WEBVTT 00:00:03.136 --> 00:00:07.496 Like most places in the world, the causes of climate change in Vietnam 00:00:07.496 --> 00:00:11.836 is due to human activities increasing emissions in the earth's atmosphere. 00:00:12.356 --> 00:00:16.196 Nowadays, activities such as monoculture and livestock farming also 00:00:16.196 --> 00:00:17.476 produce musical instruments. 00:00:18.756 --> 00:00:22.042 Ever since my father started raising pigs for Agrivina Agricultural 00:00:22.042 --> 00:00:23.356 Investment Joint Stock Company 00:00:23.356 --> 00:00:26.176 in Tan Phuc commune, Lang Chanh district came into operation, 00:00:26.176 --> 00:00:29.756 thousands of people in Tan Phuc commune and Lang Chanh town 00:00:29.756 --> 00:00:33.036 had to endure the stench that rose up, 00:00:33.038 --> 00:00:36.964 The lives of households become miserable. Those who have private rooms 00:00:36.964 --> 00:00:39.818 are better off, but now those who have 00:00:39.818 --> 00:00:43.505 The people in the thatched house also work in the fields and go to the forest 00:00:43.505 --> 00:00:45.578 to cut bamboo to get the tubers to carry. 00:00:45.578 --> 00:00:50.150 The glue is also rotten. When I go home, I can't eat well or sleep well. 00:00:50.150 --> 00:00:51.578 The rotten time frame is 00:00:51.578 --> 00:00:56.157 around 10 o'clock around 10 o'clock twenty at night is until morning is 9 or 00:00:56.157 --> 00:00:58.598 10 o'clock is that time frame is rotten 00:00:59.785 --> 00:01:03.365 According to many locals, although the pig farm area is located in a canyon, 00:01:03.665 --> 00:01:08.425 But kilometers away, people still smell a strong, extremely unpleasant stench. 00:01:08.805 --> 00:01:10.705 The most miserable are still the elderly and children. 00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:17.377 The stench comes from the pig farm, and then it comes down to me working in the 00:01:17.377 --> 00:01:20.399 fields and the people here, but the smell is unbearable. 00:01:20.679 --> 00:01:23.717 The ladies coming back from the fields here, at first they kept running 00:01:23.717 --> 00:01:25.119 back saying the smell was unbearable. 00:01:26.093 --> 00:01:30.293 Currently, the high-tech pig farm of Agrivina Agricultural Investment Joint 00:01:30.293 --> 00:01:32.393 Stock Company has been suspended. 00:01:32.393 --> 00:01:34.793 Time starts from July 30. 00:01:34.793 --> 00:01:39.063 The authorities continue to monitor and only allow the farm to resume operations 00:01:39.063 --> 00:01:41.033 when it meets all environmental conditions. 00:01:42.310 --> 00:01:45.383 Because there is no centralized wastewater treatment system, for more 00:01:45.383 --> 00:01:48.762 than 10 years now, manufacturing enterprises in the industrial cluster of 00:01:48.762 --> 00:01:52.142 craft villages in Nang Tay have discharged wastewater directly into the 00:01:52.142 --> 00:01:54.600 environment, causing serious environmental impacts and affecting the 00:01:54.600 --> 00:01:56.750 lives of hundreds and thousands of households. 00:01:57.751 --> 00:02:00.811 People have repeatedly written petitions to authorities at all levels, 00:02:01.211 --> 00:02:05.631 reflected in voter contacts, but the pollution situation has not improved. 00:02:06.211 --> 00:02:09.751 The results of the survey at the submerged canal near the An Tay craft village industrial cluster showed that, 00:02:10.171 --> 00:02:12.011 black sewage, stinking 00:02:13.111 --> 00:02:16.328 The An Tay craft village industrial cluster currently has 16 enterprises 00:02:16.328 --> 00:02:17.791 operating in production and business. 00:02:18.111 --> 00:02:20.391 but there is no centralized wastewater treatment system. 00:02:20.391 --> 00:02:25.083 Many businesses here produce highly hazardous items such as plastic, 00:02:25.083 --> 00:02:26.491 packaging, and paper. 00:02:27.171 --> 00:02:29.515 According to information from the Department of Industry and Trade, 00:02:29.515 --> 00:02:33.031 initial infrastructure investment in the An Tay craft village industrial cluster is not yet synchronous. 00:02:33.431 --> 00:02:36.391 has not invested in building a centralized wastewater treatment system. 