Vietnam to raise rate of trained workers to 40 percent by 2030 Workers at a garment factory Overall, the programme aims to provide a strong premise for comprehensively developing the labour market; effectively mobilising, distributing, and utilising resources to boost socio-economic growth; shift to a modernised labour structure; and promote links between the domestic labour market and those of the region and the world. Its objectives are to increase the number of workers with labour market-relevant skills and raise the number of trained workers to 30 percent by 2025 and 30-45 percent by 2030. Under the programme, Vietnam expects to be among the top 60 countries in the Knowledge Workers sub-pillar of the Global Innovation Index (GII) by 2025 and among the top 55 by 2030. The country also sets having 80 percent of its workforce possess IT skills by 2025 and 90 percent by 2030, while reducing the rate of young adults unemployed or untrained to below 8 percent. To this end, the country plans to improve the relevant legal framework to bolster the development of the labour market; support the development of labour supply and demand, a labour market database, social welfare and insurance, and a specialised labour market; and promote links between the domestic and foreign labour markets. It will also develop a set of indicators measuring the development of the labour market compared with the regional and global markets, and evaluate the labour gap between regions./.

The adoption of the Paris Climate Agreement on December 12, 2015, five years ago, was a landmark event after more than 20 years of challenging climate negotiations. It establishes a single, flexible and dynamic framework of collective and universal obligations to combat climate change, which takes into account countries’ disparate levels of development. The Paris Agreement sets in stone an ambitious collective goal in order to preserve the planet's ecosystems and people's living conditions: to hold average temperature increase “well below 2°C” and pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C. It also aims to strengthen countries’ ability to deal with the impacts of climate change and support them in their efforts. However, 2020 is expected to be one of the warmest years in history. Even though greenhouse gas emissions dropped following the COVID-19 pandemic, it does not reflect a structural change. Based on current trends in greenhouse gas emissions and climate action, a 1.5°C temperature rise is expected before 2050, and 4°C could be reached before 2100. The Paris Agreement wisely provides for a periodical update of national commitments – every five years, which makes this year anniversary particularly important. Given the current trends, it is essential that we collectively use this opportunity to act, by raising our climate ambition before the 26th UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) with new objectives (nationally determined contributions) based on low-emission development strategies. We must collectively raise our level of ambition and turn our commitments into public policies that contribute to in-depth change. So far, only a few countries in the world have done so – Vietnam is one of them. It has increased its ambition in greenhouse gas emissions reduction (from 8 percent to 9 percent by 2030 without international aid, and from 25 percent to 27 percent with aid). France and the EU have been proactive to support Vietnam moving …
