Goal and objectives of the project | The overall objectives of the cooperative project is to support and strengthen the development of multi-disciplinary research community in Vietnam to address air quality, focusing on: research institutions are similar to Phase I, i.e.,
a) Development of cost-effective air pollution mitigation scenarios, including greenhouse gases and sustainable development co-benefits,
b) Developing atmospheric modelling capacity is critical if applying GAINS model for other provinces/regions will be considered. |
Main results | - Some features of GAINS has been updated and expanded including integrating data connection with Craft Village software, optimizing costs and benefits. With fine dust PM2.5, the results showed that without measures to improve weather resistance, by 2030 PM2.5 in the North could be 25-30% higher than in 2020. This means that about 85% of the population here will be exposed to air quality that does not meet the national standard for PM2.5. |
Novelty and actuality and scientific meaningfulness of the results | The project has succeeded in building a scientific basis for cooperation and exchange between VAST and IIASA, combining the research human resources of the party, initially building a multidisciplinary research community to solve the problem. air pollution issues with the participation of research units inside and outside VAST. This mission cooperates with IIASA to develop the GAINS model in Vietnam with the aim of contributing to solving the problems of air pollution in Hanoi and localities in the northern region of Vietnam. The initial results of the project have shown the success of scientific cooperation between the two research institutes. This project will lay a solid foundation for deeper scientific cooperation activities between the two institutes as well as expand the cooperation to other research institutes of similar interest in the coming period to cooperate. in the field of air quality management. On the basis of simulation scenarios, the research team proposed a draft summary of policy recommendations on air pollution control in a locality in Vietnam, namely Hung Yen province in order to control more effectively. air pollution on the basis of cost and economic benefits |

Recommendations | - Using modeling tools to support the development of policies on air quality control is an advanced and scientific approach that has been successfully applied by many countries and localities. In the case of Vietnam, this approach was tested through an international cooperation mission between VAST and IIASA showing the feasibility of applying this approach at the local as well as national level. . When localities develop policies/plans on air quality management, this is an approach/tool that should be considered to apply to be able to assess the impacts of policies in a timely manner. comprehensive and total |
