Promoting green economy and mitigating the impact of climate change are the top urgent goals of the world, including Vietnam.

Green transition in the energy sector is a key trend in the world and is one of Vietnam’s current top priorities.

The Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) is offering significant opportunities for VN to secure external financial support to achieve its ambitious climate objectives, including funds from the UK for green transition and sustainable development.

The EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) includes a chapter dedicated to sustainable development that covers not only environmental but also labor-related issues, said an official of the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

Vietnam has a mountain to climb to create enough qualified workers for new roles in the country’s green energy transition.

Vietnam is one of 20 countries in the world with high emissions, with CO2 emissions doubling in the last 10 years.
