    The revision is meant to meet economicdevelopment requirements, enhance inter-regional connectivity in climate changeresponse, and perfect the legal framework for realising Vietnam’s commitmentsin international agreements. It will help not only address challenges posed byclimate change but also make use of the chances generated by this globalphenomenon, he noted.

    Country Director of GIZ Vietnam JasperAbramowski said Vietnam, which has a long coastline and many deltas, is highlyvulnerable to climate change. It has been taking solutions to cope with climatechange, and the German Government has also actively helped with the making ofclimate change-related laws in Vietnam.

    He added that with the support and cooperationof the GIZ, Germany’s knowledge and experience will prove useful for theamendment and supplementation of the relevant articles in the Law onEnvironment Protection, as well as for the coordination with different localagencies in dealing with climate change issues to realise Vietnam’s commitmentsin the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.
