Xinhua, October 11, 2016 Adjust font size:

Vietnam's national green growth strategy, especially cross-cutting issues with the fight against climate change and efforts in the post-Paris Agreement at the United Nations Climate Change Conference, was discussed here Tuesday.

Vietnamese officials, and representatives of foreign diplomatic corps and institutions touched upon the strategy at a high-level seminar entitled "Vietnam Green Growth Strategy: Pathways towards Implementing the Paris Agreement - Vietnam & EU Experience," held by the Vietnamese Ministry of Planning and Investment and the Delegation of the European Union (EU) to Vietnam.

At the seminar, the ministry's Deputy Minister Nguyen The Phuong said five Vietnamese ministries and almost 30 localities have so far implemented their green growth action plans which cover many fields, including resource mobilization, institutional and policy improvement, capacity enhancement and technology, contributing to concretizing the country's actions towards the sustainable development goals by 2030.

The seminar's delegates also shared the EU's expertise in decision-making and implementation of green growth strategies in Europe; addressed green growth at the strategic level; and outlined the strategic planning in the continent and European support to strategic planning and implementation in Vietnam.