00:02:36.991 --> 00:02:40.038 Therefore, the environmental protection infrastructure of the industrial park 00:02:40.038 --> 00:02:41.731 and the businesses operating here 00:02:41.731 --> 00:02:45.131 not guaranteed according to the provisions of the Environmental Protection Law 2020. 00:02:48.342 --> 00:02:53.450 Not only livestock farming activities, but also factory activities cause 00:02:53.450 --> 00:02:54.982 serious environmental pollution. 00:02:54.982 --> 00:03:00.509 Currently in Ninh Binh city, there are a series of concrete production and mixing 00:03:00.509 --> 00:03:02.482 factories operating, causing environmental pollution. 00:03:02.482 --> 00:03:05.882 Although people have repeatedly petitioned and the People's Committee of 00:03:05.882 --> 00:03:09.622 Ninh Binh province has also directed the handling, these facilities have 00:03:09.622 --> 00:03:10.982 not yet been relocated. 00:03:11.782 --> 00:03:15.699 There are times when when cooking asphalt to make fertilizer, it flies 00:03:15.699 --> 00:03:20.596 into the house, very dusty, black dust, no matter what, it's all black, it even 00:03:20.596 --> 00:03:21.902 gets into the house. 00:03:22.462 --> 00:03:32.023 Second is when the car is repaired, it is very noisy, and now the things and 00:03:32.023 --> 00:03:37.402 materials of the car are dirty and very polluted. 00:03:37.402 --> 00:03:43.506 So, we hope, the people also really hope that the city authorities will relocate 00:03:43.506 --> 00:03:49.174 so that the people can live there and ensure that the air they 00:03:49.174 --> 00:03:50.482 breathe is cleaner. 00:03:51.590 --> 00:03:54.652 These facilities are located right in densely populated areas, so every time 00:03:54.652 --> 00:03:57.970 they operate or produce, smoke and dust fly into people's homes, causing pollution. 00:03:58.390 --> 00:04:03.250 Along with that, the loud noise from the machines has affected people's daily lives. 00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:09.951 Currently in Ninh Binh city, there are 4 production and business establishments 00:04:09.951 --> 00:04:14.160 that pose a risk of causing environmental pollution in the area. 00:04:14.980 --> 00:04:19.784 Up to now, the Provincial People's Committee has had a policy to move these 00:04:19.784 --> 00:04:21.500 facilities out of the city. 00:04:21.500 --> 00:04:27.740 and assigned to provincial departments to arrange locations for units to move. 00:04:27.740 --> 00:04:32.920 Right now it is all about where to move these units. 00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:38.471 Because it is moving, it is moving outside the city area, not arranged 00:04:38.471 --> 00:04:40.180 within the city area. 00:04:40.900 --> 00:04:45.010 So now it is related to the city's wishes in the province 00:04:45.010 --> 00:04:46.380 and the provincial departments. 00:04:46.380 --> 00:04:52.540 to unify with the units to unify the moving position to make it suitable. 00:04:52.964 --> 00:04:56.094 Since 2016, the Provincial Party Committee, People's Council and People's 00:04:56.094 --> 00:04:59.224 Committee of Ninh Binh province have agreed on the policy 00:04:59.224 --> 00:05:02.584 Move polluting facilities out of the city center. 00:05:02.584 --> 00:05:06.910 However, up to now, nearly 10 years have passed, these facilities have not been 00:05:06.910 --> 00:05:08.764 relocated and are still operating normally. 00:05:11.273 --> 00:05:14.653 To reduce environmental pollution and respond to climate change, 00:05:15.113 --> 00:05:18.893 Nowadays, many localities are also actively implementing environmental protection work. 00:05:18.893 --> 00:05:22.333 such as developing green agriculture, protecting and planting mangrove forests. 00:05:22.873 --> 00:05:27.013 Greenhouse gas emission facilities must conduct greenhouse gas inventories according to regulations. 00:05:27.013 --> 00:05:29.693 in Decree 2022 of the Government. 00:05:30.333 --> 00:05:34.153 However, the effects of climate change have had a significant impact on the environment, 00:05:34.153 --> 00:05:38.773 economy and human life and is increasingly increasing. 