Abstract
The Vietnam Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC) sets the target to reduce 8-25% of total emissions in 2030 compared to Business as Usual (2030BaU). Therefore, the study of developing a Low Carbon City (LCC) for Da Nang aims to respond the national target. Two scenarios are developed for the socio-economic vision of Da Nang by 2030, with the projection of energy consumption and carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) emission in energy-related categories such as Residential, Commercial, Transportation, and Industry. The study shows that with proposal of five actions including 32 projects, Da Nang can reduce 19% total CO<sub>2</sub> emission in countermeasure scenario (2030CM). This result is expected to be useful for researchers and policy-makers who are interested in developing the Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP) and to support the vision of building green growth for Da Nang city.
