Vietnam

Vietnam's Climate Change Overview and Commitments

Vietnam, officially the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, is situated in Southeast Asia, covering 331,000 square kilometers with a population of over 100 million. It shares land borders with China, Laos, and Cambodia, and maritime borders with several nations in the South China Sea. Vietnam’s largest city is Ho Chi Minh City, while its capital is Hanoi.

As a developing country that has recently embarked on industrialization, Vietnam is highly vulnerable to climate change. Despite challenges in resources, Vietnam has consistently demonstrated its commitment to international climate agreements. It submitted its first Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) in 2015, ratified the Paris Agreement, and developed a National Plan for its implementation. The 2020 Environmental Protection Law further outlines responsibilities for greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction and climate adaptation.

At COP26, Vietnam pledged to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 with international cooperation and support. The country also committed to reducing methane emissions by 30% by 2030 and to the Global Coal to Clean Power Transition Statement, emphasizing renewable energy sources. Vietnam’s National Climate Change Strategy to 2050 and other policies provide a roadmap for achieving these goals, including measures for GHG inventory, monitoring, and emission reductions across key sectors such as energy, agriculture, waste, and industrial processes.

In 2022, Vietnam updated its NDC, reflecting increased ambition and alignment with its COP26 commitments. The updated NDC includes a 15.8% unconditional reduction in GHG emissions by 2030, which could increase to 43.5% with international support. Vietnam’s adaptation strategies also prioritize vulnerable groups, including women, children, the elderly, and ethnic minorities, aiming to build resilience and minimize losses from climate impacts.
