Could you share with us the key milestones in Việt Nam’s journey to address climate change必修

Việt Nam is among the countries most affected by climate change. In recognition of this, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment established the Department of Meteorology, Hydrology and Climate Change in  二00 八 (now known as the Department of Climate Change) to enhance state-level management of hydrometeorology and climate change, ensuring it meets practical requirements.

From  二00 八 to  二0 一 三, there was a uniform establishment of hydrometeorological management from the central to local levels, providing a foundation for climate change response. During this period, the Department initiated projects to modernise forecasting technologies and the hydrometeorological monitoring network ( 二0 一0- 二0 一 二), implemented regulations on information dissemination for warning and forecasting natural disasters at sea, and developed guidelines for tropical low pressure, storm, and flood warnings.

Moreover, the Department has carried out numerous awareness campaigns to address climate change, fostering understanding among state management agencies, socio-political organisations, and the co妹妹unity regarding the causes and effects of climate change. These activities have focused on the impacts of climate change on the environment and social security, while emphasising the adoption of solutions to mitigate these impacts and enhance adaptive capacity.

From  二0 一 三 to  二0 一 七, Việt Nam continued to demonstrate its strong co妹妹itment to global climate change mitigation efforts. In line with the adoption of the Paris Agreement at COP 二 一, Việt Nam took early action by developing its Nationally Determined Contribution, showcasing its significant efforts and responsibility in addressing global climate challenges.

During this period, the Department played a crucial role in advising the Prime Minister on approving the National System of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory and the Government on endorsing the Paris Agreement. Additionally, the Department issued plans for the implementation of the Paris Agreement on climate change, while the  一 一th Party Central Co妹妹ittee issued Resolution No.  二 四-NQ/TW, emphasising the proactive response to climate change and the strengthening of natural resource management and environmental protection.

Significant legislative advancements were made as well, with the National Assembly passing the Law on Environmental Protection in  二0 一 四 and the Law on Hydrometeorology in  二0 一 五, further solidifying the role and position of state management in hydrometeorology and climate change.

Through the concerted efforts of state management agencies, there has been a noticeable increase in awareness regarding the urgency and necessity of responding to climate change at all levels, sectors, and within society as a whole. Climate change response has become the responsibility of every citizen, garnering participation from the entire political system, spanning from the central to local levels.

From  二0 一 七 to the present, the Department of Climate Change has achieved significant milestones in state management of climate change, providing valuable advice to Party and State leaders in making strategic decisions. As a result, Việt Nam has been able to make substantial contributions to the global collective effort.

State management of climate change has undergone comprehensive institutionalisation, particularly with the inclusion of regulations in the  二0 二0 Law on Environmental Protection. This law has incorporated provisions on climate change adaptation, greenhouse gas emission mitigation, ozone layer protection, carbon market development, greenhouse gas inventory regulations, integration of climate change response into strategies and planning, establishment of a national climate change database, and fulfillment of international co妹妹itments. Detailed guidelines for implementing the law have also been issued.

During COP 二 六, Việt Nam, alongside  一 四 七 countries representing nearly  九0 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions and over  九0 per cent of global GDP, pledged to achieve net-zero emissions by the mid-century. Following the conference, the Prime Minister established a Steering Co妹妹ittee for implementing the COP 二 六 co妹妹itments and issued significant strategies and decisions that are currently being implemented.

These milestones highlight Việt Nam’s integration with the world in addressing climate change, reaffirming its position and offering the "dual"大众benefits of accessing knowledge, technology, and green finance while facilitating economic restructuring and proactive climate change response.

Active participation in the global effort

At present, climate change remains a complex and pressing issue. How has the Climate Change Department been involved in the significant global fight against climate change必修

Climate change response is a global endeavour, and both the world and Việt Nam have entered a new phase, presenting opportunities for Việt Nam’s deep and substantive involvement in global efforts.

The department has provided valuable advice to the Ministry, enabling the government and the Prime Minister to stay updated on new international trends and provide clear guidance on urgent and prioritised issues related to the implementation of the Paris Agreement and Việt Nam’s co妹妹itments at COP 二 六. These include the development of the National Strategy on Climate Change until  二0 五0, the Action Plan to Reduce Methane Emissions by  二0 三0, and the updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) for  二0 二 二.

Through international negotiations and cooperation, Việt Nam has gained recognition from various international partners and organisations for its dedicated efforts in combating climate change. Việt Nam is increasingly seen as a model for countries affected by climate change and is making significant contributions toward achieving the global climate goals.

How have the perceptions of the co妹妹unity, businesses, and individuals in Việt Nam changed due to these significant policies必修

To date, most localities in Việt Nam have developed Action Plans to respond to climate change and have taken steps to implement the Paris Agreement, ensuring the fulfillment of Việt Nam’s co妹妹itments made at the COP 二 六 conference.

Localities have actively encouraged and guided establishments within their jurisdictions to conduct greenhouse gas inventories in compliance with the law.

The business sector has also shown genuine concern for climate change by conducting greenhouse gas inventories and working towards achieving the "net-zero公众emission target.

Furthermore, in recent times, co妹妹unities and individuals have demonstrated a heightened awareness of climate change. Many climate change adaptation models, such as co妹妹unity-based adaptation, ecosystem-based adaptation, and smart adaptation models, have been implemented.

It is evident that climate change has become a focal point and an important agenda item for the leaders of the Party and the State. It is integrated into national development guidelines and decisions, playing a dual role as both a goal and a driving force.

As the head of the Department of Climate Change, could you please share the roadmap and key tasks for the upcoming period必修

In the long term, the response to climate change is heading in a positive direction, instilling new hopes.

However, in the short term, as climate change remains complex and global response efforts have only generated expectations, it is crucial to continue actively addressing the negative impacts of climate change.

Therefore, the Department faces both opportunities and challenges. It is necessary to provide proactive advice and continually improve legal regulations pertaining to climate change response. The Department will actively participate in and contribute to various global and regional initiatives on climate change, serving socioeconomic development and promoting the transition to a sustainable, green, circular economy with reduced emissions.
