In his opening speech, Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Tran Hong Ha said as there were many different views on IDNC during negotiation sessions on climate change at the 19 th Session the Conference of the Parties to the UN Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 19), there is no available guidance on building the report.
However, there is not much time until convention participating countries have to submit their INDC, so the country should quickly develop its own report, which should be conducted transparently with the involvement of all related parties, including the country’s international development partners, Ha stressed.
Participants gave their opinions on the contents and form of Vietnam’s INDC, including contributions related to climate change adaptation and relief, the country’s ability to receiving and transferring technology in the field, and coordination mechanisms between relevant ministries, sectors and organisations in making the report.
