Coastal forest coverage to reach 19.5% by 2020

VGP – The PM has approved the Plan on coastal forest protection and development in response to climate change in the 2015-2020 phase.

The Plan aims to expand the coastal forest area to 356,753 ha, or achieve a coastal forest coverage of 19.5% by 2020.

It will enhance the protective function of the coastal forest in response to climate change, high sea-level rise, and calamity reduction and preserve biological diversification to promote socio-economic development and consolidate national security and defense.

The Plan will implement five solutions on land, investment, science and technology, communications, education, capacity enhancement and policy completion.
