Background:
Development Context
Viet Nam is among the countries most vulnerable to the effects of climate change: the Global Climate Risk Index 2021 ranks Viet Nam 13th on the list of countries most affected by disasters and extreme weather events.
Communities in coastal regions are increasingly vulnerable to climate and disaster-related impacts, and it is estimated that more than 70% of the population will be severely exposed to climate and disaster risks, threatening their livelihoods and resilience.
At the same time, the significant role of coastal ecosystems in sequestering and storing 'blue carbon' is increasingly being recognized by policymakers.
In addition to mitigation benefits, these coastal 'blue carbon' ecosystems are home to a wealth of biodiversity and provide communities with essential ecosystem services, such as coastal protection from storms and land erosion, and nursery grounds for fish.
As such, they provide a full spectrum of mitigation, adaptation, and protection benefits.
Economic development, population growth, changes in consumption patterns and improved transportation networks, however, have increased demand for timber, medicinal plants, wildlife, and marine products, resulting in overexploitation of terrestrial, coastal, and marine resources.
As a result, the natural resources of Viet Nam's coastal zones have been degraded, fish spawning sites lost, and the income of local communities reduced.
Climate change is also negatively impacting the extent and quality of coastal and marine ecosystems, from both the direct destructive impacts of typhoons, storm surges, and slow-paced sea level rise as well as changes in water temperature, salinity, and the acidification of seawater.
Corporate Background
UNDP works in about 170 countries and territories, helping to achieve the eradication of poverty, and the reduction of inequalities and exclusion.
We help countries to develop policies, leadership skills, partnering abilities, and institutional capabilities and build resilience in order to sustain development results.
UNDP is working to strengthen new frameworks for development, disaster risk reduction, and climate change. We support countries' efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, which will guide global development priorities through 2030.The key 2030 Agenda principle of leaving no one behind and stamping out inequality is at the core of everything we do.
UNDP focuses on helping countries build and share solutions in three main areas:- Sustainable development
- Democratic governance and peacebuilding
- Climate and disaster resilience
In all our activities, we encourage the protection of human rights and the empowerment of women, minorities, and the poorest and most vulnerable.
Overview of UNDP Viet Nam's Climate Change & Environment Unit
The UNDP Viet Nam Climate Change & Environment (CCE) unit covers the following areas of work:
- low-carbon development and green growth, including sustainable production and consumption patterns;
- reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD);
- adaptation and resilience to the impacts of climate change and disasters;
- natural resources and biodiversity conservation;
- health digitalization focusing on telehealth and the 'one health' nexus of climate change and environment in the health sector; and
- environmental protection.
UNDP support focuses on advocacy, policy research and formation, capacity and partnership building and coordination, technology testing and transfer, piloting models, and promoting the participation of businesses and local communities.
In addition, under the global Climate Promise programme, UNDP (in collaboration with other partners) promotes a multi-stakeholder approach to respond to the causes and effects of climate change, which means engaging the private sector in taking actions and moving towards sustainability, and the youth networks who are demanding faster climate action and have promising solutions to showcase.
