Project Description

 In the framework of the Vietnam-Denmark Development Cooperation in Environment (DCE) for the period 2005 – 2010, Cleaner Production in Industry Component (CPI) has aimed to develop the Cleaner Production strategy for polluting industries, including some solutions to overcome the shortages of cleaner production activities in Vietnam, improving the Government’s commitment for cleaner production and developing a Cleaner Production approach and infrastructure which overcome the barriers for the implementation of the National Action Plan on Cleaner Production

 In order to ensure the sustainability of cleaner production activities and integrate cleaner production into climate change response activities in the two provinces Quang Nam and Ben Tre, it is necessary to access the impacts and possible replication of such solutions in the linkage with expected climate change risks as well as climate change response activities in the selected provinces. RCEE NIRAS has been selected by the Component to provide consultancy on assessing the vulnerability of assess the vulnerability of the CPI supported industries (demo projects in Quang Nam and Ben Tre provinces) regards with the present and future climate change scenarios developed for such two provinces as well as provide recommendations for how to mitigate the effects of the identified impacts prepared and as such improve the sustainability of the industries and the CP solutions implemented through the support from CPI.
