                             Basic knowledge of climate change, its impacts and measures to tackle and respond to the issue have been introduced to officials in the central province of Quang Ngai and the northern province of Lai Chau as part of a project supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
                             
 

 
Erosion caused by climate change
 
“Capacity  building for implementation of national climate change strategy” is set  to run from 2014-2018 with the aim of strengthening awareness,  institutional capacity and scientific techniques to implement an  effective national climate change strategy for relevant agencies and  localities.
 
Thanks to  knowledge gained during courses endorsed by the UNDP, trainees have been  able to assess the lasting impacts of climate change and formulate  solutions to respond to them
According to the  Department of Hydrometeorology and Climate Change under the Ministry of  Natural Resources and Environment, ministries, branches and provinces  need to enhance weather monitoring, provide early warnings, ensure food  and water security and reinforce river dykes and sea defences.
The department  also stressed the importance of completing mechanisms and policies on  climate change and calling for local residents to join hands to fight  the issue.
Head of the  department Nguyen Van Tue said that they will help localities evaluate  the efficiency of activities to battle climate change while asking the  UNDP for further support in other provinces and cities.
