Abstract
The biennial report of Vietnam includes updated information on the greenhouse gas emissions for the base years which are specified by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change for reporting on greenhouse gas emissions by member nations of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The estimation of greenhouse gas emissions in general and carbon emissions in particular in the field of land use, land use change, and forestry using advanced technology to provide the input data was recommended. Remote sensing technology with transparency, multi-time characteristics, and wide coverage is useful in this area. An experiment on carbon emission estimation was carried out based on land cover change over ten years between 2002 and 2012. The results obtained by remote sensing data classification for the land cover categories achieved a reliability of 68% for the year 2002 and 67% for the year 2012. Data in relation to the land cover change, soil zoning, and ecological/climate zoning in the Vietnamese mainland, through the process of integrating, processing, and synthesizing data, and using the reported activity data and carbon emission coefficients, were input into the Agriculture and Land Use Greenhouse Gas Inventory Software for carbon emission estimations based on the quality control and quality assurance work.
