Steering Committee was established in January 2011, and in June 2012 the Prime Minister of Vietnam approved the National REDD+ Action program. Later in 2012, the country began the UN-REDD Programme’s implementation phase, which aims to reduce emissions in six Vietnamese provinces
