National Vietnam Green Growth Strategy
 Vietnam need new development paradigm and strategic solutions
for economic restructuring and sustainable development
Conventional & Brown economic
growth
(Simple Catch-up
development strategy)
Innovative & Environment
friendly economic growth
(tunneling-through/leapfrogging
development strategy)
 Vietnam’s National Green Growth Strategy (VGGS)
: Restructuring and improving economic institutions towards more efficient use of natural
resources, improved competitiveness of the economy through increased investments in
technological innovation, natural capital and economic instruments. Responding to climate
change, reducing poverty/ ensuring sustainable economic development
* Three Strategic Tasks:
1.Reduce intensity of GHG emissions, promote clean & renewable energy
2. Green production (clean industrialization with efficient use of resources )
3. Green lifestyle & promoting sustainable consumption
=> Improving environmental quality while stimulating economic growth and job creation

II. Da Nang City Green Growth
Strategic Initiatives
Overview of Da Nang Green growth opportunities and
Strategic Initiatives
Strategic Initiatives 1:
Sustainable Material Management (Waste-to-Resource)
1.
More Economic Benefits and Earnings (especially for rural residents and urban poor)
•
waste-to-resource(e.g. energy), creating markets/jobs/ industries
•
Resources from bio-degradable waste & agricultural by-products
2.
Less environmental pollution in land, water and airfield
•
Minimize various negative side effects from rapid urbanization & growing population
3.
Highlight the communities’ responsibility & closer PPP(public-private partnership)
•
Merits of the community-based waste management system
4.
Provide sustainable jobs and safe working conditions to the poor
•
Integrate informal economic activity(waste business) into the IRRCs
IRRCs development
City IRRC
focused on recycling & reusing;
cooperated with SMEs for
recycling
focused on composting; local
Rural IRRC residents and unions; link with
biomass plants
Strategic Initiatives 2:
Green Transportation Development (Access & Mobility)
 Transformational Changes toward Green/Public transportation
− Improve traffic safety and Build infrastructure for walkable city
Awareness raising
public service advertisement,
education on traffic safety
Creating New Market
clean fuels(CNG, LNG,
biofuel, etc.) and low-carbon
vehicles (e.g. electric bikes)
Infra Development
pedestrian friendly streets
upgrade traffic lights, signals,
and crosswalks, sidewalks, etc.
Transition to BRT
Strategic preparation for BRT
(Road, Parking lots, Bus
management, Route Design,
Operational Demonstration)
Regulation &
Enforcement
speed limit, emission
control, regular
maintenance check, etc.
Rural Transportation
system development bus
service for rural-urban
connection, etc.
* Preparing related infrastructure and management system for BRT
 Long-term tasks : Integrate transport and land use in the long term
Strategic initiatives 3:
Green Industrialization and infra development
1. Improve resource and energy use efficiency
• Generate industrial symbiosis network in industrial parks
2. Internalize and promote cleaner production systems and network
3. Integrate strategic planning for High Tech Park into other dev plans
Key program A. Energy Audits:
Energy-guzzling
companies⇒
Select companies after examining
energy use of each company
(e.g.) cement, steel, ceramic and
paper industries
(energy-intensive sectors)
=>
① ESCOs invest in energy-saving
facilities and equipment (based on EA)
② Create profits through energy saving
activities(reducing unnecessary costs)
③ Payback from the enterprises (less
cost; no further financial/technical
burdens)
