Vietnam commits to working with the community to respond to climate change
Vietnam's efforts to respond to climate change are highly appreciated by international friends.
Vietnam is one of the first three developing countries in the world to complete the Biennial Update Report to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which has been highly appreciated by the international community. This is a concrete and practical demonstration of Vietnam's commitment to respond to global climate change with the international community as well as fulfilling its obligations as a developing country participating in the Climate Convention.
Mr. Pham Van Tan, Deputy Director of the Department of Hydrometeorology and Climate Change, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, said that 2015 is a decisive year in the negotiation to build a global legal agreement on climate change. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment will complete the members of the Working Group on Climate Change Negotiations to suit the new situation.
Mr. Pham Van Tan said: “The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment has been assigned by the Prime Minister to coordinate with ministries and sectors to develop a plan for the national contribution. This plan is expected to include contributions in terms of greenhouse gas emission reduction, climate change adaptation, technology transfer and finance. We hope to complete it by May to submit to the Government for consideration and submission to the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. This will be Vietnam's specific contribution to the global fight against climate change.”/.
