How do you assess the importance of forests in mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Vietnam? Carina van Weelden, implementation manager at the German Development Agency, known as GIZ GHG emissions play a critical role in effectively addressing climate change.

At our company, through our partnerships, we have registered around 170 carbon credit generation projects globally, spanning 15 countries, including Vietnam.
