  • Discuss the organization and monitoring of the implementation of the payment mechanism for emissions reductions in the locality.
  • Capacity building for the community in monitoring forest quality and implementing a payment mechanism to reduce emissions.

Almost 30 people participated in the training, including forest owners and members of forest management and protection groups in the two villages.

The training is within the framework of activities to promote the effective implementation of the Decree on the transfer of emissions reduction results, and financial management under the North Central Region Emission Reduction Payment Agreement (ERPA) is expected to be promulgated in the near future.

Tien Hai reserve saved from development in win for nature in Vietnam

Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh signed a decision this month to fully retain Tien Hai Nature Reserve, in a rare example of environmental protection winning over development in the Southeast Asian country. Located in the northern coastal province of Thai Binh, the reserve gained attention in 2023 after the provincial government announced a plan to remove protection from almost 90% of the area. This would have reduced the reserve area from 12,500 to 1,230 hectares (nearly 31,000 to just over 3,000 acres) to open up space for a proposed residential, resort and golf course complex called the Con Vanh Ecological Urban Area.
