Economic Reform and Environmental Policies in Response to Climate Change in Vietnam

Abstract

Vietnam economic reform brought about many encouraging achievements. From a poor country whose food import reached 450.000 tons due to inefficient management in planning the economy, it rose to a middle-income country after 35 years of reform since the opening policy in 1986 as it became the 2nd rice exporter in the world. However, the promotion of economic reform towards sustainable development, adaptation to climate change is essential to Vietnam as of now: what should be done to apply governmental policies into practice more efficiently, help people aware of the importance of climate change in order to reduce its impact on livelihood. Long term cooperation between government, enterprises, and people to create a practical development model with close attention to growth quality is a crucial key to the successful development of Vietnam.
