The Government of Vietnam is currently revising its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and plans to submit the final version to UNFCCC in 2020. Notably, implementing NDCs can support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) across all sectors and levels of government. The implementation of NDCs can also support other, related international frameworks and agreements, such as the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 or the Gender Action Plan (GAP).
In Vietnam, the Climate Change Working Group (CCWG) has been advocating the engagement of CSOs in the NDC towards the inclusive progress at booth revision and implementation. Therefore, with coordination and support from Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) and SNV Vietnam, CCWG will organize an international conference titled: “Ready for COP25: Ways towards inclusive NDC implementation”.
Objectives
The overall objective is to enhance the engagement of civil society organizations with the Vietnamese government in the NDC revision progress in order to assist the government in achieving its Paris Agreement commitment.
