Le Viêt Nam, aujourd'hui

Vietnam has pledged to contribute US$1 million to the Green Climate Fund in the 2016-2020 period as part of the country’s effort to join hands with the international community in response to climate change.

To cope with the consequences of climate change including high temperatures, rising sea levels, increases in natural disasters, landscape changes and economic damages, Vietnam has joined hands with the international community to protect and develop forests through an initiative to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation while fostering conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks (REDD+).

HANOI - Flooding in Vietnam has killed at least 28 people since Friday, with nine others missing and nearly 80,000 displaced, state media and government reports said, after a tropical depression dumped heavy rains across central regions of the country.

HA NOI — Viet Nam lacks a comprehensive strategy to cope with coastal erosion, which is recognised as one of the major consequences of rising sea levels, experts have warned.

Thunderstorms brought slight relief to parts of northern Vietnam in recent days but not to the Hoa Binh hydropower plant, where water levels hover just above the "dead point" when electricity output is severely restricted.

Vietnam is one of the four countries hardest hit by extreme weather events from 1990 to 2008, according to the Global Climate Risk Index 2010 report, Vietnam news agency reported Wednesday.

HANOI — The United States and Vietnam will jointly study the impact of climate change on the Mekong Delta and other low-lying river regions worldwide, officials said Monday.
