United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP26) in the United
Kingdom. In particular, in November 2021, Vietnam attended COP26 in Glaslow,
Scotland. COP26 is considered the last chance and hope to curb global warming
as the Paris Agreement was adopted by the world in 2015 with the expectation of
reducing global warming temperature below 1.5-20C compared with pre-industrial
times. The government, business community and society of Vietnam will connect
with the UK as the host country of COP26 to promote policy, financial,
technical and social solutions to support countries, in which Vietnam has
implemented 17 sustainable development goals and National Voluntary Commitments
to be able to achieve the emission reduction targets in the Paris Agreement.
Economic and environmental reports globally recognize the difficulties and
challenges that countries (including Vietnam and the UK) are facing in
implementing their commitments to reduce emissions and the negative impacts of
COVID-19 pandemic on economies.
In the context of
