Conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and climate change increasingly gained recognition as two priority policy issues in many national strategies and other policy documents.
- The critical value of biodiversity and functioning of ecosystems for human well-being and development has also been highlighted and anchored by the Vietnamese government in a number of sectoral strategies.
- Viet Nam’s protected area system expanded significantly to over 120 natural parks and conservation territories in total accounting for about 2.3 million hectares, or 7 percent of Vietnam’s total land area.
- Many of the objectives laid out in a number of strategies well refl ect the Aichi targets, and contribute to the implementation of the CBD Strategic Plan for Biodiversity within Viet Nam.