00:05:38.773 --> 00:05:42.440 Therefore, there is a need for a comprehensive and unified solution 00:05:42.440 --> 00:05:43.773 to tackle climate change. 00:05:50.474 --> 00:05:51.814 Dear audience, ladies and gentlemen, 00:05:51.814 --> 00:05:56.414 At the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Summit, Cup 26 00:05:56.414 --> 00:06:00.774 Vietnam has committed to net zero emissions by 2050. 00:06:00.774 --> 00:06:04.034 So how does Vietnam realize these commitments? 00:06:04.434 --> 00:06:06.694 How to apply fundamental comprehensive solutions? 00:06:07.054 --> 00:06:09.714 Will be discussed by experts in the Net Zero discussion 00:06:09.714 --> 00:06:14.054 Reducing greenhouse gas emissions to respond to climate change today 00:06:14.054 --> 00:06:16.594 The seminar was attended by 2 guests. 00:06:16.594 --> 00:06:18.594 We would like to respectfully introduce Mr. Luong Quang Huy. 00:06:18.594 --> 00:06:22.654 Head of the lecture room on greenhouse gas emissions and ozone layer protection 00:06:22.654 --> 00:06:25.054 Department of Climate Change Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment 00:06:26.738 --> 00:06:30.018 And I would like to introduce Associate Professor Dr. Bui Thi An, Director of 00:06:30.018 --> 00:06:32.127 the Institute of Natural Resources, Environment and Community Development, 00:06:32.127 --> 00:06:34.938 Former Member of the National Assembly's Committee on Science, Technology and Environment. 00:06:36.058 --> 00:06:39.518 Yes, thank you two experts for accepting to participate in today's Labor Newspaper program. 00:06:40.298 --> 00:06:45.398 Ladies and gentlemen, many businesses are now pursuing Net Zero goals, trying 00:06:45.398 --> 00:06:48.798 to achieve zero carbon emissions across their operations. 00:06:48.798 --> 00:06:53.413 So, please let me ask the experts what they think about this shift and the 00:06:53.413 --> 00:06:55.258 efforts of businesses in recent times. 00:06:55.638 --> 00:06:57.158 First, please invite Mr. Luong Quang Huy. 00:06:58.092 --> 00:07:04.012 Yes, thank you. First of all, I want to say that at the 26th United Nations 00:07:04.012 --> 00:07:07.712 Climate Change Convention Summit, which we still call Conference 26, 00:07:08.372 --> 00:07:13.452 Vietnam has made a commitment to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. 00:07:14.312 --> 00:07:18.752 Well first of all we have to understand that zero net emissions does not mean we have no emissions, 00:07:19.352 --> 00:07:24.812 But as much as we emit, we must absorb or store it. 00:07:24.812 --> 00:07:31.112 We have also implemented this goal right after Cup December 26, 2021. 00:07:31.652 --> 00:07:36.722 In 2022, the Prime Minister also issued a series of directive documents related 00:07:36.722 --> 00:07:40.232 to the implementation of the commitments of Cup 26. 00:07:40.692 --> 00:07:43.146 including the establishment of a steering committee on the implementation 00:07:43.146 --> 00:07:44.372 of the CoC 26 commitment. 00:07:44.972 --> 00:07:50.504 And there are national strategies on climate change as well as nationally 00:07:50.504 --> 00:07:54.652 determined contributions which are a commitment of our Vietnam. 00:07:55.252 --> 00:07:57.572 Also updated in 2022. 00:07:58.492 --> 00:08:03.272 In all these documents, for society in general and the business community in particular, 00:08:03.652 --> 00:08:06.532 The role of the business community and society is extremely important. 00:08:06.912 --> 00:08:11.508 First of all, it's about people's awareness and understanding of what zero 00:08:11.508 --> 00:08:14.572 net emissions means and how to achieve it. 00:08:15.152 --> 00:08:21.392 These have also been detailed in the roadmap to 2030 in the nationally 00:08:21.392 --> 00:08:22.832 determined contribution (NDC). 00:08:24.812 --> 00:08:28.572 2050 is in the national strategy on climate change to 2050. 00:08:29.312 --> 00:08:33.572 So our most important job is to shift the energy used. 00:08:33.572 --> 00:08:37.129 as well as greenhouse gas emission reduction activities to realize the 00:08:37.129 --> 00:08:39.392 commitment to net zero emissions by 2050. 00:08:40.321 --> 00:08:44.241 Yes, thank you. We would like to hear Ms. Bui Thi An's opinion on this same question. 