Background

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are core principles at

UNDP:
we value diversity as an expression of the multiplicity of nations and cultures where we operate, we foster inclusion as a way of ensuring all personnel are empowered to contribute to our mission, and we ensure equity and fairness in all our actions.
Taking a 'leave no one behind' approach to our diversity efforts means increasing representation of underserved populations. People who identify as belonging to marginalized or excluded populations are strongly encouraged to apply.

The nation's diverse topography, ranging from lush forests and expansive wetlands to rugged mountainous regions, fosters a rich array of ecosystems.

Vietnam's biodiversity remains a global treasure, contributing not only to the nation's ecological resilience but also enriching the world's natural heritage.

However, conserving Viet Nam's biodiversity has been acutely challenging due to habitat loss, illegal wildlife trade, urbanization, pollution, and the impacts of climate change.

Conservation efforts, both governmental and non-governmental, are underway to address these threats and promote sustainable practices.

Safeguarding biodiversity is integral to realizing Viet Nam's objectives outlined in its national sustainable development and socio-economic development strategies.

Viet Nam joined the Convention on Biological Diversity in 1994, and its initial National Biodiversity Action Plan was endorsed by the Prime Minister in 1995.

Recently, in early 2022, Viet Nam approved its latest National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) to 2030 with a vision for 2050, aligning with the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework.

Over the years, Viet Nam has strived to drive institutional changes as well as promoted sustainable use of natural resources for local and indigenous communities through improved legislations and community-based projects.

Vietnam's NBSAP 2030, Revised Law on Environmental Protection in 2020, Law on Biodiversity in 2018 (originally issued in 2008), and Law on Forestry in 2017 have been monumental in pushing for a much more progressive agenda in tackling the biodiversity crisis exacerbated by developmental challenges.

These efforts underscore Viet Nam's ongoing commitment to biodiversity conservation in tandem with its broader developmental aspirations.

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), among other national and international partners, has played a crucial role in supporting Vietnam's commitment to preserving its unique ecosystems, ensuring the continued survival of its diverse flora and fauna, and uplifting adjacent local lives that are deeply connected with the cultivation of natural resources for sustenance.

The Climate Change and Environment Unit (CCEU) under UNDP Viet Nam has focused on developing strategies, policies, and initiatives to safeguard the world's at-stake ecosystems and promote sustainability, while addressing the impacts of climate change through mitigation and adaptation.

UNDP is steadfast in its mission to safeguard biodiversity and enhance local livelihoods by channeling our support toward an enabling legal environment for effective biodiversity management, facilitating cross-sectoral exchange and learning regarding important monitoring, gender mainstreaming tools, as well as targeting on-the-ground developments including but not limited to fishery co-management, sustainable livelihood models, capacity building for stakeholders across all levels, and payments for ecosystem services.

Against this background, UNDP Viet Nam has been working closely with relevant ministries, institutions, provinces, and other stakeholders to design and implement projects/initiatives on biodiversity and ecosystem services, including:
The Biodiversity Finance Initiative (BIOFIN) has been one of CCEU's key programs on biodiversity conservation. BIOFIN is managed by UNDP and is implemented in 40 countries. Guided by a global steering committee representing its partners, BIOFIN aims to develop a methodology to quantify the biodiversity finance gap at the national level, to improve cost
