Vietnam’s Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, Dang Quoc Khanh, held a working session with JapaneseMinister of Environment, Nishimura Akihiro, on August 25 regarding collaboration in environment protection and climate change response.
Khanh told his Japanese counterpart that Vietnam is always at the forefront of climate change response and is committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
The government has been actively partnering with other developed nations to implement the Political Declaration on establishing the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP), Khanh said.
He called for cooperation in monitoring the quantity of waste discharged into the sea, and adopting measures to sort, collect, and process plastic waste while helping fishermen switch to eco-friendly tools.