00:08:44.438 --> 00:08:49.648 I certainly agree with Mr. Huy's opinion, that is, right after the 00:08:49.648 --> 00:08:53.556 Vietnamese Government's very brave commitment to reduce development to 00:08:53.556 --> 00:08:54.858 zero by 2050, 00:08:55.258 --> 00:08:59.287 That is on a very difficult reality that the Government has committed to and it 00:08:59.287 --> 00:09:00.898 is extremely challenging for the country. 00:09:01.218 --> 00:09:05.152 But then there was a synchronous and comprehensive implementation of all the 00:09:05.152 --> 00:09:07.118 above fields to achieve that goal. 00:09:07.178 --> 00:09:10.453 Well, apart from the fact that Mr. Huy said the problem is different in some 00:09:10.453 --> 00:09:12.418 ways, I think it has been shown in practice. 00:09:12.418 --> 00:09:15.938 First are the documents and comprehensive policy mechanisms. 00:09:16.238 --> 00:09:20.758 The first is from the transition of energies, or implementing a circular economy. 00:09:21.038 --> 00:09:25.443 Third, it is to make the people and all business communities aware, as Mr. Huy 00:09:25.443 --> 00:09:27.498 said, that changing awareness is extremely important. 00:09:27.778 --> 00:09:31.458 But one thing is that along with the policies I give the very basic policies are the root. 00:09:31.558 --> 00:09:35.034 What does that mean? For example, I take the green credit policy and that is a 00:09:35.034 --> 00:09:37.858 very important thing to show in the story of implementing the whole policy. 00:09:37.858 --> 00:09:41.923 And a proof is that right after the 21st plan, a short time later, the 00:09:41.923 --> 00:09:43.278 8th power plan was approved. 00:09:43.718 --> 00:09:46.958 But after that, it must be said that it took more than 2 years to plan for electricity 7 to pass through there. 00:09:47.138 --> 00:09:51.926 That is to show that we are trying to fulfill the commitment to log 26, which 00:09:51.926 --> 00:09:54.918 means to fulfill the emission stream equal to log 2050. 00:09:55.298 --> 00:09:57.638 That is, we shift the structure of energy. 00:09:57.958 --> 00:10:02.100 That is to say, to minimize the problems of switching from fossil energy to 00:10:02.100 --> 00:10:03.578 clean energy and renewable energy. 00:10:03.578 --> 00:10:05.318 I think those are very basic steps. 00:10:05.318 --> 00:10:08.750 Not to mention a series of policies related to afforestation, forest 00:10:08.750 --> 00:10:09.998 protection and so on. 00:10:10.378 --> 00:10:14.032 Then another thing is that there are special policy mechanisms for businesses 00:10:14.032 --> 00:10:15.858 that implement a good circular economy. 00:10:15.998 --> 00:10:19.161 I think it's a very concrete set of policies that have come into practice 00:10:19.161 --> 00:10:22.098 and we're starting to show that we're following through on the original roadmap. 00:10:22.098 --> 00:10:25.018 and is relatively consistent with the government's direction of reducing 00:10:25.018 --> 00:10:26.478 emissions to zero by 2050. 00:10:27.697 --> 00:10:32.017 Yes, China Carbon and Net Zero Benefits Business 00:10:32.017 --> 00:10:35.017 And why is it necessary to aim for Net Zero, madam? 00:10:35.611 --> 00:10:38.571 Because first of all, this is an inevitable trend of the world. 00:10:38.571 --> 00:10:42.046 If I myself say that if a business does not aim for that or a country does not 00:10:42.046 --> 00:10:43.591 aim for that, I will also eliminate myself. 00:10:43.591 --> 00:10:46.591 Because I say for example in Vietnam, businesses must aim for export. 00:10:46.591 --> 00:10:49.331 Exporting now to international standards 00:10:49.331 --> 00:10:54.391 In that case if we don't do it on a platform we do it on a green economy platform 00:10:54.391 --> 00:10:57.388 What does that mean? It means we minimize the amount of greenhouse gas 00:10:57.388 --> 00:10:58.771 emissions we release into the environment. 00:10:58.771 --> 00:11:02.371 Or are we not neutralizing the things that our emissions cause? 00:11:02.371 --> 00:11:04.671 Then they themselves will not import those goods. 00:11:04.671 --> 00:11:07.031 I give you an example and so we cannot export. 