This National Strategy for Climate Change until 2050 is a cross-sectoral policy document covering the period of 2022-2050. The overall objectives of the policy are: Adapt effectively, reduce vulnerability, losses, and damage caused by climate change; reduce greenhouse gas emission following net zero emission target by 2050, positively contribute and be responsible to international community in protecting global climate; utilize opportunities brought by climate change adaptation to shift growth model, increase resistance and competitiveness of the economy. In order to achieve the overall objectives, specific objectives are identified. The specific objectives for adapttion to climate change include: Reduce vulnerability and risk posed by climate change by improving resistance and adaptation capacity of natural, economic, and social systems, re duce damage caused by natural disasters and extreme weather caused by climate change. By 2030: 1. Be able to control deterioration of water resources and land resources, ensure adequate water supply for daily activities, industrial activities, services, and important economic sectors. 2. Cultivars and domestic animals are shifted so as to adapt to climate change; develop sustainable value chain of agricultural, forestry, and fishery products; ensure food security and balance national nutrition. 3. Ensure a minimum 42% of forest coverage; area of terrestrial reserves equals 9% of land area, area of reserved sea waters and coastal sites equals at least 5% of natural area of national sea waters. 4. At least 95% of the population is provided with clean, sanitized water; at least 80% of the population has access to standard clean water; meet disease and epidemic prevention requirements; 80% of the households in areas prone to natural disasters have safe houses; successfully relocate at least 70% of households locating in areas prone to flash floods or landslide to safer areas. The specific objectives for reduction of greenhouse gas emission are: Achieve net zero emission by 2050, positively and responsibly contribute towards protection of global climate; improve economic growth quality and competitiveness. By 2030, total greenhouse gas emission nationwide reduces by 43,5% compared to the business as usual (BAU) scenario. By 2050, total greenhouse emission nationwide achieves net zero emission; emission peaks in 2035 and reduces rapidly. The Strategy further sets up greenhouse gas emission reduction objectives by sectors. Agriculture sector will adopt solutions for reducing emission in agriculture via solutions for managing and renovating technology in cultivation, husbandry, changing land use method, developing low emission agriculture value chains and processing and preserving after harvest. Agriculture sector will also develop sustainable organic agriculture, shift plant species composition, manage integrated crop. For forestry and land use, solutions include: protect existing natural forest in mountainous regions and coastal areas in order to closely monitor forest conversion, forest loss, and degradation to reduce greenhouse gas emission; Manage forest sustainable and forest certification in order to reduce emission via controlling forest loss, degradation, fire, and biomass fire; etc. Waste sector will implement solutions for managing and reducing waste from production to consumption, expand responsibilities of manufacturers; increase reuse and recycling of waste.
