According to representatives at a policy dialogue on climate change before COP 21 held last week, Vietnam's Intended National Determined Contributions consist of two components including adaptation and mitigation consulted by international and domestic experts. The adaptation component will present the country's priorities in adapting to climate changes between 2021 and 2030.
Vietnam now ranks 31st in terms of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. Vietnam, especially the Mekong Delta region was known as one of the areas suffering the most from climate change. Participating in COP 21 negotiations would give a chance to Vietnam to be involved in setting up global policies related to climate change adaptation and mitigation.
