Climate Change

Initiatives raised by Vietnamese young people will be added to the Global Youth Statement at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27) to take place in Egypt in November.

Collecting ideas of young people is one of Vietnam’s efforts to promote the engagement of stakeholders in the common drive against climate change.

The USAID and the KOICA intend to strengthen the impact and increase the efficiency of their programs and achieve better measurable outcomes for the people in Vietnam.

The move is among Hanoi's efforts to fulfill Vietnam's commitment made at COP26 on climate change.

Organizations will be willing to invest much more than today in addressing climate change over the next three to five years.

The strategy is significant given the fact that Vietnam has long been seen as one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change, natural disasters, and diseases.

Given its central geostrategic location, a burgeoning economy, and large population, Vietnam is fast becoming a key partner of the UK in the Indo-Pacific region.

The UN members said this is an important topic concerning global efforts and actions, requiring a comprehensive approach.

Vietnam has so far increased its nationwide forest coverage to 42%, equivalent to 14.6 million hectares.
