17 Impacts on health and livelihoods of the people in the region especially aquaculture workers and families

18 Climate change policy in Thua Thien Hue

19 Climate change Policy and development plans of province 1. Plan for improving awareness and using climate change information; n; 2. Plan for requirement on climate change and sea level rise consideration in planning decision process; 3. Infrastructure adaptive to climate change 4. Reservoir, River and lagoon management regulation considering climate change 5. Enhance Disaster early warning forecast system 6. Awareness raising and community participation 7. Environmental strategic assessment considering climate change 8. Setting up and implementing climate change adaptation plan of actions Meeting with Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Thien Chairperson of the Provincial People s Committee

20 Climate change consideration into ICZM 1. Plan on CC awareness raise as a part of the ICZM capacity building 2. Enhance the coastal zone management regulation framework towards adaptive to climate change. 3. Re-assess the carrying capacity of coastal zone and lagoons and potential adaptive capacity to respond to climate change. 4. Plan for setting up requirement on climate change adaptation into EIA for projects in the coastal zone

21 1. Plan for adjustment Reasonable projection of area based on vulnerable maps. 2. Consideration CC into EIA for investment projects 3. Plan for considering sea level rise 50 cm in 2050 and 1m in 2100 for sea dyke, embankment, sea port constructions 4. Afforest and protect coastal forest 5. Construct storm shelter for ships, high strong building shelter for civilization. Climate change and Chan May - Lang Co economic zone. 6. Develop and operate the climate change observation, monitoring system in the area. source: Consultation group of CCP

22 Districts and communes: 1. Awareness raising on the impact of climate change. 2. Implement climate change mitigation policy and sustainable use of natural resources policy. 3. Development and implementation commune plan on disaster protection Districts disaster protection plan should be revised in CC Household: 1. Awareness raising on reasonable and effective use of natural resources and energy. 2. Participation in coastal forestation, protect irrigation and flood protection constructions. 3. Development of suitable handcraft adapting to climate change. Flooded point in historical flood in 1999

23 Capacity building for province and lessons

24 Stakeholder consultation and Capacity building for Province: Meetings, Interviews, workshops Interview on NCAP and CC for local TV broadcast PPC leader awareness and support 1. Decision-makers and public awareness improving 2. Nominating focal point for climate change Stakeholder Workshop activities in province (DONRE) 4. Technical expert team in province 5. Closer co-operation among different agencies in province 6. Plan Raising management capacity for ICZM 7. Plan for development PAPA on climate change under the NTP

25 The Lessons 1. Climate change information are highly scientific and uncertain. The local policy makers need a good interpretation for decision process 2. Climate change is long term process so that more effectiveness when focuses to long-term planning, policy/program. 3. Considering Climate change information by PPC and local agencies in revising development plans, ICZM strategy and strategic environmental assessment of Special Economic Zone is the NCAP project contribution to local planning process adapting to climate change 4. CC is cross sector issue, Strong policy coherence and co- ordination between provincial Dep. is needed.

26 The Lessons 5. The international technical assistance is very important: - To provide in time guideline and new methodology - Broad wide information from international sources overviewed by technical Advisor which have good influence on the local process. 6. Further international support is needed. The province is seeking donor for most prioritized: - Public awareness rising and implementing revised ICZM strategy in climate change condition. - Developing and implementing the provincial climate change adaptation program of action. 7. People know better how to adapt to CC but they need guidance and good organization. Further capacity building is needed.
