The
project, which is commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for the
Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB),
will be implemented until 2019.
Addressing the
event, Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Tran Hong Ha
expressed his hope that the project would be effectively implemented
and achieve desired goals.
As one of the
countries suffering the worst impacts of climate change , Ha said,
Vietnam has issued many laws and policies to mitigate those impacts such
as the National Strategy for Disaster Prevention, Response and
Mitigation to 2020; and the National Strategy and National Plan of
Action on Climate Change.
Ulrich Nicklas,
representative of the BMUB, appreciated the traditional cooperation
between the two countries’ ministries.
Vietnam
is a priority partner of the International Climate Initiative and since
2008, 39 bilateral and multilateral projects, relating to CO2
mitigation, adaptation and absorption and biodiversity preservation,
have been carried out in the Southeast Asian country.
Jochem Lange, GIZ chief representative, said that the agency would
use its expertise and international experience to implement the
project./.
