Workshop on Climate Change Policies to foster the implementation of the commitments at COP26

 

CCWG in partnership with Institute of Hydrology and Meteorology Science and Climate Change (IMHEN) and the support from Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung Viet Nam is organizing a national workshop to share the key updates and potential strategic contribution of VUSTA, CCWG to support the implementation the country climate goals at COP26 and beyond.

The Post-COP workshop aims to share with VUSTA members, CCWG’s members and stakeholders updates of relevant policies after COP26 such as the National Climate Change Strategy (NCCS), NDCISP and National Adaptation Plan (NAP)  as well as to discuss the potential strategic contribution of the members of VUSTA, CCWG to support the implementation period.  

 

Objective of the workshop

CCWG and CANSEA joint Position Paper on Climate Finance for Adaptation

Background
The latest IPCC report and the increased focus on locally led adaptation highlights the importance of providing support to the most vulnerable communities and locations at subnational levels. This is in stark contrast to the realities of current international climate finance flows. Less than 10 percent of international adaptation finance, between 2003 and 2016, was approved for locally focused climate change projects (Soanes et al., 2019). The current climate finance mechanisms must be revisited to ensure that finance is received by those who need it the most and that interventions are supported by organisations with in-depth understanding of the local context for implementation, namely Civil Society Organisations (CSOs).

Ready for COP25: Ways towards inclusive NDC implementation

 

The Government of Vietnam is currently revising its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and plans to submit the final version to UNFCCC in 2020.
