Climate change is real

1
Climate change is real

• Biodiversity loss is real

2
Interlinkages

• There is an interrelationship between
  Biodiversity and Climate change. Climate change
  is an important cause resulting in Biodiversity
  loss and in return, Biodiversity loss and
  degradation of natural habitats also result in
  Climate change.

Impacts

• Can be seen in forms of
• Sea level rise
• Increased temperature
• Extreme weather events like droughts, heat waves,
  typhoons, cyclones, heavy rains
• Many species go to extinct.
• Impacts affecting directly livelihoods of human
  being and threatening lives and sustainable
  development since a basis for sustainable
  development are biodiversity and climate.

Challenges

• Vietnam is one of countries that are worst hit
  by global climate change and biodiversity loss
  in the coming time. Regardless which scenario
  will happen, impacts from Climate Change still
  remain huge.
• It is a global issue so global solutions are
  required.
• Coordination among stakeholders at all level on a
  country and among countries and regions is
  required.

5
Solutions

• Adaptation measures can not be delayed and
• More importantly, biodiversity loss should be
  curbed and climate change should be mitigated.
• Integrated measures are required
• - Awareness raising for involved stakeholders
  through campaigns, information dissemination, to
  change attitude and actions.
• Action develop and implement concrete measures
  e.g. test, evaluate, and upscale (effective)
  models, hand-over of technologies, support for
  policies or decision making international
  cooperation, etc.

For effective implementation of those measures,
it should

• Get communities involved
• Proposed measures must be based on communities
  and on bottom-up approaches.
• Proposed measures must be based on thorough
  analysis of causes.
• Coordination among agencies and sectors at all
  levels and all social strata efforts of the
  Government and environmental agencies are not
  enough. Efforts of development agencies are
  needed...
• Integrate environmental consideration into
  Socio-Economic development of every country.
  Strategies and solutions should be global.
• Develop a comprehensive strategy with priorities.
• Combine external and internal resources for
  effective implementation.
