Measures to mitigate impacts of natural
disasters and climate change on children were discussed at a conference jointly
held by the Central Steering Committee for Disaster Prevention and Control and
the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in Viet Nam on May 18th. Participants
also shared knowledge and experience in children-oriented disaster risk
mitigation, while seeking ways to intensify cooperation in this field. Based on
the outcomes of a national conference on children-oriented disaster risk
mitigation held in the central province of Ninh Thuan in December 2016, this
conference continued promoting cooperation within the framework of the Law on
Disaster Prevention and Control, Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Mitigation
and sustainable development goals. Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development
Nguyen Xuan Cuong, head of the central steering committee, said that Viet Nam
annually suffers a variety of natural disasters which cause huge asset and
human losses. In 2016, disasters left 264 people dead or missing, and 431
others injured, causing an economic loss of 39.7 trillion VND (1.74 billion
USD). UNICEF Chief Representative Youssouf Abdel-Jelil said that climate change
impacts are unavoidable, but the Sendai framework gives priority to investing
in reducing the impacts on children at their early ages as this is an important
period for their development. Decreasing vulnerability of children is a
long-term strategy to improve the community’s resilience, he said, calling on
the Vietnamese Government and its development partners to maintain investment
in children-oriented disaster risk mitigation. Since August 2016, the UNICEF
and the Vietnamese Government have provided emergency aid for children and
women hit by drought and saline intrusion in 10 provinces of the Central
Highlands, the coastal south central region and the Mekong Delta sourcing from
the Japanese government and the CERF. Nearly 140,000 Vietnamese people have
benefited from the effort.
