In Vietnam, in 1995, “Vietnam's Biodiversity Action Plan” was issued shortly after Vietnam became a member of the Biodiversity Convention. In 2013, the Prime Minister signed a decision to approve the national strategy for biodiversity to 2020, with a vision to 2030.
2022 is the first year the Law on Environmental Protection 2020 officially takes effect. In order to prevent the decline in biodiversity, from the beginning of 2022, the Government issued a decision to approve the national strategy for biodiversity until 2030, with a vision to 2050.
This strategy encourages businesses and people to participate in conservation, sustainable use activities and ecological system service, to promote the first natural capital prescribed in the Law on Environmental Protection 2020, encouraging the private sector to participate in the conservation of biodiversity.
