NATIONAL CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION PLAN FOR THE 2021 - 2030 PERIOD WITH A VISION BY 2050
(Enclosed with the Prime Minister’s Decision No. 1055/QD-TTg dated July 10, 2020)
For implementation of the Government’s Resolution No. 93/NQ-CP dated October 31, 2016 approving Paris Agreement for implementation of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Prime Minister promulgates the National climate change adaptation plan for the 2021 - 2030 period with a vision by 2050 which includes the following contents:
I. BACKGROUND
Climate change is one of the major threats to human with increasing impacts in global scope. Vietnam is one of the countries that are most affected by climate change. Over the past 50 years, the national average annual temperature increased by 0,62°C, the sea level rose by 3,34 mm/year over the 1993 – 2014 period, and there was an increase in intensity and frequency of disasters. Climate change poses risks to the national sustainable development and poverty reduction objectives. Losses and damage will continue to rise. Thus, actions should be immediately taken to mitigate damage and intensify the state management of climate change.
Acknowledging that climate change poses adverse impacts, the Paris Agreement on climate change has been adopted by consensus by many countries in the world, including Vietnam, at the 21st meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP 21) held in Paris in 2015, and went into force in 2016 (hereinafter referred to as “Paris Agreement”). This is a global legal framework binding upon the Parties to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, adapt to climate change, provide financial resources and perform technology transfer and capacity-building mainly through the implementation of nationally determined contributions (NDCs). Pursuant to the provisions in Article 7 of Paris Agreement, the Parties are responsible for developing and implementing their own national climate change adaptation plans. Vietnam has submitted NDCs to the UNFCCC secretariat in 2015, including an adaptation component and GHG mitigation component.
For implementation of such commitments, the Government promulgates the Resolution No. 93/NQ-CP dated October 31, 2016 approving Paris Agreement for implementation of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC); the Prime Minister promulgates the Decision No. 2053/QD-TTg dated October 28, 2016 approving the plan for implementation of Paris Agreement on climate change; according to these documents, development of the national climate change adaptation plan for the 2021 - 2030 period with a vision by 2050 is one of the duties established and performed in 2019.
There is a close and consistent linkage between the national climate change adaptation plan and NDCs. NDCs indicate the national commitments to reduce GHG emissions and adapt to climate change at strategic level. The national climate change adaptation plan provides specific details on the adaptation component included in NDCs and priority climate change adaptation actions. Implementing the national climate change adaptation plan will help effectively use human resources, intensify the capacity to manage and coordinate financial and technical matters, avoid overlapping management and promote the participation of communities, enterprises and international organizations in fulfillment of adaptation objectives included in NDCs and also help Vietnam achieve sustainable development objectives.
II. VIEWPOINT AND OBJECTIVES
1. Viewpoints
a) Climate change response and disaster management requirements are considered important contents of development decisions.
b) Climate change adaptation contents should be included in relevant policies, strategies and planning.
c) The climate change adaptation must be associated with sustainable development, improvement of resilience of natural and social systems, and taking advantage of opportunities arising from climate change.
d) Ensure equal benefits which will encourage relevant parties to actively participate in climate change actions, effectively manage, extract and use natural resources, and protect environment.
2. Objectives
a) General objectives
The national climate change adaptation plan aims to reduce vulnerability and risks from climate change impacts through strengthening resilience and adaptation capacity of communities, economic sectors and ecosystems; promote the integration of climate change adaptation contents into relevant strategies and planning.
b) Specific objectives:
- Improve the effectiveness of climate change adaptation through intensifying the state management of climate change, including climate change adaptation contents, and promoting the integration of climate change adaptation contents into relevant strategies and planning.
- Improve the resilience and adaptation capacity of communities, economic sectors and ecosystems through making investments in adaptation actions, science and technology, and increasing public awareness to be ready to adapt to climate change.
- Reduce disaster risks and minimize damage in order to be ready to cope with disasters and extreme climate events increased due to climate change.
III. TASKS AND SOLUTIONS
