International leaders believe that Vietnam’s commitments to global climate issues help boost investors’ confidence in supporting the country’s green growth targets.

Part of the World Bank’s US$321-million commitment is aimed to mitigate climate vulnerabilities in Vietnam’s biggest business hub of Ho Chi Minh City.

Vietnam pledged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 9% by 2030 with domestic resources and could be increased up to 27% with international support.

Given its central geostrategic location, a burgeoning economy, and large population, Vietnam is fast becoming a key partner of the UK in the Indo-Pacific region.

Vietnam is committed to stepping up efforts against climate change and transition towards a green economy, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has said.

The engagement of young people is expected to contribute to the adoption of more ambitious plans on global climate adaptation.

Vietnamese young representatives address bottlenecks that are incorporated into a roadmap for COP26.

Vietnam is gradually transitioning towards green growth, with workers’ life and job security a focus of the government during this process, the Prime Minister has said.
