The National Strategy for Green Growth for the 2021–2030 period, with a vision extending to 2050 and endorsed by the Prime Minister, is among Viet Nam’s efforts to maintain growth while pursuing a green economic development model aimed at conserving natural resources, the environment, and climate change.

In the context of rapid urbanisation, mounting environmental pressures, and escalating climate change, Ho Chi Minh City is striving to promote the development of a circular economy, laying the groundwork for building a green economy. However, to achieve this goal, the city must implement comprehensive solutions accompanied by bold and breakthrough policies.

As one of the countries heavily affected by climate change, the development of a circular economy is an important solution for Vietnam, towards the development of a green and low-carbon economy.
