WB provides ODA for HCFC eradication in VN

VGP – The PM has approved the World Bank-financed technical assistance project to manage and eliminate the use of HCFC in Việt Nam. The project has a total non-refundable aid of US $46,400.

The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment will work with relevant agencies and the WB to finalize documents, assess, ratify and implement the project.

It has been reported that, since 2010 Việt Nam has conducted activities to eradicate HCFC as an active signatory of the Montreal Protocol on ozone-depleting substances. 

Under the Protocol, Việt Nam will have to phase out the consumption of HCFC by 10% by 2015./.
