Through the Business
Partnerships Platform (BPP), the
Australian Government is calling for inclusive business partnership proposals
to help support green and resilient COVID-19 economic recovery in Vietnam.
The BPP’s Call for Green Recovery Partnerships in Vietnam invites
businesses and their partners to submit proposals that could accelerate
progress towards climate and energy solutions in Vietnam.
Vietnam is among the most vulnerable nations to
climate change impacts. Extreme weather events in recent years have become more
severe with higher frequency and magnitude. The Vietnamese Government is
focused on supporting enduring and effective climate change responses.
Australia is working with Vietnam, and other countries in our region, to
address the challenges presented by climate change.
