Country Profile: Vietnam
VIETNAM IS COMMITTED TO A 8% TO 25% (CONDITIONAL) REDUCTION OF EMISSION INTENSITY PER UNIT OF GDP BY 2030 Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, has a population of 7.7 million and the 2ndmost populated city in the country. The urban area of Hanoi is about 320 sq. km. Vietnam’s GDP per capita was 2,060 USD in 2016. Vietnam currently contributes 0.6% of the world’s total GHG emissions. The country’s GHG emissions for transport was 31.9 tonnes (1990-2014). Vietnam’s high dependence on private vehicles powered by fossil fuels has resulted in increased GHG emissions and air pollution. Transport accounts for 12.7% of the total GHG emissions of Vietnam. |

Toolbox
Status: Ongoing The factsheets provide a basic introduction to specific measures in the areas of energy, mobility and waste management, which aims to provide a basket of possible solutions to partner cities. |
Vertical Divider
E-learning Programme
Status: Ongoing Learning resources on Mobility, Energy and Waste Management E-learning programme builds on the toolbox and factsheets and aims to provide a better understanding of possible actions, highlighting the experiences from the implementation of measures in other cities building on the wealth of knowledge of international experts. |

Action Tracker
Status: Ongoing Gives an overview of the Projects progress The Urban Pathways Action Tracker provides an overview of the project’s activities in the cities and reflects on the various action areas. The main objective of this is to share learnings with other cities and identify opportunities for synergies with other projects and initiatives. |
City-to-City Partnerships
Status: Ongoing
Status: Ongoing
The partner cities will be supported by exchanging ideas with their peers in other cities who have developed successful urban mobility, energy and resource management solutions. This will focus on the story behind the success on governance, finance and regulatory issues.

Melaka and Hai Phong were invited by ICLEI - Local government for sustainability to join a training course organised under the Ambitious cities project funded by IKI. The topics of the training closely matched the focus of the Urban Pathways project. Joining the trainings gave an opportunity for the Urban Pathways cities to share experiences and explore synergies.

Capacity Building
Status: Ongoing The Urban Pathways partner cities Melaka (Malaysia) and Hanoi (Vietnam) joined a regional training event co-organised by the city network ICLEI. As part of the sister project Ambitious Cities Promises the local government officials will learn about urban mobility and planning issues in cooperation with the Urban Pathways project.

Urban Change Maker
Status: Ongoing The Urban Change Maker Programme actively trains and involves motivated junior and senior experts to contribute our joint effort of delivering on the New Urban Agenda with concepts for low-carbon urban energy, mobility and waste management systems. |

Regional Replication
Status: Ongoing Sustainable Transportation in Asian cities Regional Replication I 25 April -2 May 2019 I South Korea 24 participants from 10 Asian countries (Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Mongolia, Nepal, Philippines, Sri Lanka and Vietnam) joined the training course on urban mobility, and discussed on modes, options and strategies for sustainable, safe, accessible, and innovative urban transportation in global as well as in the context of Asian cities. |
|
Project Development
Status: Ongoing One of the core objectives is the development and implementation of projects that help decarbonising urban energy, mobility and resource sectors. The projects concepts that are considered to be viable will be later developed into bankable projects for which funding will be sought. |

Policy Environment Assessment
Status: Finished

Policy Recommendations
Status: Pending Policy measures at the local and national level can be critical to the transformation of urban energy, mobility and resource sectors, for example they regulate systems, provide technological standards, generate funding, impose taxes and set policy objectives. As part of the cooperation with the partner cities, Urban Pathways provides on-demand policy advice. |

Funding Solutions
Status: Ongoing An overview of funding solutions is provided in the toolbox. This section includes updates on the specific funding options that are considered for the partner city. |

Vertical Divider
Implementation Facility
Status: Ongoing The Implementation Facility coordinates the delivery of the project and creates synergies with other initiatives working in the Urban Pathways areas and regions. The facility focuses on knowledge exchange, co-creation and collaboration with partner projects working in the Urban Pathways cities. |
Vertical Divider
Bankable Projects
Status: Pending Urban Pathways develops scalable pilot projects in cooperation with the partner cities at a neighbourhood level with an aim to provide a proof of concept of urban energy, mobility and waste management solutions. Based on the pilot project demonstrators, larger-scale projects will be developed to utilise the CO2mitigation potential of an integrated urban energy, mobility and resource management approach and seize the opportunities for contributions the Sustainable Development Goals. This will be done in close cooperation with finance partners and will be geared towards the Green Climate Fund, the Global Environment Facility and similar sources of funding and financing. |

Implementation Support
Status: Ongoing The Urban Pathways team actively support partner cities in the implementation of urban energy, mobility and waste management solutions. This support includes activities jointly initiated under this project and other relevant actions currently on-going in the partner cities. |
