Former Tien Lang official explains land allocation term
While the land conflict in Hai Phong City’s Tien Lang District is being handled by competent agencies, a former district official has explained the related land allocation term.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) will invest 143.5 billion VND
in an action plan to cope with climate change from 2010 to 2015 and for
the years to come.
The plan’s inauguration ceremony was jointly organised by the MoIT and the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) in Hanoi on September 8.
Addressing the ceremony, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Hoang Quoc Vuong said that the plan will regulate several programmes carried out by the MoIT regarding the safe and efficient use of energy, bio fuels, cleaner production, sustainable consumption and the development of renewable energies.
The MoIT will map out several mechanisms and policies to create favourable conditions for deploying activities to respond to climate change, with priority given to socialisation, diversification and attraction of sources from both in and outside of the country.
The ministry will also encourage the development of organisations which provide consultation and services to support this task, he added.
The action plan will be divided into three phases, with 29 main tasks and projects, of which the first phase will focus on raising public awareness of the impacts of climate change to industrial and commercial activities affecting the MoIT as well as drawing up feasible methods of adapting and mitigating the green house effects.
Meanwhile, the second phase, which will run from 2011-2015, will update and recognise the risks of climate change, that face a number of core industrial and commercial sectors.
By 2013, the ministry plans to have completed and appraised the impacts of climate change and rising sea levels to the ministry itself and the control of the spread of the green house effect while conducting industrial and trade activities along with carrying out several low carbon and eco-friendly pilot projects.
During the last phase, to be carried out after 2015, the ministry will multiply pilot projects with capital mobilised from the State, businesses and donors, with a focus on adapting economically to climate change./.