00:11:07.031 --> 00:11:10.871 And of course we will be benefited and harmed and businesses will be eliminated. 00:11:10.871 --> 00:11:13.531 And so our economy cannot develop. 00:11:13.531 --> 00:11:16.711 This is the problem that I think is the world trend and it is the same everywhere. 00:11:16.711 --> 00:11:19.591 If we don't follow the trend, we will be eliminated. 00:11:19.591 --> 00:11:23.131 So the story of reducing greenhouse gas emissions or achieving net zero 00:11:23.131 --> 00:11:26.931 That is the trend I am talking about, it is the inevitable trend of the world as well as of Vietnam. 00:11:26.931 --> 00:11:28.791 We can't go any other way. 00:11:29.594 --> 00:11:33.034 Yes, with this question we would like to hear Mr. Luong Quang Huy's opinion. 00:11:33.205 --> 00:11:37.671 Yes, as Associate Professor Dr. Bui Thi An said, this is an inevitable 00:11:37.671 --> 00:11:39.045 trend of the world. 00:11:39.625 --> 00:11:42.565 And for businesses, in their production and business processes, 00:11:42.885 --> 00:11:47.733 First and foremost, they want their image to be better in the 00:11:47.733 --> 00:11:48.945 eyes of consumers. 00:11:49.585 --> 00:11:52.685 And now, in Vietnam, for large enterprises, 00:11:52.805 --> 00:11:55.165 foreign invested enterprises, FDI enterprises, 00:11:55.725 --> 00:11:57.265 they have been doing this very well, 00:11:57.625 --> 00:12:01.185 because they have followed the chain of companies in their group. 00:12:01.185 --> 00:12:03.325 However, the number of these companies is not much. 00:12:04.065 --> 00:12:08.305 For us, there is a fairly large number of small and medium-sized companies operating in the Vietnamese market, 00:12:08.385 --> 00:12:09.585 or some also export. 00:12:10.865 --> 00:12:14.119 Their technical capabilities and awareness are more limited than 00:12:14.119 --> 00:12:15.565 those of large companies. 00:12:16.125 --> 00:12:21.385 But in recent years, since we committed to net zero emissions by 2021, 00:12:22.085 --> 00:12:26.465 We have also noticed that there has been a huge shift in the business. 00:12:26.925 --> 00:12:30.385 Because they realize that not only do they have a better image, 00:12:30.385 --> 00:12:33.325 that even in the process they want to participate in, 00:12:34.265 --> 00:12:38.945 have received financial resources to serve production and business development, 00:12:39.485 --> 00:12:42.105 The current domestic and foreign banking system, 00:12:42.405 --> 00:12:47.485 They have also begun to apply green criteria to green projects. 00:12:47.485 --> 00:12:51.400 and even cleaner, greener production processes for businesses before 00:12:51.400 --> 00:12:52.705 they are funded. 00:12:53.225 --> 00:12:56.245 And this is also an issue that we are very concerned about today. 00:12:56.245 --> 00:12:59.505 but it is also an international trend that cannot be changed. 00:13:00.280 --> 00:13:04.005 There are many benefits for businesses. Developing clean energy and gradually 00:13:04.005 --> 00:13:08.406 moving away from other fossil energy sources such as coal, oil or gas 00:13:08.406 --> 00:13:09.760 is being strongly promoted. 00:13:10.160 --> 00:13:14.731 So this also leads to the use and transfer of resources and international 00:13:14.731 --> 00:13:16.840 financial resources to clean energy sectors. 00:13:17.540 --> 00:13:20.820 So Ms. Bui Thi An, what do you think about this content? 00:13:21.205 --> 00:13:24.925 I think this is to say that this goal is I think that 00:13:24.925 --> 00:13:29.665 That is a very core goal, fundamental to the issue of clean energy development. 00:13:29.665 --> 00:13:33.205 Because I want to develop something special for Vietnam. 00:13:33.205 --> 00:13:36.065 Then the issue of investment capital is almost number 1 important. 00:13:36.065 --> 00:13:39.805 But in this case, the bank and as Mr. Huy said 00:13:39.805 --> 00:13:41.845 That is, people do what is called green credit. 00:13:41.845 --> 00:13:44.345 That means if you don't do it right, they won't give you a loan. 00:13:44.345 --> 00:13:48.145 And if you do business and invest without capital, you will never develop. 