Description

Vietnam is seen as both one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change in the world, as well as one of the fastest growing emitters of GHG emissions.  

1.5% of Vietnam’s GDP is lot to climate hazards every year, leaving 45 million people affected over the last 30 years. 

Morgane is a Circular Economy Officer at the United Nations Development Programme and is currently working on the National Adaptation Plan (NAP - 2021-2030) and the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) of the Country.

Simply put, an NDC is a climate action plan to cut emissions and adapt to climate impacts. Each Party to the Paris Agreement (2015) is required to establish an NDC and update it every five years.
