Vietnam

The increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide in the atmosphere has caused anthropogenic global climate change, which has drawn wide attention from the international community. Vietnam is identified in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report (2014) as one of the most vulnerable countries likely to be most affected by climate change due to its extensive coastline, vast deltas and floodplains, location on the path of typhoons as well as its large population in poverty. Vietnam is also one of the top 10 countries with the most serious air pollution in the world. The level of unsafe particles is similar to that of large cities and industrial areas in China. The International Monetary Fund reports that Vietnam's greenhouse gas emissions will triple by 2030, basically because of the dependence on fossil fuels for power generation.

Legal Framework
In order to limit greenhouse gas emissions, Vietnam has adopted a number of policies and environmental laws targeting this specific problem.
