This session will showcase Viet Nam's experiences and progress in protecting and sustainably managing its forests, highlighting key achievements, challenges and lessons that can inform broader regional efforts.

Discussions will explore opportunities to scale up forest-based climate solutions, strengthen institutional and community engagement, mobilise finance and advance results-based approaches, including REDD+.

Join government representatives, development partners and forest stakeholders to exchange experiences and explore how Viet Nam's lessons can help accelerate forest protection and climate action across Asia.
