Viet Nam: Environment and Climate Change Assessment

Asian Development Bank (adb)

No RPS135693, ADB Reports from Asian Development Bank (ADB)

Abstract: The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is preparing sector assessments, thematic papers, strategies, and road maps to help align future ADB support with the needs and strategies of developing member countries and other development partners. A thematic paper is a working document that addresses a crosscutting theme to help inform the development of country partnership strategies (CPSs). This environment and climate change thematic paper highlights development issues, needs, and strategic assistance priorities of Viet Nam and ADB, focusing on environmentally sustainable growth during the 2012–2015 CPS period. It analyzes priority development constraints, the government’s strategy and plans, other development partner support, lessons learned from past ADB support, and possible future ADB assistance. The product serves as a basis for further dialogue on how ADB and the government can work together to tackle the challenges of climate change and environmental sustainability in the coming years.
