CapaViet 3

The main aim of CapaViet3 is to inform current and future officials, students, decision-makers, and the general public about technical and other suitable options for the remediation of contaminated areas. Based on a practical example in the Bắc Ninh province, CapaViet3 provides technology transfer through a co-creation approach to showcase appropriate problem-solving strategies. By combining this technology transfer with (further) educational measures, the CapaViet3 project aims to strengthen the competencies of local authorities, educational institutions and decision-makers in the management of contaminated areas in Vietnam.

In CapaViet3, German, local experts, and other relevant stakeholders jointly define suitable options for the remediation of contaminated areas identified in the previous projects of CapaViet1 and CapaViet2. This ensures that the implemented activities contribute to the protection of the environment and the local population.

A final exhibition in the Bắc Ninh province is intended to inform regional decision-makers and public officials about the risks that emanate from the contaminated area, to outline suitable options for action, possibilities for remediation, and to initiate inter-agency dialogues on how to deal with contaminated areas in the province of Bac Ninh. The presented options for action can serve as a guide for an exemplary environmental treatment and remediation plan.

The results obtained in the identification and elaboration process of options for action will be incorporated into the extension of the online course "Registration of Contaminated Sites in Vietnam". Accordingly, the course will be expanded by the course section "Remediation Methods for Contaminated Sites". Here, the investigated sites in Bắc Ninh will be included as case studies. Further educational measures will be supplemented by practical trainings in the use of mobile equipment for the detection of heavy metal contamination in the soil.
