Guide to supporting agricultural NDC implementation: GHG mitigation in rice production in Vietnam

International Rice Research Institute 

The agriculture sector contributes significantly to national greenhouse gas emissions in developing countries. Rice is a major contributor to methane emissions in Asia and many countries have recognized the potential to reduce emissions by including rice in their nationally determined contributions. This guide serves to bridge the gap in knowledge on developing and implementing action plans to achieve the ambitious targets to reduce emissions in rice. With a focus on Vietnam, this guide describes methods and tools for research organizations to support national governments to plan, finance, and implement mitigation actions in the rice sector.
