The Environment and Development Division of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) and the Institute of Meteorology, Hydrology and Climate Change of Vietnam (IMHEN) jointly designed a study to establish a Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) programme for "Waste-to-Resources for Cities in Vietnam" that can support the nation-wide adoption of waste-to-resource approaches, reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the urban solid waste management, and contribute to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals.

This study draws upon ESCAP’s experiences in implementing Integrated Resource Recovery Centers (IRRC) in Viet Nam, and describes the methodology of upscaling the IRRC model into a NAMA that is integrated with Viet Nam’s National Strategy for Integrated Management of Solid Waste up to 2025 and Vision towards 2050, as well as realizes inter-sectoral sustainable development benefits.

The study analyses of the scope and objectives of the NAMA accounting for the urban solid waste management challenges, the systemic barriers, and the baseline scenario of related greenhouse gas emissions in cities in Viet Nam. In addition, it proposes the costs and financial modalities, institutional arrangements and capacity building activities, and the road map for the structured implementation of the NAMA.
