The first result in this paper was list of natural vegetation types of study area according to UNESCO (1973) with 12 types in 3 classes. The second result was list and the diversity of flora at hight belt over 1600m alt. of the Hoanglien national park. 1553 species belonging to 709 genera, 189 families and 4 divisions of vascular plants were record. There are 5 new records for the flora of Vietnam (one monotype families, one monotype genus and 3 species). Magnoliophyta was most diversity phyllum; 10 richest families and 10 richest genera were listed. The third result was about the plant biogeographical elements, specially with 20.99% of species edemic for Vietnam's flora and 4.46% of local endemic species. The lats result was plant resources, including 656 useful species (42.42%) and 58 species listed in The Red Data Book of Vietnam (1996), The Red List of IUCN (2006), CITES and The Vietnam Government Decree 32-CP (2006).

This study used the Australian Environmental Health Risk Assessment Framework to assess the human health risk of dioxin exposure through foods for local residents in two wards of Bien Hoa City, Vietnam. These wards are known hot-spots for dioxin and a range of stakeholders from central government to local levels were involved in this process. Publications on dioxin characteristics and toxicity were reviewed and dioxin concentrations in local soil, mud, foods, milk and blood samples were used as data for this risk assessment. A food frequency survey of 400 randomly selected households in these wards was conducted to provide data for exposure assessment. Results showed that local residents who had consumed locally cultivated foods, especially fresh water fish and bottom-feeding fish, free-ranging chicken, duck, and beef were at a very high risk, with their daily dioxin intake far exceeding the tolerable daily intake recommended by the WHO. Based on the results of this assessment, a multifaceted risk management program was developed and has been recognized as the first public health program ever to have been implemented in Vietnam to reduce the risks of dioxin exposure at dioxin hot-spots.

This article articulates and analyses the tension between universalism and national ownership in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It focuses on the context of Vietnam as a one-party state, committed to the SDGs, that combines socialist commitments and capitalist aspirations. The SDGs have been critiqued from many angles, and 'national ownership' is pivotal to an evaluation of these competing perspectives. The article examines how far, in the tension between global commitments and national ownership, the SDG agenda itself is compromised. Using the set of goals, targets and indicators as well as cross-cutting foundational principles championed by the Agenda 2030, i.e. 'leave no one behind', 'multi-stakeholder participation' and 'indivisibility', the article sheds light on the dynamics of Vietnam's national ownership of the SDGs and reflects on what this means for the SDGs.
