Government Decision No 60/2007/NQ-CP Dated 03

Dec. 2007: Assign Ministry of Natural Resources andEnvironment to be in charge, in collaboration with

other Ministries and Sectors, to develope National

Target Program on Climate Change Adaptation, searchfor international assistance for the Program, and

submit to the Prime Mnister in the Second Quarter of

2008.

INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION

1) The National Target Program (NTP) will communicate priority

activities addressing the urgent and immediate needs and concerns

of the country, relating to adaptation to the impacts of CC.

2) Activities proposed through NTP would be those whose further

delay could increase vulnerability, or lead to increased costs at a

later stage.

3) The NTP will be presented in the form of a document specifying alist of priority activities, with a concise justification based on a

tight set of criteria.

4) The NTP document will not be an end in itself, but rather a means

for the dissemination, of its proposed program of action to address

its urgent needs for adaptation. The priority activities identified

through the NTP process will be made available for funding,.

I. OBJECTIVES AND SCOPEI. OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE

Objectives of the Activity is to develop the national target

program for coping with climate change, focusing onawareness raising on climate change, and policy

development for the country about climate change

mitigation and adaptation, integrating climate change

information into the social-economic development

strategy, provincial, sector development strategy and

international commitment.


5/34

Scope of Work

1) Identify CC features of Vietnam due to global CC;

2) Assess CC impacts on national, provincial, sectoral

development plans and programs;

3) Identify the needs adaptation to potential impacts of CC;

4) Develop effective adaptation measures to be integrated

into national, sectoral and provincial social-economic

development plans and strategy;

5) Identify a portfolio of priority activities/projects to be

implemented for the most sensitive and vulnerable sectors

and provinces;

6) Identify a policy of Vietnam on international and regional

cooperation and negotiation on CC mitigation and

adaptation.

2.2.2 Preliminary Evaluation of CC ImpactsEvaluate the impacts of CC on different socio-economic sectors,

industries and localities, especially those are sensitive and

vulnerable to effects of CC.1)Impacts of CC on Natural Resources: Water sources; Effects of

SLR; Land use; Environment; Ecosystems.

2)Impacts of CC on Sectors: Energy; Construction; Transportation;

Healthcare; Agriculture, forestry and aquaculture; Natural resources

and environment; Tourism; Labor, invalids and social affairs.

3)Impacts of CC on Regions: Northern mountainous region; Red river

delta region; North central; South central coastal; Central highlands;South eastern; Mekong River delta.

response to CC. Studies should be conducted in a such way to

model, analyze and evaluate the potential damage andadaptability. They also need to quantify the effects of CC on

National Millennium Goals;

Apply scientific and technology advancements into projecting

and warning of CC.

2.4.1 Identification of Key Adaptation Needs7)Financing

Combine funds source from State budget, international

assistances and private sector investments as one financial

source to support activities in CC adaptation.8)International Cooperation and Negotiation

Enhance international cooperation in providing training and

building capacity for those staff involved in related fields via

direct investments, workshops, sending staff to study overseas,

consultancy for the construction and expansion of an early

warning and prediction system for CC.

Cooperate in developing policies, constitutions and standardsconcerning CC adaptation on regional and global scale.

The role of Vietnam in the region and in the world in

negotiations on reducing emissions, emission trading,

management and utilization of the Adaptation Fund, etc.

2.4.2 Development of National Target Program on CC

Adaptation in Relationship with Development Goals

It is necessary to considerer CC is a policy barrier to

inhibit the development. It impact on the existing

national strategies and policies. To find the gaps in

the national strategy and policy due to CC is

necessary in order to integrate CC information to

enhance the strategies and policies for human and

social-economic development.

The strategy for CC adaptation should be rationale to

the needs of social economic development of the

country.



20/34

2.5.1 Identification of a Portfolio of Priority

Activities/Projects to be Implemented

Identify programs, projects or policies need to be

implemented to mitigate and adapt CC impacts on the

community and sectors.

Based on the criteria set forth in national and regional

strategies, adaptation activities will be selected to beprioritized. Such criteria include:

- Impact of CC on the lives and livelihoods of the communities;

- Poverty reduction in order to enhance the adaptability;

- Consistency with multilateral commitments;

- Cost effectiveness.

2.5 Identification of Priority Activities


21/34

Criteria for selection of priority will be applicable to:

Lost of life and livelihood damage;

Community health; Food and agriculture security;

Water sources;

Key infrastructure; Cultural heritage;

Biodiversity;

Management of land use and forest;

Costal zone and land loss;

Other values;.



22/34

Some Programs/Projects may include:

1)Awareness raising: To improve public awareness on CC,normally at local level with the direct participation of the community;

2)Information and studies: Develop basic foundations for studiesto identify activities including the construction of a monitoring system,

development of CC scenarios, and analysis of vulnerability;

3)Capacity building and early warning system: To provideinformation that delivers specialized information and specific activities

to the people;

4)Leadership and policy making: This is applicable to planningprocess, e.g. 5-year development plan, to manage risk due to CC;



23/34

Some Programs/Projects may include:

5)Investment: Direct activities include changes the management ofnatural resources at household, regional and national level;

6)Organizational restructuring, laws and regulation

enforcement: Changes for the better in policies, managementstructure of natural resources a, barrier removal in CC adaptation.

Encouragement of effective use of natural resources;

7)Finance and insurance: To mitigate risks via financial andinsurance mechanisms;

8)Foreign cooperation: Negotiations on CC.



24/34

Project Scope could be:1) At vulnerable community level, e.g. poorest people in most

vulnerable to climate change community;

2) At small local level, Assessment of household living standart,

livelihood and possibility to improve the adaptation capacity to

climate change of the communes;

3) At sectoral level, Relating to Ministries and Sectors from

infrastructural development and sectoral development plan andstrategy;

4) At regional level, including development plans of sectors in the

regions or provinces, regional projection and infrastructure

development;

5) At national level, including national development programs,

projects such as policy development, planning with the

involvement of many ministries and sectors.
