FINAL REVIEW WORKSHOP Building relationships with business associations and media agencies to engage in FLEGT to provide information on FLEGT and the related issues EXPERIENCES AND LESSONS LEARNT
The text assesses the existence and availability of the information listed in VPA about legal frameworks and procedures or forest activities:
-It finds that there are difficulties in the interpretation of complex information and dissemination depends on the authority’s discretion.
-EU will support the implementation of VPA by and activating civil society to demand and use data. In Ghana, the EU will work to establish a formal agreement on which documents should be routinely published.
-Ghana: no binding obligation to publish data routinely. Legal documents are available, but mostly after written request.
-Cameroon: commits the parties to publish information on specific items. There is missing implementing regulation and key information on logging permits. Almost no data on production, plans, exports, social agreements, etc
-Liberia: Legal documents available, but missing information on private use permits, production, and law enforcement.
Flegt communications plan august 28 finalThành Nguyễn
The Communications Strategy is a guiding framework that supports a project implemented by the Center
for Education and Development (CED) and Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI). The
project aims to improve the communications capacity of media and business associations to inform key
actors about the FLEGT/VPA process and prepare for implementation as well as enhance motivation and
secure commitment.
The document proposes a package of measures that address the problem of illegal logging and its trade.
There are several other EU supported initiatives in developing countries . This Action Plan is mainly focused on the question of legality, but with the wider objective of promoting sustainable forest management. Key points of action are the improvement of the available legality verification systems, promoting transparency, protecting local smallholders and the encouragement of local participation against illegal logging and fighting corruption..
The training workshop “Evaluating the Impact of latest commitments of FLEGT-VPA on timber businesses” was held by the Center for Education and Development (CED) and Vietnam Chamber of Commercial and Industry in Da Nang (VCCI Da Nang) on 30 August 2017 in Da Nang as one of the project activities. The objective of the training workshop was to update the latest important contents of FLEGT-VPA and discuss the impacts and solutions for 3 items: imported timber control, organization classification, verifying the origin of the timber and FLEGT licensing.
Cẩm nang phòng ngứa và ứng phó RRTT dành cho KKT và KCNThành Nguyễn
Thiên tai là hiện tượng tự nhiên, tuy nhiên, trong quá trình phát triển kinh tế - xã hội, các hoạt động của con
người cùng với phát triển công nghệ, quá trình đô thị hoá, bùng nổ dân số, suy thoái tài nguyên môi trường đã
làm gia tăng mức độ, hậu quả do thiên tai gây ra. Trong hai thập kỷ qua, trên thế giới, trung bình mỗi năm có
hơn 200 triệu người chịu ảnh hưởng trực tiếp bởi những thảm họa do thiên tai gây ra.
Riêng ở Việt Nam, mỗi năm thiên tai cướp đi mạng sống của 466 người, thiệt hại trên 1,5 tỷ USD tương đương
1,5% GDP. Diễn biến thiên tai ngày càng phức tạp, không theo quy luật, tần suất tăng lên, cường độ mạnh hơn
rõ rệt. Việt Nam là một trong 4 nước chịu ảnh hưởng lớn nhất của hiện tượng khí hậu cực đoan trong hai thập
kỷ qua và đứng thứ 3, nếu chỉ tính riêng năm 2008. 1
Chính vì vậy, việc hướng dẫn và cung cấp thông tin giúp cho các tổ chức và cá nhân giúp họ xây dựng các bản kế
hoạch và các phương án ứng phó với rủi ro thiên tai (RRTT) là rất cần thiết. Luật phòng chống thiên tai (PCTT) có
hiệu lực từ ngày 1 tháng 5 năm 2014. Theo đó, các tổ chức kinh tế (bao gồm cả các doanh nghiệp) cần chủ động
xây dựng, bảo vệ công trình, cơ sở vật chất của mình, có phương án tổ chức sản xuất, kinh doanh bảo đảm an
toàn trước thiên tai. Như vậy, dù muốn hay không, doanh nghiệp cũng cần phải xây dựng kế hoạch để tuân thủ
các yêu cầu của luật pháp.

White book business responses to climate change and natural disasterThành Nguyễn
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning.

White book business responses to cc and natural disasterThành Nguyễn
Cuốn sách này được thực hiện bởi Phòng thương mại và công nghiệp Việt Nam (VCCI) trên cơ sở hợp tác với Quỹ Châu Á: với mục đích: Nâng cao nhận thức doanh nghiệp Việt Nam về các thách thức và cơ hội với rủi ro thiên tai và biến đổi khí hậu.
Over 5 years, the project has provided disaster risk management (DRM) training to over 3,780 participants from 2,630 businesses across Vietnam. It has organized 129 training courses covering basic DRM concepts and skills. Additionally, the project has trained 1,051 students and reached over 2,807 online viewers. Feedback from participants emphasizes the value and practical application of the training. Moving forward, the project aims to develop online courses, strengthen trainer capacity, and integrate DRM into university curricula to further support DRM readiness across Vietnam.
After the story of Khai Thinh Co., Ltd., Ms. Tran Thi Hanh explain why it’s important to have knowledge and, be aware of all disaster risk and consequences of climate change for a company. The fact that this lack of understanding can be solved by taking training course and that business and entrepreneurs can “spend a small amount but […] protect a huge amount of assets” is highlight. Additionally, it gives you the feedback of previous training and a reminder of the upcoming activities.
Action plan public-private partnerships (PPP) for disaster risk manageThành Nguyễn
1. The document outlines several proposed public-private partnership projects and activities for disaster risk management in Da Nang, Vietnam.
2. Projects include organizing competitions, conducting disaster response drills for businesses, training workshops, and developing early warning systems.
3. The roles and responsibilities of government agencies and private businesses are discussed to encourage investment from companies and utilize their resources to strengthen disaster preparedness, response, and recovery efforts in Da Nang.
1) Thanh Son factory in Da Nang, Vietnam used to deal with disasters reactively without a plan, which caused confusion and stress when storms hit.
2) In 2012, a manager from Thanh Son factory participated in a disaster risk management training supported by USAID, learning how to develop a preparedness plan.
3) Now, Thanh Son factory has a detailed disaster management plan to minimize risks by protecting materials and equipment, and having clear responsibilities to maintain production during and after storms.
Typhoon Nari caused severe damage to Da Nang City in Vietnam in October 2013, injuring 11 people, collapsing 122 houses, and damaging over 5,500 houses. The Lighthouse Corporation, a construction company located in Da Nang, had been affected by natural disasters each year prior to Typhoon Nari. After attending a USAID-sponsored disaster risk management training in 2012, Lighthouse Corporation implemented strategies to strengthen disaster preparedness, such as analyzing risks, training staff, and developing an action plan. These preparations helped protect Lighthouse Corporation from damage during Typhoon Nari, while the rest of the city experienced outages and destruction.