00:13:48.145 --> 00:13:51.325 So I think that is the core, I think the fundamental nature is the core. 00:13:51.325 --> 00:13:53.465 In the matter of developing investment in a new direction 00:13:53.465 --> 00:13:56.665 I don't need to say much, I just don't have capital, I won't lend anymore. 00:13:56.665 --> 00:13:58.605 Then of course it will not develop. 00:13:58.605 --> 00:14:03.705 And I think that's a way to limit unclean energy. 00:14:03.705 --> 00:14:05.705 In the process of investing in Vietnam we 00:14:06.515 --> 00:14:09.015 Yes, we would like to hear more from Luong Hoa Huy. 00:14:09.299 --> 00:14:14.839 Yes, the shift to new, cleaner and greener energy sources, 00:14:15.359 --> 00:14:20.399 Of course it has been an international trend for the past two to three decades. 00:14:20.959 --> 00:14:24.399 And the financial resources to support it up to this point are enormous, 00:14:24.839 --> 00:14:29.279 extremely large and there are still many potential sources for developing countries like Vietnam. 00:14:29.979 --> 00:14:34.902 We have also recently joined the partnership for a just 00:14:34.902 --> 00:14:36.379 energy transition, ZP. 00:14:36.379 --> 00:14:41.149 And even though the commitment is only $15.5 billion over the next 00:14:41.149 --> 00:14:42.739 three to five years, 00:14:43.199 --> 00:14:49.679 But it is a first step that we can say is to provide a catalyst. 00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:51.519 for our Vietnam energy transition process. 00:14:52.019 --> 00:14:55.859 In fact, Vietnam has been and is making the process of energy transition from fossil energy. 00:14:55.859 --> 00:14:58.979 to more sustainable energy sources, to cleaner energy sources, 00:14:59.119 --> 00:15:01.899 For example, wind power, solar power and hydropower have been around for quite a while now. 00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:05.759 But in fact, over the past 20 years, our transition process has been 00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:08.959 from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources 00:15:08.959 --> 00:15:10.439 then we would have been much better. 00:15:10.979 --> 00:15:14.479 However, to achieve the goal we set out on a roadmap. 00:15:14.479 --> 00:15:19.139 achieve net zero emissions by 2030 and continue until 2050, 00:15:19.819 --> 00:15:22.219 then the financial resources to serve this process 00:15:22.219 --> 00:15:25.839 then according to our preliminary calculations as well as those of international organizations 00:15:25.839 --> 00:15:30.719 It should amount to 400-500 billion dollars between now and 2050. 00:15:31.079 --> 00:15:34.339 And this source of finance is of course for any country. 00:15:34.339 --> 00:15:35.659 then it is a very large amount. 00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:40.419 Therefore, we also need to have policies as well as actions. 00:15:40.419 --> 00:15:43.759 to encourage private as well as financial sectors 00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:47.539 to join the process towards zero net emissions. 00:15:47.539 --> 00:15:50.459 through green projects, energy transfer projects 00:15:50.459 --> 00:15:53.119 for cleaner and greener energy in the coming time. 00:15:53.502 --> 00:15:58.152 I would like to add a little bit to Mr. Huy's opinion. Mr. Huy calls it green 00:15:58.152 --> 00:16:01.161 development policy or investment capital. That is called a catalyst. I 00:16:01.161 --> 00:16:04.990 should probably change it to QX. QX is very important at this stage for 00:16:04.990 --> 00:16:08.273 Vietnam, from switching from dirty energy, that is fossil fuels, to energy. 00:16:08.273 --> 00:16:12.102 I should probably use QX. QX is very important at this time for Vietnam. 00:16:12.436 --> 00:16:17.364 Exactly. Yes, and how will our transition to green energy and away from 00:16:17.364 --> 00:16:20.776 fossil fuels help reduce the effects of climate change? 00:16:20.896 --> 00:16:22.296 First, please come to Bui Thi An. 00:16:22.426 --> 00:16:27.155 First of all, it must be said that this is the wish of the world and especially 00:16:27.155 --> 00:16:28.546 of Vietnam for many years. 00:16:28.686 --> 00:16:32.301 But we have not yet eliminated the energy we call unclean energy, that is, 00:16:32.301 --> 00:16:34.366 the energy that is converted from chemical energy. 