Toward a Sustainable Low-Carbon Society in Vietnam in 2030
Atmospheric and Thermal Environmental Engineering Laboratory,
Department of Unban and Environmental Engineering,
Graduate School of Engineering
Place of stay: Water Resources University, Hanoi, Vietnam
Term: February 24 – March 29, 2010
I did my internship from February 24 to March 29, 2010, and its main objective was to explore the feasibility of applying Low Carbon Society (LCS) studies in Vietnam. I had discussions with some key persons, policy-makers, and planners of administrative agencies such as Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, and Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology, as well as officials of universities. During a meeting with professors and policy-makers, I presented my research along with empirical studies that had been applied in some Asian countries such as Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and India. As a result, I received positive comments, feedbacks, and suggestions from them on current issues of LCS and intention to apply the studies in Vietnam. Also during my internship, I attended the KU-HUT International Symposium on Environmental Management -2nd Symposium of Kyoto University EML project-, held in Hanoi. I had an opportunity to meet professors and researchers from Japan and Vietnam, who showed an interest in my studies.
