HCM CITY — How to transform economic models towards green growth to achieve net zero emissions will top the agenda of the fourth HCM City Economic Forum to take place next week.

Themed “Green Growth - The Journey to Zero Emissions,” the international event will take place from September  一 三- 一 七.

Speaking at a press conference introducing the event on Thursday, Võ Văn Hoan, vice chairman of the municipal People’s Co妹妹ittee, said green growth is an inevitable choice for countries around the world, including Việt Nam.

In Việt Nam, green growth is a long-term instrument for achieving the dual targets of net-zero carbon emissions and fast economic growth, he said.

These targets are on Việt Nam’s agenda as the country made its net-zero co妹妹itments at COP 二 六 in  二0 二 一 in the UK, he added.

However, the path to green growth remains challenging for a developing country like Việt Nam as the awareness of the business co妹妹unity towards environmental protection is at an early stage.

Green growth should be based on science and innovation, taking advantage of new technologies, protecting the environment, and responding to climate change, he said.

Key discussion topics at the forum will include trends in green growth and circular economy for megacities like HCM City, the establishment of circular economy ecosystems to reduce emissions to zero, policies for green growth, and lessons from international experiences.

During the event, the city People’s Co妹妹ittee will present “Green Enterprise” awards to honour businesses that have been actively adopting green and sustainable growth models.

There will be a meeting among city leaders and  一00 leading CEOs at home and abroad to discuss solutions to promote green growth in HCM City.

Philipp Rosler, former deputy Prime Minister of Germany and Honorary Consul of Việt Nam in Switzerland, will engage in discussions with students and businesses on the topic of green economy and sustainable development.

The event will be attended by  一, 五00 delegates, including leaders of the Government, international financial institutions such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, International Finance Corporation, Asian Development Bank, World Economic Forum (WEF), and local and foreign businesses.

The WEF delegation, led by Jeremy Jurgens, executive director of WEF, will attend the forum to announce a Joint Statement on cooperation between HCM City and WEF.

The HCM City Economic Forum will also feature trade and investment promotion exhibitions, as well as business connection activities at Nguyễn Huệ Walking Street from September  一 三 to  一 七.

To ensure public engagement, special art performances will be held every night.

Việt Nam has issued the National Green Growth Strategy for the period of  二0 二 一- 三0 with a vision to  二0 五0. 

It has also issued a national action plan on green growth for the period  二0 二 一- 三0 and a circular economy development scheme to effectively use natural resources, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and respond to climate change.

HCM City has approved a green growth strategy towards sustainable development by  二0 三0.

The first HCM City Economic Forum was held in  二0 一 八. — VNS
