Vietnam will host the 4th Partnering for Green Growth and the Global Goals 2030 Summit in 2025 (the P4G Vietnam Summit 2025), under the theme “Sustainable and People-Centered Green Transition”,  in Hanoi from April 14 – 17.

This will be the largest multilateral high-level summit on green growth that Vietnam will host during the 2021-2026 period.

Speaking at a press conference on April 8 announcing the summit, Standing Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Nguyen Minh Vu emphasized that the event will demonstrate Vietnam’s role, responsibility and contributions to P4G and the collective efforts to promote green growth and sustainable development at national, regional, and global levels.

No country can address climate challenges alone. International and regional cooperation is essential, the Deputy Minister said, adding that the summit aims to raise awareness about sustainable development while facilitating the sharing of experiences, resources, and public-private partnerships to advance green growth initiatives.

According to the Deputy Minister, Vietnam had been significantly affected by climate change and has taken progressive steps toward environmental protection and sustainable development. The country had committed to net-zero emissions by 2050, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 30 per cent by 2030, and had implemented various policies to balance economic growth with environmental protection, he said.

“Therefore, I hope that through this summit, Vietnam will gain access to valuable experiences, effective models, and practical lessons from other countries, international organizations, and leading experts in the fields of green growth and sustainable transition,” the Deputy Minister added.

The summit will begin with sideline activities on April 15-16, organised by the P4G Secretariat, including a Global Advisory Forum and investment promotion events for startups.

The main summit activities on April 16-17 will feature seven key events chaired by Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh.

Approximately 600 international delegates from 40 countries and international organisations have confirmed their attendance, both in-person and virtually, including representatives from P4G member countries and partner organisations.

Participants will include government officials, investment fund representatives, businesses and start-ups in climate fields, and international organisations focused on sustainable development.

It is expected that the Summit will adopt outcome documents, including the "Hanoi Declaration on P4G", which will affirm commitments to sustainable development centred on people and responsible action to address global challenges.
