CLIMAVIET Main programme objectives

focuses on climate change adaptation and mitigation in rice farming systems in Viet- nam. The project aims at strengthening the links between science, innovation and policy, and strongly focuses on stakeholder engage- ment and interaction at different stages.

Project website: www.climaviet.org

• To identify and characterize rice farm- ing systems that are most vulnerable to climate change impacts, with a focus on drought and salinity.

• To identify and pilot test selected climate smart measures that will help in adapta- tion and mitigation.

• To assess the institutional framework needed for implementing potential adap- tation and mitigation measures.

• To actively involve stakeholders, women and farmers in developing climate smart agriculture practices and improve aware- ness through dissemination of results.

Programme areas ClimaViet outputs

The project will be implemented in three provinces in Vietnam, namely Tra Vinh where drought is the main concern, and Nam Dinh and Soc Trang which are affected by saline intrusion.

• Local specific climate smart rice farming systems.

• Adaptation and mitigation recom- mendations with alternative cropping systems, soil, fertilizer and irrigation management schedules and suitable rice varieties.

• A manual of best practices of adaptation and mitigation for rice farmers under the projected climate change scenarios.

• Policy guidelines for implementation of potential adaptation and mitigation measures.

• Improved capacity of stakeholders, women and farmers.
