Policies and legislation on climate change need to be specified

Date: 21/05/2014

At the recent conference on the implementation of policies and legislation on coping with climate change in Vietnam, the delegates assumed that policies and legislation on coping with climate change should be more specific.

Currently, there are more than 300 different documents about responding to climate change, which proves the special concern of the Party and State on this issue. However, Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Tran Hong Ha emphasized that, although the policies are promptly and synchronously issued, they are not specific, only aiming at orientation. In addition, the majority of socio-eco development planning of sectors, fields, localities has not been supplemented with climate change factor, etc.

Mekong Delta promotes ecosystem-based climate change adaptation

Date: 31/05/2014

A project on enhancing ecosystem-based climate change adaptation in the Mekong Delta region was discussed by Vietnamese and foreign scientists at a workshop held in Can Tho city on May 27.

The event was jointly organised by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the Steering Committee for the Southwestern Region.

Aided by German’s Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety, the 2014-2018 project aims to improve the region’s resistance to climate change through restoring flood prevention and regulation ability in Dong Thap Muoi and Long Xuyen Quadrangle areas.

Under the project, functioning ecosystems in coastal areas can provide helpful services to support farm production and aquaculture activities in salt water zones, as well as help locals to mitigate and adapt to climate change.
