While there is a strong focus on climate initiatives within Vietnam, a complex operating environment creates a potential risk for uncoordinated climate efforts and investments. As such, a mapping exercise of climate initiatives across various multilateral and bilateral partners operating within the country was conducted to synthesise knowledge on current areas of engagement, as well as, identify gaps and opportunities in the current landscape. A summary of the findings and analysis of the mapping exercise is presented in the slide deck.
