The countryhas low greenhouse gas emissions, which will increase sharply due toindustrialisation and dependence on fossil fuel.

    Being aware of challenges posed by climate change,the Vietnamese government approved a national programme to cope with climatechange in 2008, a national strategy to deal with climate change in 2011, and anational strategy on green growth from 2012.

    The government called on the involved parties,especially young people, to actively join social activities in response toclimate change because youngsters are the key force of the society, affectingthe country’s social development.

    The programme aims to facilitate the implementationof public policy dialogues relating to macro economic issues in associationwith climate change and energy conversion.

    Accordingly, Vietnam will be the first nation inAsia to get benefits from this programme.
