GEMMES Viet Nam phase 2 is a research program whose main objective is to propose the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (MoNRE) of Viet Nam with scientific evidence for the national dialogue on net-zero strategies and adaptation to climate change. Running from 2023 to 2026, it is divided into three research Components: (1) Climate; […]
Research on Agriculture Insurance in Vietnam
The rise of extreme weather events in the Mekong Delta region poses an urgent threat to the livelihoods of millions, particularly those whose primary source of income is rice production. Addressing this problem, MDRI is working with the German Leibniz Institute for Economic Research (RWI) for a study on agriculture insurance in the region in […]
Advancing Jurisdictional Sustainability in Vietnam, focusing on the Central Highlands Region
In 2021-2023, MDRI acted as a technical partner of the European Forest Institute (EFI) in the Project “Advancing jurisdictional sustainability in Vietnam, focusing on the Central Highlands region”. This project adopted a jurisdictional approach to enhancing the technical capacity of local actors in sustainable deforestation-free governance of forestry and agricultural production, with the lead of […]
Strengthening the resilience of smallholder agriculture to climate change-induced water insecurity in the Central Highlands and South-Central Coast regions of Vietnam (GCF2-SACCR Project) – Baseline Data Collection
Climate change modifies precipitation patterns, intensifying deficits in surface water and groundwater for agricultural production and affecting small-scale farming in the Central Highlands and South-Central Coast regions of Vietnam. Launched under that context, the project aimed to strengthen the resilience of small-scale farmers to climate change-induced water insecurity – particularly poor, near-poor, ethnic minority, and […]
Endline Survey for the Project of “Improved business through seasonal forecasting for coffee in Vietnam” (WeFoCoS Project)
The project of “Improved business through seasonal forecasting for coffee in Vietnam” (WeFoCos) has a goal to provide tailored seasonal climate forecasting system and a set of associated decision support tools for coffee farmers. These solutions will not only enhance the profitability of current farming systems but also improve their climate change resilience and environmental […]
The Vietnam Adolescent Nutrition and Food Environment Study
Adolescence is known as a period of rapid growth and development in children’s physiological, cognitive, and psychological status, which requires an increase in their macronutrient and micronutrient needs compared to adults. However, adolescents’ diets in many places are inadequate, leading to their stunted physical growth, poor cognitive and development, and other dietary risks, especially in […]
Research for Climate-Smart Agriculture in Vietnam: Climate Change Response Modeling and Application
The Mekong Delta River is home to the most abundant biodiversity systems in Vietnam, thus becoming the vital hub for agriculture and aquaculture production in the country. However, this region is also considered as one of parts in Southeast Asia most threatened by climate change. The acceleration of climate change, therefore, exacerbates the level of […]
Advancing Jurisdictional Sustainability in Vietnam, focusing on the Central Highlands Region
The EU REDD Facility, hosted by the European Forest Institute (EFI), was established in 2010 with the overarching goal of helping countries engaged in REDD+ to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and forest degradation through improved land-use governance. Vietnam took the initiative to implement REDD+ through the approval of National REDD+ Action Plan (NRAP), […]
