Land use change continues to be a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in Viet Nam, with the major drivers of forest-land conversion being logging (both legal and illegal), infrastructure development, and commercial crops. In response, far-reaching legislation has been introduced, including the National REDD+ Action Plan. The proposed project will trigger the implementation of these policies at the nexus of forestry and agriculture, to directly address the major drivers of land use change in Dak Lak, Dak Nong, Lam Dong, and Ninh Thuan provinces where cash crop expansion, has been a primary driver of forest loss and degradation. Working with national and provincial governments, the project will provide a blueprint for implementing sustainable forest and land use policies across the country.
