Impacts of payment for forest environmental service policy in Vietnam: A case study of Muong Nhe protected area

Impact of Government Stability and Investment Profile on Forest Area: The Role of Natural Protected Areas

“…In Vietnam, the Payment for Forest Environmental Services policy was proposed to renew forest resource management in the Muong Nhe protected area located in Dien Bien, and was applied in 2011. Its results revealed that the impacts of the policy on large communities are positive by promoting greater forest management and protection [8]. Similarly, it contributed to the conservation of forests with a greater awareness of the population.…”

“…The empirical findings implied that a country could overcome its environmental problems. However, this process is not automatic but instead requires institutional aspects directed from pro-environmental policies [8]. In this sense, policies aimed at conserving nature and, more specifically, forest cover, it is necessary to create protected natural forests through legal and fiscal mechanisms [13].…”

Predictors of solar water heater purchasing intention: an empirical analysis of residential behaviors in Hanoi city, Vietnam

“…Fossil energy has been playing an important role in the economic and social development of humanity, and still dominates the energy structure of almost every country in the world (Azeez and Atikol 2019, Alipour et al 2020, Dat and Truong 2020). However, this traditional resource is being depleted at a rapid rate due to the exponential increase in consumption demand in recent decades, and is a key factor causing global warming and climate change (Urpelainen and Yoon 2017, Liobikienė et al 2021, Dinh 2022,. The negative impacts of climate change are becoming increasingly serious and affecting the sustainable development of every country and region in the world (Liu et al 2013, Ali et al 2019, Huang 2019, and Duc et al 2022.…”

Making PES work for Vietnam : A multi-scale policy analysis of payments for forest environmental services

“…With the above developments, Vietnam claims it is the first Asian country to implement nation-wide PES Pham et al, 2021;Dinh, 2022) and amongst the most advanced REDD+ countries -portraying a government that has been very successful in adopting internationally developed market-based mechanisms for conservation objectives. However, with a "national approach" dominated by central government to both initiatives, there is little evidence of how sub-national (and even national actors)…”

“…The literature on PES in Vietnam has increased significantly since the pilot and implementation on PFES policy. So far there are two main bodies of PFES literature: one focuses its performance, whether it is environmental (Dang Do & NaRanong, 2019;Paudyal et al, 2020), economic (Pham et al, 2021;Dinh, 2022), or social , Haas et al, 2019, Pham & Roongtawanreongsri, 2022 -this body of literature often links PFES performance and effectiveness with either benefit distribution systems or (the lack of) monitoring, reporting and verification system; the other one is interested in the institutional, organisational and operational structure of PFES that mainly raises concerns surrounding "fairness arguments": transparency, equity, and participation Yang et al, 2016;Hass et al, 2019;Lan et al, 2020;Ngoc et al, 2021). A smaller proportion of the literature describes PFES more comprehensively as a policy practice by analysing the policy documents, case studies, and pre-existing literature but often with subjective lens of the authors and lack of multi-dimension lens of the complex situation through which PES can be understood (Van Hecken et al, 2018).…”
