The role of trade in climate change mitigation and adaptation: An assesment of Vietnam’s situation in renewable energy sector

This paper aims at analyzing the role of trade to combat climate change and its impacts to foster climate change adaptation and mitigation. Taking an example of Vietnam as a country being heavily affected by climate change, the paper points out that while Vietnam has put lots of efforts to promulgate laws and regulations, several obstacles remain, especially in the renewable energy sector. Recommendations are derived to further foster the role of trade in climate change adaptation and mitigation in Vietnam.
