WWF was one of the first International non-government organizations working in Vietnam. In 1985, WWF began working on a national conservation strategy and since then has worked closely with the Vietnamese Government on a diverse range of environmental issues and implemented field activities across the country.

WWF’s work on the New Deal for Nature & People is about securing the above ambitions. It strives to mobilize key stakeholders to encourage global decision-makers to play a leadership role. Key stakeholders include the public and civil society, business and the financial sector, as well as political players. Effectively engaging the stakeholders requires the strong involvement of teams and country offices across the WWF Network, supported by strong scientific research in order to make a strong science-based and economically sound case for urgent action.
The BIODEV2030 Project (Biodiversity Engagement Facilitation) contributes to the New Deal for Nature & People. It will support WWF-Vietnam to engage stakeholders to contribute to bending the curve on biodiversity decline by setting national and sectoral voluntary contributions and/or platforms.
