Vietnam accelerates action toward net-zero emissions by 2050

Concluding the sixth meeting of the National Steering Committee for implementing Vietnam’s commitments at the 25^th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, who is also head of the Steering Committee, affirmed the correctness of Vietnam’s strong commitments made at COP26 to jointly acting for net-zero emissions by 2050, fulfilling its mission alongside the global community in combating climate change.

He acknowledged and appreciated the proactive, serious spirit and efforts of ministries, sectors, localities, the business community, and the people in implementing Vietnam’s COP26 commitments over the past period. Initial results have laid an important foundation for further progress toward the 2050 net-zero goal.

The Prime Minister noted that ministries, sectors, localities, and enterprises have actively engaged in digital transformation, green transition, development of a low-carbon economy, a circular economy, and energy transition. The institutionalisation and integration of COP26 commitments into the legal system, policies, and strategies have been implemented in a timely and effective manner, creating a legal foundation to promote greenhouse gas emission reduction, green transition, and climate change adaptation.
