Vietnam is striving to make its industry lower-emission than before to maintain its competitiveness in export markets.
The country’s goal is to improve energy efficiency, reduce emissions, and increase circular economy solutions, especially in energy-intensive sectors; thus, the UN industrial organization is supporting this transition by providing technology, expertise, and financing solutions.
The main objective is therefore to combine economic growth, better + more stable energy security, and climate goals so that Vietnam strengthens its position in the international competition.
Access to international markets, investment, and global value chains is increasingly shaped by countries’ ability to reduce emissions, improve resource efficiency, and build resilient, low-carbon industries.
For an export-oriented economy deeply integrated into new-generation free trade agreements such as the EVFTA, CPTPP, and RCEP, green growth is no longer a parallel agenda to industrial development; it is becoming a prerequisite for sustaining it.