00:16:34.366 --> 00:16:39.566 But that's exactly what happens, when we use these energies, it increases the 00:16:39.566 --> 00:16:42.366 amount of greenhouse gas emissions a lot. 00:16:42.686 --> 00:16:46.135 And of course, if you say like Mr. Huy, Mr. Huy will give a lecture, that is, it 00:16:46.135 --> 00:16:48.626 will make the temperature increase, it will make the sea level rise, etc. 00:16:48.886 --> 00:16:51.786 It causes so many consequences that we cannot calculate them all. 00:16:51.786 --> 00:16:56.391 So just the fact that if we can reduce the use of clean energy, I think our 00:16:56.391 --> 00:16:57.746 environment will be much cleaner. 00:16:58.026 --> 00:17:03.691 And from this environment, of course, emissions will be reduced and of course 00:17:03.691 --> 00:17:06.306 we will enjoy many good consequences. 00:17:06.626 --> 00:17:10.324 But if we keep using coal-fired thermal power all day long, for example, or 00:17:10.324 --> 00:17:14.286 other similar energy sources, I think it will have a huge impact on the environment. 00:17:14.366 --> 00:17:17.866 But it must be said that we have not measured or quantified the consequences 00:17:17.866 --> 00:17:19.366 it has led to in Vietnam. 00:17:20.290 --> 00:17:24.990 Yes, what about climate change? What statistics or assessments do we have? 00:17:24.990 --> 00:17:28.554 What about reducing the impact of climate change by switching to 00:17:28.554 --> 00:17:29.850 green forms of energy? 00:17:30.517 --> 00:17:35.002 Well, first of all, from a global perspective, we already have a 00:17:35.002 --> 00:17:36.497 lot of scientific evidence. 00:17:36.497 --> 00:17:40.753 Especially for the reports that are regularly issued every year by the 00:17:40.753 --> 00:17:43.237 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) team. 00:17:43.237 --> 00:17:48.463 So what warns us is that we are now emitting more than we can, and 00:17:48.463 --> 00:17:49.857 the earth can bear. 00:17:49.857 --> 00:17:53.597 So should we say in other words we have reached the threshold? 00:17:54.597 --> 00:17:59.037 Because before that, we were in 2015 when the Paris Agreement was adopted. 00:17:59.037 --> 00:18:03.383 The IPCC says we need to keep the temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius 00:18:03.383 --> 00:18:05.557 by the end of the 21st century. 00:18:05.557 --> 00:18:09.155 But just a few years later, they announced that it was no longer just 00:18:09.155 --> 00:18:12.497 keeping it below 2 degrees Celsius, but keeping it below 1.5 degrees Celsius. 00:18:12.497 --> 00:18:20.650 And just recently at COP 28 in Dubai, the IPCC also announced that with 00:18:20.650 --> 00:18:22.397 our current efforts, 00:18:22.397 --> 00:18:25.677 So keeping the temperature below 1.5 degrees Celsius is very difficult. 00:18:25.677 --> 00:18:28.977 That leads to the fact that the whole world 00:18:29.037 --> 00:18:59.017 It is something we have to keep below 1.5 degrees Celsius. 00:18:59.017 --> 00:19:03.849 We already know that it will cause very large impacts on the 00:19:03.849 --> 00:19:05.057 Earth's climate system. 00:19:05.057 --> 00:19:11.697 And like the El Nino phenomenon that we also experienced in 2023 00:19:11.697 --> 00:19:14.677 And right now this continues into 2024 00:19:14.677 --> 00:19:17.537 Although El Nino is not climate change 00:19:17.537 --> 00:19:20.197 But it exacerbates the effects of climate change. 00:19:20.197 --> 00:19:22.517 And that has been proven by scientists. 00:19:22.517 --> 00:19:26.477 As well as many of the programs that we now see through the media in our 00:19:26.477 --> 00:19:28.997 It can be seen that the impacts of climate change 00:19:28.997 --> 00:19:31.937 Exacerbated by the impact of El Nino 00:19:31.937 --> 00:19:34.337 Well that's also what we say that is. 00:19:34.337 --> 00:19:36.437 The climate change we emit greenhouse gases 00:19:36.437 --> 00:19:40.697 Has caused ripple effects on our natural systems 00:19:40.697 --> 00:19:41.757 And can't stand it anymore 00:19:41.757 --> 00:19:44.697 So the thing that reduces greenhouse gas emissions like we just talked about 00:19:44.697 --> 00:19:48.537 Then it is not just a goal for us to reduce the impact of climate change. 