The Climate Public Expenditure and Investment Review (CPEIR) report provides a review of climate change expenditures and budgets of 6 ministries (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD), Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment MONRE), Ministry of Transport MOT), Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT), Ministry of Construction (MOC), and Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), and 28 provinces and one nationally managed city (Can Tho). This concerns public investment and recurrent expenditure with domestic resources as well as Official Development Assistance (ODA). It covers the period 2016-2020, and also includes some expenditure data for the period 2011-2015 on 5 ministries (MARD, MONRE, MOT, MOIT, MOC) and three provinces (An Giang, Bac Ninh and Quang Nam). It reviews relevant national, sectoral and province/city policies on climate change and green growth for the period 2011-2020.

The CPEIR makes recommendations on enhancement of climate change planning and budgeting. This includes a recommendation on climate change expenditure tracking of national and provincial/city budgets, to strengthen the climate change responsiveness of public finance management and inform climate change policy. The analysis can also contribute to mobilization and diversification of funding for climate change action. This Summary for Policy Makers highlights some findings and focuses on the recommendations.
