Mitigating the impact of climate change in Viet Nam: a collaboration between IFAD and the GM

8 May, 2008

The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the GM have jointly taken steps to mainstream adaptation and mitigation responses to climate change into IFAD’s Country Strategic Opportunities Programme (COSOP) for Viet Nam. The work led to a report titled “Mitigating the Impact of Climate Change and Land Degradation through IFAD’s COSOP for Viet Nam”, which articulates the impact of climate change and land degradation on local communities and the national economy, as well as, ways and means of tackling the problem. The result of this work has assisted with the orientation of IFAD’s 2008 – 2012 COSOP for Viet Nam.
