However, this is not sufficient because basic methodologies and best practices for low carbon development have not been widely introduced and adopted in VietnamTherefore, Institute of Strategy and Policy on Natural Resources and Environment (ISPONRE), in partnership with Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES), Okayama University and Kyoto University of Japan, University of Technology Malaysia (UTM), jointly organized a seminar on ‘‘Capacity Building on Low Carbon Planning’’ that took place on 28 April 2016 in Hai Phong City, Vietnam.
