About the hosts

Vietnam Climate Week 2026 (VNCW 2026) is a four-day, four-city initiative of development partners responding to the Government of Vietnam’s priorities on climate change response. Moving in the lead-up to COP31, it creates a space to foster climate dialogue, recognize progress, and leverage multi-stakeholder participation - engaging policy makers, the private sector, development actors, research institutions, and communities across Vietnam’s climate transition.

The Week is facilitated by lead development partners including SNV Netherlands Development Organisation, New Energy Nexus Vietnam (NEXVN), and WUSC (World University Service of Canada), with events shared with the Government of Vietnam for broader coordination and support. Primary funding is provided by the Australian Government (DFAT), the German Government (via IKI and FES).
