According to the IPCC Vietnam is among the few countries
which are hardest hit by climate change and sea level rise.

In last 50 years, annual average t0 has been increased
about 5-0,70C, sea level have risen about 20cm, CC ->
Disasters, storms, floods, droughts.. More and more
severe

Coastal Deltas, especially Mekong Delta is projected to be
most inundated severely, sea level rises:
- 0,75m: about 19,0% of total area of Mekong delta will be
inundated
- 1m: about 37,8% of total area of Mekong delta will be
inundated
Vulnerable Area
Vulnerability to adverse effects of climate change in the
Southeast Asia region

MANAGEMENT AND
COORDINATION OF RELATED
CLIMATE CHANGE
PROGRAMS/PROJECTS
GENERAL PRINCIPLES
- Comply with laws, regulations of Vietnam and the
commitments within the international treaty which GOV has
been signed or been a member/party
-
consistency, express exactly policies/opinion of the
Government and mainstream into SEDP/SEDS in each
periods/terms, development of action plans within NTP-RCC
is a core
-
Facilitate and harmonize the coordination mechanism among
partners.
-
Manage and coordinate closely, effectively and transparently;
strengthen management and proactive capacity of Ministries,
sectors, localities and agencies
-
GENERAL PRINCIPLES
-
Inherit, appropriately utilize, and optimize uses of the existing
structures of management and coordination of the CC
projects/programs, especially the NTP-RCC
-
MONRE takes lead, collaborates with other ministries, sectors,
localities and agencies to develop the action plans responding to
CC, and to cooperate with international donors
-
Each related CC program/project which is approved to put into the
List will develop following the regulations of Decree

-
Different Applications for each particular type of programs/projects
(including TA or other Loans)
CONCLUSIONS
-
-
-
The programs/projects which are designed going through
state budget support (similar to NTP-RCC, SP-RCC) will
apply the coordination and management mechanism of
SPRCC together with enhancing the Policy dialogues as
ISGE
For other related CC programs/projects (similar to CTF…)
it is needed to strengthen cross- sect oral collaboration,
optimize uses of Int. consultancies in development process
of prioritized CC programs/projects
Flexible applications on management and coordination to
be suit to each particular case (TAs, Loans…)
POLICY DIALOGUES MACHENISM, ISGE
Establishing the focal
point for Policy dialogue
(PDPs) within the
framework of ISGE is very
necessary to enhance
focusable dialogues on
priorities relating to
natural resources and
environment
