Green Economy

On the occasion of the World Ozone Day (September 16), Mr. Nguyen Tuan Quang, Deputy Director of the Department of Climate Change at the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, discusses a new approach to sustainable cooling with Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy and the drivers and opportunities it presents for businesses.

Experts and industry leaders tell Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy how Vietnam can scale up sustainable cooling through smarter technology, greener buildings, and stronger policy.

The central city of Hue is strengthening cooperation with Shizuoka City (Japan) to access green technologies, cut emissions, and develop the carbon market, driving toward carbon neutrality while enhancing business competitiveness.

Adopting advanced energy-efficient cooling technologies and sustainable building practices present a vital opportunity for Vietnam to curb rising power demand, lower emissions, and advance its green transition goals.

Nordic business experience shows that green transition is increasingly tied to cost, productivity, and the ability to meet export market standards, rather than being seen only as an environmental goal.

By 2030 the southern city aims to have at least two industrial parks certified as ecological industrial parks; at least 10% of enterprises in industrial parks applying resource efficiency and cleaner production solutions; and 90% of industrial parks adopting energy-saving and efficient use solutions.
