| Summary: | Climate-related hazards have adverse
effects on national growth and poverty reduction, affecting
the poor and several sectors of the economy simultaneously.
At its current rate of growth, Vietnam will become a major
global greenhouse gas (GHG) emitter. The Government of
Vietnam initiated the Climate Public Expenditure and
Investment Review (CPEIR) to advance an understanding of the
current policy and institutional architecture as well as to
assess current spending on its climate change response to
help guide future climate change-related expenditures and
policy implementation. The report has three components: (i)
a policy, institutional and methodological review; (ii) an
analysis of climate change response (CC-response) spending
in five line ministries and three provinces; and (iii)
recommendations and an action plan. The main goal of the
CPEIR is to provide an overview of the current CC-response
activities and formulate recommendations for how to improve
priority setting, capacity building, coordination,
expenditure management, and mainstreaming of CC-response
strategies into socio-economic development plans. |
