National database on natural resources, environment monitoring to be set up

The plan will be realized from 2017-2022 to collect data on natural resources and environment monitoring from agencies under the Ministry of  Finance and other ministries and agencies, organizations and businesses.  

Data will be collected from observation stations, periodically monitoring activities and monitoring data outside Viet Nam’s territory in line with international agreements and conventions.  

The plan is aimed at establishing a national database on natural resources and environment monitoring and applying modern technology to collect, monitor, supply, exploit and share updated information about natural resources and environment monitoring to serve the national socio-economic development, national calamity prevention, responding to climate change and ensuring national security and defense.
