He also proposed the UNDP coordinate with other UN organisations to implement the Vietnam-UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework for 2022-2026, covering socio-economic recovery, climate change response, the implementation of Vietnam’s commitments at the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26), and the mobilisation of resources in support of vulnerable groups during socio-economic recovery and transformation.
Wignaraja said she was impressed by Vietnam’s strong commitments to climate change response, including energy transition. She voiced UNDP’s willingness to support Vietnam in green, sustainable and inclusive socio-economic recovery and development.
