The meeting culminated in the adoption of a press statement from the 3G group, calling on nations to set aside differences and work toward an open and transparent global governance system that promptly addresses common challenges.
During a working session with Special Adviser to the UN Secretary-General on Climate Action and Energy Transition Selwin Hart a day earlier, Viet mentioned Vietnam's strides toward achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 and updates on projects under the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) framework.
He suggested UN agencies and partners continue supporting Vietnam in developing a green and sustainable economy, enhancing its capacity to respond to climate change, and advancing a just energy transition.
