Viewing cable 08HANOI108, NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENT VICE-MINISTER INTERESTED

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #08HANOI108.

1. (SBU) Summary: Ambassador Michalak met with Vietnamese Senior 
Vice-Minister of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE) Nguyen 
Cong Thanh to highlight U.S. efforts to combat climate change. 
Thanh, who oversees MONRE's climate change portfolio, stated that 
MONRE has begun to craft a National Action Plan for adapting to 
climate change.  Ambassador Michalak highlighted that the United 
States had joined the Bali consensus and stressed recent U.S. 
actions to reduce our carbon footprint.  Thanh expressed particular 
interest in the proposed Clean Technology Fund.  End Summary. 
 
Ambassador Michalak Highlights U.S. Contributions 
--------------------------------------------- ---- 
 
2. (SBU) On January 30, relying on recent State Department guidance 
(refs A and B), Ambassador Michalak told Senior Vice-Minister of 
Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE) Nguyen Cong Thanh that the 
United States was pleased to join the global consensus in support of 
the Bali Roadmap, which included commitments by all participants to 
consider measurable, reportable and verifiable actions to mitigate 
climate change.  Indeed, the United States had already enacted a new 
energy law which would reduce carbon dioxide emissions through 
energy conservation, mandatory increased fuel efficiency standards, 
and greater use of biofuels.   Ambassador Michalak described the 
U.S. proposal for an international fund to finance clean technology 
investments, which would have particular relevance for Vietnam. 
 
Some Praise for U.S. Efforts 
---------------------------- 
 
3. (SBU) MONRE Senior Vice-Minister Nguyen Cong Thanh, who led the 
Vietnamese delegation to Bali and spearheads GVN climate change 
efforts, praised "creative" U.S. measures which paved the way for 
future global discussions.  He agreed that all nations must play a 
role in responding to climate change.  At the same time, as one of 
the nations likely to face the most severe consequences from climate 
change, Vietnam had hoped to see more international progress by now. 
 
 
Vietnamese Response to Climate Change 
------------------------------------- 
 
4. (SBU) Thanh confirmed that the GVN had assigned MONRE to take the 
lead in developing a national action plan on adaptation to climate 
change, a first draft of which is due in the second quarter of 2008. 
 The plan will focus on the Mekong and Red River deltas, which may 
suffer from drought, floods, and increased salinity.  In addition to 
adaptation measures, the plan will include emissions cuts, even 
though Vietnam is not required to do so under the 
currently-operative Kyoto Protocol.  Vietnam is looking for measures 
that would improve economic efficiency, while contributing to the 
collective effort to fight global warming, and is quite interested 
in energy efficient technologies and cleaner production methods and 
equipment.  Thanh focused particularly on the clean technology fund 
proposed by the United States and requested more information about 
how Vietnam might take advantage of this source of financial 
support. 
 
U.S. Assistance 
--------------- 
 
5. (SBU) Noting the concern expressed by MONRE Minister Pham 
regarding the perceived lack of U.S. assistance to Vietnam (Ref C), 
Ambassador Michalak stated that the U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency had agreed to review and comment on the draft Vietnamese 
national action plan. Additionally, U.S. programs promoting cleaner 
coal technologies and compact florescent light bulb standards would 
benefit Vietnamese climate change efforts. As the GVN further 
developed its climate change policies, we would look for other 
possible ways to assist, particularly in the area of 
hydro-meteorology.  Thanh, who has traveled to the United States on 
three occasions for hydro-meteorological training and discussions, 
agreed that this should be a focus.  Thanh also concurred with the 
Ambassador's suggestion that MONRE should join the Vietnamese 
delegation to the upcoming Science and Technology Joint Committee 
 
HANOI 00000108  002.2 OF 002 
 
 
Meeting in Washington, which would provide the opportunity for in 
depth discussions with U.S. counterparts on climate change 
adaptation techniques.
