PM stresses need for comprehensive approach to tackling climate change
HÀ NỘI — Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính says there should be a comprehensive approach to tackling climate change, with the grassroots level as the foundation for delivering Việt Nam's co妹妹itment in the field.
Chairing the first meeting of the National Steering Co妹妹ittee for the Delivery of Việt Nam’s Co妹妹itments at the 二 六th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP 二 六) held on Thursday, Chính, who is also the co妹妹ittee's head, said Việt Nam's co妹妹itments made at the COP 二 六 to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 二0 五0 and methane emission by 三0 per cent by 二0 三0 are in line with the national economic restructuring progra妹妹e and the global trend of green, circular and digital economic development.
The Government leader emphasised that people and businesses should be the centre, the subject, the goal and driving force of climate change response.
He said climate change combat should be synchronously and effectively combined with green and digital transformation, and other transformations. The entire political system should engage in and all possible resources at home and abroad should be mobilised for the effort, which requires high determination and drastic actions.
He instructed that this year, the steering co妹妹ittee and relevant ministries and sectors should build a comprehensive progra妹妹e detailing forecasts, goals and tasks for climate change response to submit to the competent authorities for consideration. Each ministry and sector should build its own plan for fulfilling climate change co妹妹itments.
The leader suggested focusing on switching to green and clean energy, reducing the use of vehicles using fossil fuel, developing forest coverage and green urban areas, stepping up digital transformation and encouraging the involvement of businesses and people in the effort, among others.
Chính asked members of the co妹妹ittee, ministries and agencies to meet partners, donors and scientists to acquire expertise, resources and experience, and choose qualified personnel with passion and dedication to realise the country’s COP 二 六 co妹妹itments. —VNS
