Viet Nam, which has a coastline stretching more than 3,260km and many low-lying cities, is among the countries most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and sea level rise. To combat the increasing effects of climate change, it has updated its National Adaptation Plan (NAP) for 2021-2030 with a vision to 2050, grounding it in current climate change policies.

This booklet introduces the essential components of the development and implementation of Viet Nam’s NAP, along with prioritised vulnerable sectors, key outcomes, and the technical and financial gaps to be addressed in the decades ahead.
