tailieunhanh - The international community and the “NTP for coping with CC”

Support to the mitigation of effects of CC and adaptation to new realities. Support to mitigation of GHG emissions. Support to developing carbon markets. Support to research, data collection and analysis. Support to development of national policies, strategies, plans. Support to national-international coordination, policy dialogue, ODA channeling | The international community and the “NTP for coping with CC” Koos Neefjes, UNDP ISGE Policy Dialogue Hanoi, 23 January 2008 This presentation: 1. Current international support to Viet Nam on CC (UNDP and others) 2. What is needed, now and later? 3. International support, cooperation and coordination 2 1. Current international support to Viet Nam on CC • Support to the mitigation of effects of CC and adaptation to new realities • Support to mitigation of GHG emissions • Support to developing carbon markets • Support to research, data collection and analysis • Support to development of national policies, strategies, plans • Support to national-international coordination, policy dialogue, ODA channeling 3 2. What is needed, now and later? (a) VN and other experience: a full, comprehensive NTP cannot be developed in just 6-7 months, but a general CC policy and an outline of action plans can. So (I, II, III .) I. An overall, national policy or strategy, with two CC-related policy aims, on reducing vulnerabilities for CC effects and on mitigation of GHG emissions. .: • Set the target year by which Viet Nam will have started significant reduction of CC vulnerabilities of critical sectors and localities to the main effects of CC (. sea level rise, increased drought in certain localities) • Set the target year by which Viet Nam will start reducing its carbon footprint (the HDR suggests that on average the developing countries should start that after 2020) 4 2. What is needed, now and later? (b) • Formulate a strategic framework to achieve both policy aims • Stress the importance of and potential for synergies between economic development, vulnerability reduction and GHG reduction in the medium and long term, instead of “trade offs”. This will require technology transfers, R&D, capacity building, finance • Use this policy (a) to mainstream CC-related vulnerability reduction and emissions mitigation in all sorts of national strategies and national action plans; (b)
