The government has adopted an action plan to implement the Kyoto Protocol and combat climate change, said an official at a UN debate this week.
According to Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Tran The Ngoc, the plan aims to “manage and coordinate anti-climate change activities in Vietnam while achieving sustainable development.”
Ngoc explained the 2007-2010 plan to the UN General Assembly at a debate on climate change Tuesday and Wednesday this week.
He said the plan covers programs on renewable energy, energy conservation, reforestation and forest protection.
Ngoc added that a national program to cope with climate change is under development.
Ngoc stressed that climate change has become one of mankind’s greatest and most pressing challenges in recent decades and its adverse effects including sea-level rise, the shift of weather patterns and the increase of natural disasters are threatening the sustainable development of all countries throughout the world.
Ngoc also said that developing countries, including Vietnam, are suffering the most from the adverse effects of climate change.
He said international experts had predicted that Vietnam would be one of the top five countries most seriously affected by climate change in the future.
He said analysts had estimated that 22 million Vietnamese would be displaced if the sea level rises by an additional meter.
International cooperation
“It is a fact that no individual nation can resolve this difficult issue.
Climate change has no definable boundaries.
Therefore, international cooperation to deal with this global phenomenon is more necessary and critical than ever to avoid serious disruption of global and national economic and social activities,” Ngoc told the audience.
He reiterated that Vietnam has actively joined the international community in reaching multilateral agreements to address the impacts of climate change.
“We are now looking forward to joining efforts undertaken by the international community to achieve the ultimate objective of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change as well as global sustainable development,” the official concluded.
