Vietnam plays active role in climate change response

Vietnam is committed to reducing emissions, changing into a ‘green’ economy and demonstrating responsibility in protecting the environment.

With the updated NDC and higher contributions, Vietnam has received lavish praise from the UNFCC Secretariat and NDC Partnership. In their letters, they hailed Vietnam’s efforts in responding to the global climate change.

Vietnam has reviewed and updated contributions to the mitigation and adaptation to make them more in line with the current situation and socio-economic development forecasts up to 2030.

Although Vietnam has been hard hit by climate change, through the updated NDC, the country has shown its utmost efforts in response to climate change.

The Vietnamese Government has taken climate change response as a vital issue. Carrying out the updated NDC is the responsibility of both state and enterprises.

Vietnam updates its NDC by raising its emission reduction target to combat climate change, and outlining detailed actions.

We must not forget that climate change remain as the biggest threat facing humanity over the long term.

Vietnam’s strategic planning and sustained commitments to ambitious climate change actions and the Paris Agreement’s targets are greatly appreciated.

as a developing country with limited resources, Vietnam has pursued sustainable development goals, adding developing low-carbon economy and promoting the formation of a circular economy have been a key in the national strategies.

Vietnam will work more to implement concrete strategies, plans and actions, such as reducing the use of fossil fuels and pushing the development of renewable energy, green finance, and carbon market in the future.

Việt Nam will certainly not pursue pure economic growth at the expense of social progress and equality. We're committed to protecting the environment for the people.

The world is witnessing compounding effects at an unprecedented scale and scope arising from three major catastrophes, namely the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, and natural resource depletion, not to mention ageing populations in many countries.

The green recovery, green economy and circular economy must be vigorously pursued at the national, regional and global levels.

We need to answer the way of thinking methodology, develop a practical approach and shift from passive response to a harmonious method with the effective combination of active response and transition towards the green economy.

We need to uphold the spirit of unity, responsibility and mutual respect among countries in the common interests of humanity given the current situation.

Việt Nam is determined to pursue its dual goals despite numerous challenges, which means coping with the pandemic effectively while fostering fast and sustainable socio-economic recovery and development.

Việt Nam is one of the seven founding members of P4G and has taken various actions to show its determination to work with member countries to realise the global green goals in 2030.

Việt Nam has contributed to the efforts of the international community in responding to climate change and speeding up green recovery.

Việt Nam has engaged in multilateral mechanisms on climate while integrating climate change issues into its official documents.

Vietnam hopes to promote international cooperation in trade, investment, the environment, renewable energy, sustainable development, and climate change response in the Mekong Delta region.
