At a virtual summit on climate action at the invitation of UN Secretary-General António Guterres and Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on Wednesday, PM Chinh said that climate change has become a harsh reality, seriously and deeply affecting every country and every resident, yet climate actions are still far from the goals of the Paris Agreement, especially in terms of climate finance and commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
To effectively deal with these challenges, he highlighted the need for a new global-scale, comprehensive and inclusive mindset and approach; and for higher determination, stronger efforts, and more drastic actions, with breakthrough solutions and more effective implementation.
PM Chinh underscored that despite its status as a developing country with a transitioning economy and limited resources, Vietnam has made significant headway in green development. The country now stands out as a regional leader in renewable energy in ASEAN, an example in promoting sustainable agriculture, and an active, responsible member of multilateral mechanisms and global initiatives on green growth and energy transition, he said.
