Climate change

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Vietnam will be one of the countries most affected by climate change.

Under the emerging climate change agenda, the Australian aid program places a high priority on disaster mitigation, which forms a major part of any response to climate change adaptation in Vietnam.

Australia has also supported Vietnam in the formulation of the first National Target Program to Respond to Climate Change.

Australia's advocacy efforts have been successful in influencing macro level policy for an integrated disaster risk management approach, which is reflected in the National Strategy for Disaster Mitigation and Management up to 2020 and through support to the Natural Disaster Risk Management Project.
