Potential of Low Carbon Society (LCS) Study In Vietnam

Atmospheric and Thermal Environmental Engineering Laboratory, Department of Urban and Environmental Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering
Place of stay: Ho Chi Minh City College for Natural Resources and Environment, Vietnam
Term: March 2 - March 23, 2010
My Advanced Capstone Project (ACP) internship is divided into three phases. In this first phase, the main objective was to communicate with some researchers in Vietnam to expand the study of Low Carbon Society (LCS) in Asia, and therefore to gather their opinions and comments on the potential of LCS study in Vietnam, not only in terms of research accuracy but also the availability of data. Because of limited national research budget and data availability, the research of LCS study in Vietnam seemed quite difficult. Most of the Vietnamese researchers were, however, willing to participate in this kind of research, recognizing the importance of Low Carbon Society for the future national development plan. This internship was very useful and valuable to understand the current research interests of Vietnamese researchers and to find out possible research collaboration between Kyoto University, Vietnamese universities, and Vietnamese organizations/institutes in the future. At this phase, however, I did not have much opportunity to interact with government officials, and could not collect lots of data. Thus I will have to make more effort in the next phase.
