Canadian Foreign Minister Stephane Dion has
suggested Canada, Viet Nam and other signatories to the Paris Agreement on
Climate Change join hands to achieve the target of limiting the planet’s
warming to below 2 degrees Celsius reached at the 21st UN Climate Change
Conference. The Canadian Minister had a
talk with students from the Diplomatic Academy of Viet Nam, the Ha Noi
University of Science and Technology, the Ha Noi University of Social Sciences
and Humanities, and the Ha Noi University on September 5, within the framework
of his official visit to Viet Nam. According
to him, issues on the environment and climate change challenge not only Viet
Nam but also the whole world, and no countries can address these challenges
unilaterally. Countries should pay
attention to issues related to the environment and bio-diversity like fish
reserves, clean water resources and public health during the development
process, he said. Minister Stephane Dion
told participating students that his country will provide 15 million CAD
(approximately 11.6 million USD) to help small- and medium-sized enterprises
(SMEs) in Viet Nam with initiatives and technologies to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions. He also answered their
questions on necessary solutions to have a global agreement on climate change
response, especially for such developing nations like Viet Nam, as well as
barriers related to cooperation in climate change response.
