The Ministry of Planning and Investment organised a seminar in Hanoi on December 21 to announce the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its implementation in Vietnam.
The agenda, adopted at the UN Summit in New York on September 25-27, aims to maintain sustainable economic growth in tandem with social progress and justice and ecological environment protection, effectively manage and use natural resources and actively cope with climate change, towards building a peaceful, prosperous, inclusive, democratic, fair, civilised and sustainable society.
The Agenda 2030 makes ahead the vision for the next 15 years with 17 sustainable development goals and successive actions. The agenda has been added into the National Assembly and government’s resolutions on socio-economic development scheme.
The Ministry of Planning and Investment (MoPI) has cooperated closely with ministries, agencies, localities, domestic and international organisations to devise a national action plan for the implementation of the agenda which has been submitted to the Prime Minister in November.
The action plan comprises 115 goals, including eliminating every form of poverty; ensuring food security and sustainable and comprehensive economic growth; improving nutrition; promoting sustainable agricultural development; ensuring access to sustainable, reliable and affordable energy sources; and promoting global partnership for sustainable development until 2030, among others.
The action plan will also serve as a legal foundation for Vietnam to perform its commitments with the international community, responsibly contributing to the sustainable development-related global efforts.
From 2017 to 2020, the country will perfect sustainable development mechanisms, improve the efficiency of State management on national sustainable development, and ensure sufficient legal framework for the implementation of the action plan and sustainable development goals.
The action plan is expected to help Vietnam make responsible contributions to common global efforts to strengthen sustainable development.
Addressing the event, Nguyen Le Thuy, deputy chief of the sustainable development office from the MoPI’s Department of Environment and Natural Resources Planning and Education stressed the need to rally the involvement of ministries, centrally-run and local agencies, including the media, socio-political organisations, business community, development partners and the entire public for the effort.
