These gaps prevent policies from adequately addressing gendered vulnerabilities that could shape sustainable solutions and yield multiple socio-economic benefits that would help fulfil the ambition of the 2030 Agenda. The study focuses on assessing the links between climate change impacts and gender equality in key sectors. Findings from this study will be used to inform policy makers and practitioners on the linkage between gender equality and climate change in these sectors, and more broadly at the national level. Specifically, the objectives of this study are: (i) to provide an overview of the climate change framework, and gender integration into climate policies, in Viet Nam, in four selected sectors: agriculture and water management (adaptation), and energy and waste management (mitigation); (ii) to identify gaps and opportunities to include gender equality aspects into sectoral action-planning, in implementing NDC and NAP in Viet Nam.
