Climate Change in Vietnam: Analysis of Impacts, Programs and Policies

This report provides an overview of climate change in Vietnam, highlighting the increase in temperature, rising sea levels, and the impact on various sectors. It discusses the current climate change situation and the government's programs and policies, such as the National Target Program to Respond To Climate Change (NTPRCC) and the Vietnam Clean Energy Program. The report also evaluates the effectiveness of these initiatives, pointing out the lack of awareness, insufficient funding, and incomplete research as contributing factors. It concludes that the Vietnamese government struggles to control the effects of climate change, despite efforts to mitigate the impacts. The report references several sources to support its findings, including studies on the economic costs of climate change and the capacity for climate change adaptation in Vietnam. The report is available on Desklib, a platform offering past papers and solved assignments to help students.

CLIMATE CHANGE
IN VIETNAM

INTRODUCTION
Vietnam experiences increase in
temperature
Extreme weather
Rise in sea level
natural hazards
Vietnam, by 2020 is expected to become the most affected country through climate
change
This assignment tends to highlight the climate governance in Vietnam.

CLIMATE CHANGE IN VIETNAM
• Annual temperature increased to somewhere
about 0.5 degrees in the last two decades
(Source: unfccc.int, 2020).
• Rainfall in the current year increased in one
region and decreased in other drastically
(Source: unfccc.int, 2020).
• Rise in sea level along the country’s coast to
about 2.8mm from the last year
(Source: unfccc.int, 2020).
(Source: unfccc.int, 2020).

IMPACTS
•Agricultural activities
•Gross Domestic Product
•Population

PROGRAMS
• NTPRCC- National Target Program To Respond To Climate Change
• NTPEE- National Target Program On Energy Efficiency
• SPRCC- Support Program For Response To Climate Change
• USAID- Vietnam Clean Energy Program

VIETNAM NOT DOING ENOUGH?
• Lack of awareness
• Improper or incomplete research
• Lack of proper implementation of policies
(Source: Arndt, Tarp & Thurlow, 2015).
• Fail to provide sufficient funds
(Source: Source: unfccc.int, 2020)
(Source: Source: unfccc.int, 2020)

CONCLUSION
• Vietnam government fails to understand and
control the impact of the climate change effects
(Source: Nguyen et al, 2017).
• Although, there are enough programs and policies
made to control the impact, result is not positive
(Source: usaid.gov, 2020).
