Viet Nam: National adaptation plan for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050

Viet Nam is a country that is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. For this reason, Viet Nam fielded the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050. This NAP aims to mitigate vulnerability and risks from the negative impacts of climate change by strengthening the resilience and adaptive capacity of the natural, economic and social systems; minimise losses and damages caused by increasing natural disasters and climate extremes and sea level rise due to climate change; promote the integration of climate change adaptation into the strategies and master plans.

The NAP specifically identifies objectives, tasks and priority solutions for different sectors, fields and regions to adapt to climate change in the period 2021-2030 based on the analysed achievements, gaps and vulnerabilities as well as the coordination mechanism among ministries, sectors, provinces and external organisations in implementing these solutions; management and implementation of the Plan; NAP monitoring and evaluation system; periodic reviews and updates; financial resources for the NAP implementation.
