NATIONAL CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION PLAN
FOR THE 2021-2030 PERIOD, WITH A VISION TOWARD 2050

(Promulgated together with the Prime Minister’s Decision No. 1055/QD-TTg
of July 20, 2020)

In furtherance of the Government’s Resolution No. 93/NQ-CP of October 31, 2016, approving the Paris Agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Prime Minister promulgates the National Climate Change Adaptation Plan for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision toward 2050, with the following contents:

I. CONTEXT

Climate change is one of the biggest threats confronting the mankind with incrementally increasing impacts on a global scale. Vietnam is among the countries most affected by climate change. Over the past 50 years, the country’s average temperature has increased by around 0.62 degree Celsius; in the period from 1993 to 2014, the coastal sea level rose by 3.34 mm/year; and disasters were on the rise in terms of both intensity and frequency. Climate change is an existing threat to the country’s goals of sustainable development, hunger eradication and poverty reduction. Losses and damage will continue to escalate, prompting the need to take urgent actions to mitigate damage and enhance state management of climate change.

Being well aware of seriousness of climate change, nations around the world, Vietnam included, ratified the Paris Agreement on Climate Change at the 21st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 21) in Paris in 2015, which came into force in 2016 (Paris Agreement). This is a global legal text binding all Parties to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, adapt to climate change, make financial contributions, transfer technologies, and build capacity, mostly through implementing the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). According to Article 7 of the Paris Agreement, the Parties to the Agreement have the responsibility to formulate and implement their national climate change adaptation plans. In 2015, Vietnam submitted to the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change the country’s NDC, consisting of a climate change adaptation component and a greenhouse gas emission reduction component.
