Vietnam commits to controlling land degradation
Việt Nam aims to cap degraded land at no more than 40 per cent as it steps up efforts to protect soils, secure food supplies and adapt to climate change under a new national programme running to 2030 with a long-term vision to 2050. Reducing the proportion of degraded land to 40 per cent is a core target in the National Action Programme to Combat Desertification through to 2030, with a vision to 2050.
The programme launched by the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment under Decision No. 5930/QĐ-BNNMT not only demonstrates Việt Nam’s strong commitment to sustainable land resource management, but also establishes safety thresholds for long-term development, closely linking resource protection with food security, population stability and climate change adaptation.
