Thematic Session (2) Trends of Policies and Measures for Improving Water Environment in Viet Nam and Japan's Technical Cooperation (Vietnamese-Japanese Simultaneous interpretation) Summary At the World Summit in COP26, Vietnam's prime minister Chinh stated that Vietnam would aim for carbon neutrality by 2050. In addition, in order to achieve carbon neutrality, Vietnam would take strong measures to reduce emissions and urge developed countries to provide sufficient financial and technical support. In response to this, at the Vietnam-Japan Policy Dialogue held on November 24, the "Joint Cooperation Plan (JCP) for 2050 Carbon Neutral" was signed between the two countries in order to realize a carbon-free society in Vietnam. It is important to maintain and evolve the outcomes of COP26 and the ambitions and momentum toward 2050 carbon neutrality shown there, and to materialize the efforts for realization. This session aims to discuss on legislation, policies, and businesses based on the scenario for achieving 2050 carbon neutrality. The central/local government, business and experts will discuss what kind of society should be created, what we should do for transitioning, and what kind of cooperation activities should be promoted based on JCP, in order to aim for carbon neutrality in about 30 years. |

Plenary session Public-private efforts toward the transition to a circular economy including measures against marine plastic litter （Japanese - Vietnamese simultaneous interpretation) Summary Transition to "a circular economy" that make sustainable use of resources is common global challenge. Accelerating the circulation of plastic resources is urgently needed, including the marine plastic litter issue, which has been drawing worldwide attention in recent years. To address these issues, comprehensive approach across the entire life-cycle of plastic products from product design to waste disposal and recycling are required. Also wider stakeholder involvement is important, and particularly private sector play significant roles in promoting circulation of plastics, so enhancing public-private partnerships are the key to create a circular economy. The seminar aims to share the latest efforts of both countries toward the transition to a circular economy including measures against marine plastic litter, and deepen discussions to resolve issues. |

Thematic session (4) Technical support for local capacity development on climate change adaptation actions through online training module of ISO 14090 series In recent years, the importance of climate change adaptation efforts has been increasing due to the increasing human and economic loss and damage caused by frequent weather disasters. In particular, local governments, which are primarily responsible for securing the lives of their residents, are urgently required to take action on climate change adaptation. However, while local governments are required to take action, measures in the field of climate change, which requires specialized knowledge, have lagged behind. In order to support the promotion of climate change adaptation measures in local governments, the Ministry of the Environment of Japan is developing online educational materials based on the ISO14090 series of international standards in the field of climate change adaptation. In this session, we will introduce the efforts of the adaptation ISO online materials and demonstrate the actual online materials. |

Thematic session (6) Information exchange seminar on development of standard for refrigerant management in Viet Nam- (TBC) Summary The MONRE has been in efforts to bringing the concept of life cycle management of fluorocarbons into practice, through institutionalizing policy measures under the Revised LEP and by developing a decree on management of greenhouse gas emission and the protection of the ozone layer. Under the Initiative on Fluorocarbons Life Cycle Management (IFL), the MOEJ has closely worked with the MONRE, Viet Nam by sharing useful knowledge and experiences, including support to the development of relevant parts of the draft decree. To materialize the legal norm, the MONRE is now planning to move forward to development of standard/specifications (TCVN) for collection, recycling and destruction of refrigerants, which provide fundamental institutional infrastructure of the upgraded fluorocarbons management. The session is expected to provide an initial opportunity to exchange relevant experiences between policy makers as well as practitioners in Viet Nam and Japan, with a view to further elaboration. |
