Local authorities and World Bank representatives discuss the future of climate change in Vietnam.

The “South-South cooperation to replicate value chain initiatives to adapt to climate change” project, which has been implemented in Laos, Cambodia, China, and Vietnam, contains 60 effective agricultural production models for deployment and replication. Vietnam contributed 42 of these models.

The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment will finish the National Strategy on Climate Change to 2050, develop an Action Plan to reduce methane emissions by 2030, and implement the National Green Growth Strategy, among other tasks, as a part of Vietnam's COP26 commitments. The greatest challenge for the country is a lack of relevant human resources.

On November 2, in a speech at the announcement of a commitment to reduce global methane emissions at COP26, Prime Minister (PM) Pham Minh Chinh called on wealthy countries to support developing countries in gas finance. He also proposed shortening the gap between emissions reduction commitments and the development levels between countries to achieve carbon neutrality.

The United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, and five provinces in the central highlands and south-central coast have launched a $30 million climate change adaptation project funded by the Green Climate Fund (GCF), to strengthen the resilience of small-scale agriculture and water security.
