| The Vietnamese Government commits to the targets by 2030 of 9% of greenhouse gas emission compared to the business as usual and up to 27% with international support based on the updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). According to IFC, by the end of the third quarter of 2020, the total number of certified green buildings in Viet Nam has just stayed at 155 projects – a relatively sparse figure compared to other Southeast - Asian countries. The organization of the annual Viet Nam Green Building Week 2020 is therefore expected to raise the awareness of stakeholders in promoting green and energy efficient projects. |
