Evaluation of the National Adaptation Plan Process of Viet Nam 2021-2025

Viet Nam has developed and started implementing its national adaptation plan (NAP) for the period of 2021–2030, with a vision to 2050. The overall objective of the NAP is three-fold: to reduce vulnerability and risks caused by the impacts of climate change; to strengthen the resilience and adaptive capacity of communities, the economy, and ecological components; and to promote the mainstreaming of climate change adaptation (CCA) into the strategy and planning system.

The year 2025 will mark the halfway point of its implementation period. Thus, an evaluation of Viet Nam’s NAP was needed to determine the achievements and draw lessons for the next implementation period. The evaluation examines the progress made in implementing the NAP and the results of practical adaptation work to date. It also identifies actions that promote the NAP’s implementation for the remainder of the period to 2030. The general objective of the evaluation is to determine whether the NAP process is well-suited to achieving its three overarching objectives.
