The report contains innovative elements, such as: a selection of Vietnamese urban environment indicators and climate change indicators according to the most recent international frameworks, and the implementation of metadata and the development of analyses related to these indicators. It will contribute to strengthening the role of official statistics in the country, building a network of producers and users of relevant statistics to monitor climate and sustainability objectives, well-being and health for the population in different areas of the country.
Second part of the event is a high-level forum namely “Smart coordination, effective statistics” with the participation of experts from UNSD, ESCAP, media, academies and a ministry from Viet Nam to share views on value of statistics and role of coordination between institutions producing data and institutions holding administrative sources.
