In this context, a comprehensive GHG inventory for the sector has been undertaken, capturing both the direct and indirect emissions from refrigerant use and energy consumption respectively.
The aim of the presentation was to gather feedback from the key stakeholders (policy, private sector and academia) in the sector and ensure the inventory’s reliability. In that respect, DCC and GIZ Proklima agreed to provide more detail for quality assurance and quality control as requested by the participants. This will allow the inventory to be of use for Vietnam’s national GHG reporting to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC (Ouvrira une nouvelle fenêtre)).
