UN Special Adviser to the Secretary-General and Assistant Secretary-General of the Climate Action Team Selwin Hart has hailed Viet Nam’s seriousness and efforts in fulfilling its commitments at the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26).

At a meeting on August 25 with Ambassador Dang Hoang Giang, Permanent Representative of Viet Nam to the UN, Hart noted his hope that Viet Nam will reap positive results in the negotiations for the establishment of a partnership in energy transition, and that the Southeast Asian nation will continue to make strong commitments at COP27 slated for November.

The UN will further support Viet Nam in energy transition, resource mobilisation and technology transfer to achieve the commitments, he pledged.

For his part, Giang said Viet Nam will mobilise all necessary domestic and foreign financial resources to realise its COP26 commitments.

Apart from the transition to renewable energy, Viet Nam hopes for a comprehensive approach in climate change response, under which employment, social welfare and living standards of disadvantaged groups are ensured, he continued.

Giang called on the UN to help Viet Nam promote the transfer of technology and knowledge from the countries that are strong in the fields, along with financial support from the UN.
