This event is part of a series of seminars on green investment and green financial markets towards the goal of Net Zero by 2050 organized by Vietnam Economic Times in collaboration with the Center for Natural Resources and Environment Communication (Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment) and related units in the 3 regions of North - Central - South.

According to Mr. Doan Truong Giang, Deputy Director of the Center for Natural Resources and Environment Communication, green investment assessment and green financial markets have become a trend in many economies and businesses.

“The green financial market not only helps solve the resource problem but also creates a strong motivation for businesses and localities to apply green technology in production and business,” Mr. Giang shared.

The workshop focused on direct and transparent exchange of information on digital technology applications to promote green transformation. This will help businesses and localities build appropriate and effective strategies.

Here, Associate Professor Nguyen Hong Quan, Director of the Institute for Circular Development Research (ICED), Ho Chi Minh City National University, pointed out that increasing environmental issues and the development of social networks are key trends suitable for truly green marketing solutions.

Developing green finance and carbon markets are necessary steps, not only to attract international resources but also to promote sustainable development. To date, about 140 countries have committed to or are working towards the Net Zero target.

Vietnam will take specific measures with the determination to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 43.5% by 2030, while seeking international resources to achieve this goal.

In addition, developing green financial markets and carbon markets are priorities that need to be implemented soon and require the cooperation of the entire political system and business community.
