INSTRUCTIONS FOR FINANCIAL RESOURCES SUPPORTING CLIMATE CHANGE RESEARCH

(Nguoi Lao Dong Online) - In order to introduce foreign financial resources to finance climate change research projects, Center for Vietnamese and SouthEast Asian Studies (HCMC University of Social Sciences and Humanities) has just held a report on "Financial support and sustainable development goals to adapt to climate change".

At the report, Professor Jean-Paul Vanderlinden, Director of CEARC Research Institute (Paris-Saclay University), said there are quite a number of international organizations willing to provide financial support for projects about sustainable climate change adaptation research. These are Asian Development Bank (ADB), UNDP (United Nations Development Program), JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency) .... In addition, the governments of each country also focus on funding climate change research topics.

However, in order to be financially supported by the government or international organizations, Prof. Jean-Paul Vanderlinden recommends that research teams need a scientific basis to identify phenomena, causes and solutions, thereby proving the sustainable goal of the research project is to solve social problems arising from climate change; at the same time, it is expected that social and scientific objectives will be achieved in the future. In particular, the research groups should not collect information from scientists or research institutes but instead focus on accessing information from the most practical, especially those directly affected by climate change.

Demonstrating his point, Professor Jean-Paul Vanderlinden led the story of fishermen in a fishing village in India going out to sea. When people find out why, local authorities say that some fishermen deliberately catch offshore so they may have an accident, or be arrested for violating other national waters. “However, a research group identified the cause of missing fishermen because of climate change that makes fish moving further and further away from the coast, sometimes out of Indian waters, pulling fishermen along. that, the team set out a solution with the Indian government to help fishermen equip modern fishing facilities for offshore fishing, adapting to climate change" - Professor Jean-Paul Vanderlinden speaks.
