The U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) work in environment and climate change in Vietnam focuses on improving environmental security. This includes mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, building resilience to the impacts of climate change, conserving biodiversity, reducing pollution, and strengthening disaster preparedness and response. To advance these efforts, USAID partners with Vietnam to transition to clean energy, strengthen protected area management, expand sustainable forest management, counter wildlife trafficking, and engage with local communities on environmental pollution issues, such as air pollution, waste management, and water conservation.
