The Municipal People’s Committee assigned the Department of Natural Resources and Environment to take prime responsibility to implement the plan. Particularly, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment will be in charge of supervising, evaluating the implementation of the agreement in the area; periodically reviewing the implementation process so that the People’s Committee will give reports to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment and National Committee on Climate Change.
Meanwhile, districts, suburban districts and towns will be responsible for directing Divisions of Natural Resource and Environment to supervise, evaluate duty performance in localities; give reports on implementation situation to the Municipal People’s Committee and the Department of Natural Resources and Environment for general summary.
