Vietnam's energy sector plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 17-26% by 2030 and around 90% by 2050 compared to the normal development scenario.

VOV.VN - Vietnam is in dire need of solutions to greenhouse gas emission reduction, and it hopes to receive financial and technology transfer assistance from international organisations and firms, including Astra Zeneca, to realise its climate goal.

The State Securities Commission of Vietnam (SSC) in collaboration with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) held a ceremony in Hanoi on August 8 to launch a manual on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory and reporting.

Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Phan Thi Thang on July 4 expressed her hope that Vietnam and the World Bank (WB) will step up their cooperation in the time ahead, prioritising the improvement of energy efficiency and sustainable clean energy.

Green growth has become an inevitable choice and a goal that every country is aiming for.

The Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) provides important financial and technological solutions and should also be a target for the implementation of Power Development Plan VIII, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha has said.

VOV.VN - After being launched in Hanoi, the Xanh SM (Green - Smart - Mobility) taxi service of GSM Joint Stock Company, the first taxi service supplier using electric vehicles (EVs) in Vietnam, will continue to be implemented in Ho Chi Minh City on April 30.

Vietnam has been a pioneer in the implementation of "green" commitments and praised by the international community for making significant contributions to the “common home” of humanity, said an official.

The European Union (EU)’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which is set to take effect in 2024, will impact production and trade activities of Vietnamese manufacturers, especially in high carbon emission industries like iron and steel, aluminium and cement, as well as the whole economy, said experts.

Ho Chi Minh City’s Department of Natural Resources and Environment, Department of Industry and Trade and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) jointly organised a conference on technology and finance for waste-to-energy projects on April 11.
