Climate change poses major challenges for urban development in Vietnam Rapid, unplanned urbanization can increase cities’ vulnerability to climate change and cause extreme disasters - this is already occurring The Problem

There are many technical challenges brought by climate change – how can we plan cities, infrastructure, and services that are flexible in the face of climate uncertainty? Climate change affects all city residents and sectors, so it requires new institutional capacities for coordination and management; “top-down” planning has to be accompanied by “bottom-up” planning approaches Climate change requires us to think about the future: how do we want our cities to be in 20 years? 50 years? What are our values for having liveable, green, and equitable cities? The Problem

Many actors in Vietnam are already thinking about these questions. These include:  Local government departments in many cities;  National Ministries, including MoNRE, MoC and MARD  International Organizations and Agencies  National Associations  Non-government organizations and Mass Organizations How do we encourage learning, sharing, and deliberation between these diverse stakeholders? How can we learn from each other?

A multitude of local interventions and approaches need to be coordinated and synthesized for replication ! Knowledge Management is needed

Potential Activities and Outputs Well established coordination/ working mechanism between stakeholders (donors, national and local authorities, NGO‘s, science/academia, private sector...), e.g. through: Improved documentation on initiatives, events and products (newsletter, database) Comprehensive database/mapping of ODA projects/interventions Compilation/ dissemination of studies, reports, toolkits/guidelines, good practices/case study sheets etc. (DMS on VUF website) Facilitation of peer-to-peer learning (between cities/provinces) Working groups and/or Seminars on specific key issues (CC-integrated urban planning, Flooding and land use, etc. ) National policy recommendations / guidance for local authorities

Regional Water Basin Management Urban Climate Change Mitigation Potential Thematic Groups

Online forums and discussions Newsletter City visits and exchanges Database of urban climate change related projects Design competitions Interactive workshops Trainings Formal and informal meetings Sharing resources Facilitation Formats

Today, we hope to hear about your ideas and priorities for how this Community of Practice can be effective ! What are you interested in learning from the Community of Practice? What can you or your organization contribute to the Community of Practice? How can the Community of Practice coordinate with events, activities, or platforms that already exist? Kick-off Event
