On November 19, 2024, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh attended and delivered a speech at the Discussion Session on Sustainable Development and Energy Transition within the framework of the 2024 G20 Summit.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh reaffirmed Vietnam's consistent and consistent policy on sustainable development and its commitment not to sacrifice social security, progress, social justice and environmental protection to pursue economic growth alone.
Quoting the famous proverb: “We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from future generations”, the Prime Minister emphasized that every action we take today will determine the fate of future generations.
With that viewpoint, Vietnam pledges to make every effort, together with other countries, partners, and the international community, to strive to achieve the goal of net zero emissions before 2050, contributing to the development of a green, clean, beautiful, and sustainable world, for the future of future generations.

To contribute to putting the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals back on track, accelerating and reaching the finish line on time, the Prime Minister shared with the conference three proposals:
The first is to focus on promoting three key transformations: digital transformation, green transformation and energy transformation. The Prime Minister affirmed that digital transformation is an objective requirement and a foundation; green transformation is the center and guiding direction; energy transformation is the driving force for sustainable development and carbon emission reduction.
The Prime Minister emphasized that science, technology and innovation play a pivotal and breakthrough role, and are the key to the transformation processes for sustainable development. Therefore, the Prime Minister suggested that the G20 should take the lead in connecting resources, sharing experiences, transferring technology, providing financial support, enhancing capacity and creating an open ecosystem for science, technology and innovation for developing countries with the principle of not politicizing science, technology and innovation.
The Prime Minister's second proposal is to focus on promoting investment in people with a consistent view that people are the center, the subject, the goal, the driving force and the most important resource of development; at the same time, focusing on progress, equity, social security and environmental protection. In that spirit, the Prime Minister welcomed Brazil's efforts to reduce inequality, especially for women and children, ensuring social equity and inclusive development during its G20 Presidency year. The Prime Minister emphasized that these are important and prerequisite conditions for sustainable development and energy transition to serve the interests of the people, "leaving no one behind".
Finally, the Prime Minister called for promoting innovative financial cooperation models and effective investment, especially public-private partnership, to unlock, mobilize and effectively use all resources for sustainable development and energy transition.
At the Discussion Session on Sustainable Development and Energy Transition, leaders assessed that progress in implementing the United Nations' sustainable development goals is slowing down, emphasizing the difficulties that developing countries face in ensuring a fair energy transition. Leaders shared solutions to reduce economic inequality, improve social welfare and protect the environment. Policies on green finance and mobilizing international resources to support developing countries received much support.
The conference affirmed the need to increase financial resources for the global energy transition, emphasizing the urgency of diversifying investment capital sources for technology and infrastructure, and strengthening public-private cooperation to promote energy transition, especially in developing countries.
