National policy on Effective use of resources for sustainable development

Response to climate change is proactively deployed along with hydro-meteorological forecasting being strengthened, modernized, and improved in quality to approach advanced countries in the region, thereby contributing to Minimize damage from natural disasters thanks to early, accurate forecasting and timely warnings of extreme weather phenomena.

First of all, the degradation and decline of land resources is taking place in many places, the need to use water resources and marine resources is increasing to meet development requirements. The situation of wasteful land management and use and loss of state assets in the land sector has not been strictly controlled and has not been thoroughly overcome.

Environmental pollution, especially in large cities, is related to exhaust fumes from cars and motorbikes. Environmental pollution in large cities is increasingly serious due to traffic congestion and the increase of personal vehicles. Pollution of craft villages and river beds due to the process of industrialization and modernization is taking place strongly but technological innovation has not kept up. Even in rural areas, the more production develops, the higher the risk of pollution.

Waste collection and treatment still has many inadequacies, leading to many and prolonged lawsuits. The Ministry must coordinate with other ministries and branches to handle the problem.

The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment also needs to proactively monitor and respond effectively to climate change; green economic development, less waste, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, low carbon; Encourage the development of circular economic models. In particular, there are solutions to minimize the risks caused by climate change, especially drought in the Central Highlands and South Central region, saltwater intrusion, and landslides in the Mekong Delta, even in the northern regions. . Respond to natural disasters, minimize damage to people and property caused by natural disasters.

The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment also needs to quickly summarize 10 years of implementing Resolution No. 02-NQ/TW dated April 25, 2011 of the Politburo on strategic mineral orientation and the Mineral Law. Develop and submit for synchronous promulgation documents detailing the Law on Environmental Protection (amended) on schedule. Review and improve legal regulations on water resources and integrated management of seas and islands.

“Urgently review and complete national plans and natural resources and environment sector plans: National land use planning and National marine spatial planning. These are two major plans that need to be focused on implementation. National plans must ensure synthesis, synchronization, and feasibility in implementation," the Deputy Prime Minister stated.

Along with that is the implementation of national sector planning, coastal resource and environmental planning, environmental protection planning, biodiversity planning, national water resources planning and river basins. Based on the planning, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment proactively coordinates with ministries and localities to develop a plan to implement the planning period 2021-2030, a medium-term public investment plan, which clearly defines the resource structure. capital, budget capital, FDI, DDI and other capital sources suitable for each specific project to mobilize.

The Deputy Prime Minister requested: "Increase effectiveness and efficiency in law enforcement, management and effective use of natural resources, environmental protection and response to climate change. Focus on strengthening management of land originating from state-owned agricultural and forestry farms. Focus on reviewing and handling slow project implementation in the locality. Continue to promote the issuance of Certificates for the remaining areas that need to be granted; improve the land access index.”

Regarding water resources, Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung also requested to focus on implementing a total inventory of national water resources. Develop a national strategy on water security, and plan national water resources and river basins. Promote the establishment and demarcation of water source protection corridors, and announcement of sanitary protection zones in areas where domestic water is collected.

The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment needs to strengthen inspection and examination in mineral activities, strictly and thoroughly handle illegal mineral exploitation; Implement environmental protection measures in mineral exploitation.

Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung emphasized "Focus on implementing the Strategy for sustainable development of the marine economy, closely combining with ensuring national defense and security, protecting sovereignty over seas, islands, resources and marine environment." ; natural disaster prevention and control, search and rescue, and improving the lives of people in sea and island areas.
