Paper Summary

The article discusses how Vietnam has seen a rise in Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects since 2009, mainly focusing on hydropower projects. These projects may be more about supporting Vietnam's energy security than addressing climate change. Vietnam's policies are attracting these projects, potentially making it a model for other developing countries.
