Building sea dyke – one of the solutions for Việt Nam to counter impacts of climate change

The action plans should incorporate projects and programs relating to climate change to make it easy for future capital allocation and mobilization, the Deputy PM said.

Ministries, sectors and localities need to review climate change projects and divide them into domestically-funded, foreign funded, short-term, or long-term categories.

He urged relevant bodies to issue criteria for a climate change project, create related administrative forms and appoint implementers who will work with donors for maximum financial resources in the time to come.

Recently, Việt Nam has received increasing technical and financial support and assistance from the international community in addressing impacts of the global climate change. The total support given to Việt Nam has amounted to US $1 billion so far.
