Viet Nam is home to one of Southeast Asia’s most ecologically significant forest landscapes, playing a critical role in sustaining biodiversity, regulating ecosystems, and supporting livelihoods. However, forests have diminished in quality and coverage over the past several decades due to deforestation and forest degradation, contributing to increased greenhouse gas emissions, with the forestry and land-use sector remaining a predominant source.

Viet Nam has made strong commitments under the REDD+ framework to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, including the implementation of the National REDD+ Action Programme, and the development of key systems such as the National Forest Monitoring System and the Forest Reference Emission Level. Following an assessment under the UNFCCC that verified Viet Nam's 2014 emission reductions of 18.72 million tonnes, the country became eligible to access results-based payments (RBP) under GCF’s REDD+ Pilot Programme.

The RBP proceeds will be reinvested through a project targeting six provinces (Phu Tho, Son La, Dien Bien, Lai Chau, Lao Cai, and Tuyen Quang) to tackle the drivers of deforestation and forest degradation. By integrating conservation, restoration, and livelihood measures at scale, the project aims to reduce emissions, enhance forest carbon stocks, and build resilience for local communities. Activities include strengthening institutional and regulatory systems for low-emission planning and development, improving the management of land and forest areas to support emissions reductions, and enhancing the value of forests to strengthen local socio-economic development.

By reinvesting payments into the country's most climate-vulnerable and emission-sensitive landscapes, the project ensures compounding benefits — protecting ecosystems, supporting communities, and advancing Viet Nam's NDC and national REDD+ targets toward 2030.

To restore and conserve coastal ecosystems in An Giang by strengthening enabling conditions, financing pathways, and institutional capacities for nature-based solutions that enhance blue carbon stocks, biodiversity, climate resilience, and sustainable livelihoods.

Local CSOs and CBOs in landscapes-seascapes around the world access grant financing and technical assistance, including capacity development and knowledge sharing to maintain and enhance their socio-ecological resilience, well-being and socio-economic conditions for global environmental benefits.

Viet Nam’s rapidly growing economy is placing increasing pressure on its natural resources, including forests. Despite a logging ban in 2016, the nation has faced challenges in balancing forest conservation with farmers' sustainability and economic development in rural areas. Proactive interventions to sustainably enhance forest management and agricultural productivity are necessary to reduce pressure on forests and enable them to continue acting as carbon sinks.

The project aims to set up an enabling environment, and address financial and technical barriers, to unlock the potential of communities and private agroforestry actors in partnership with the public and financial sectors, to invest in forest conservation and the development of deforestation-free value chains for commodities such as coffee and pepper, bamboo or fruits, as well as a variety of specialty products like honey, medicinal plants, mushrooms or silk.

The project will improve 145,000 hectares of land through agroforestry and community forest management and reduce deforestation pressures on 500,000 hectares of threatened natural forests in Central Viet Nam, enabling significant environmental and socio-economic co-benefits, primarily for Indigenous Peoples.