00:19:48.537 --> 00:19:51.637 But besides, as Associate Professor Dr. Bui The An also said, 00:19:51.637 --> 00:19:54.597 We have a lot of environmental co-benefits. 00:19:54.597 --> 00:19:56.617 Socially, economically it comes with it too. 00:19:56.617 --> 00:19:59.457 And those are the goals we want to achieve. 00:19:59.457 --> 00:20:01.177 To ensure a more sustainable life 00:20:02.037 --> 00:20:07.333 Yes, over the past year the world's average temperature has reached 00:20:07.333 --> 00:20:08.777 consecutive historical peaks. 00:20:08.777 --> 00:20:11.797 So, Ms. Bui The An, what do you think about this phenomenon? 00:20:12.398 --> 00:20:16.498 First of all, it must be said that the recent period must talk about things that are called contributing. 00:20:16.618 --> 00:20:19.778 I call it contributing to global warming. 00:20:20.098 --> 00:20:23.018 Not only Vietnam but the world is also very concerned. 00:20:23.338 --> 00:20:26.158 Because this is a chain system. 00:20:26.478 --> 00:20:29.887 Because it's not a flat world anymore, and it's not like we can 00:20:29.887 --> 00:20:31.198 block one country from another. 00:20:31.198 --> 00:20:34.238 So this is an issue that I consider a global concern. 00:20:34.558 --> 00:20:37.831 But as for the proposed solutions, I think that as Mr. Huy has said, some of 00:20:37.831 --> 00:20:39.058 the proposed solutions are already good. 00:20:39.058 --> 00:20:42.958 But I have to say that some of the solutions proposed are not very effective, in some countries. 00:20:43.098 --> 00:20:45.098 So the temperature increase is natural. 00:20:46.038 --> 00:20:49.118 As Mr. Huy said, rising temperatures also cause many other consequences. 00:20:49.238 --> 00:20:50.858 then there is sea forest water, and so on, and so on. 00:20:51.178 --> 00:20:53.378 So it stopped, then flooded, flooded. 00:20:53.498 --> 00:20:56.918 So this is something I think maybe we should come here, 00:20:56.978 --> 00:20:59.318 with the direction is clear, with the policies is clear. 00:20:59.418 --> 00:21:02.798 But I think we should probably discuss the implementation solutions in detail. 00:21:03.078 --> 00:21:06.138 The ways in which organizations implement them are national and even international. 00:21:06.138 --> 00:21:08.118 Because of the climate it is not a country, 00:21:08.218 --> 00:21:10.278 Because a river does not originate in a country. 00:21:10.358 --> 00:21:16.358 So I think there must be regulations or international and regional commitments. 00:21:16.358 --> 00:21:18.178 in the matter of implementing climate change. 00:21:18.258 --> 00:21:22.578 I think I just hope that I can control the temperature as Huy said. 00:21:22.578 --> 00:21:26.298 The world hopes it will be below 1.5 degrees Celsius, otherwise I think it will be very difficult. 00:21:26.598 --> 00:21:29.682 This is a problem of solution, inter-regional, inter-Vietnam, 00:21:29.682 --> 00:21:30.838 inter-provincial, inter-district solution. 00:21:30.838 --> 00:21:36.738 inter-regional, inter-country, things that must be very specific regulations, 00:21:36.838 --> 00:21:39.118 have specific regulations and have specific commitments. 00:21:39.438 --> 00:21:43.388 And if not, what should it be like? Otherwise, I'm very worried that it 00:21:43.388 --> 00:21:44.798 will have some not-so-good changes. 00:21:44.798 --> 00:21:47.975 in the internal climate of our country, of the region in general 00:21:47.975 --> 00:21:49.298 and of Vietnam in particular. 00:21:49.970 --> 00:21:54.650 And Mr. Luong Quang Huy, what results have our climate change response work 00:21:54.650 --> 00:21:56.090 achieved in recent times? 00:21:56.390 --> 00:22:00.350 How have we exchanged and shared experiences and learned from other 00:22:00.350 --> 00:22:01.790 countries around the world? 00:22:02.204 --> 00:22:08.000 Yes, first of all, domestically, all of our sectors and all localities have had 00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:10.484 effective response activities to climate change. 00:22:10.924 --> 00:22:15.749 And it must be said that over the past 15 years, the work of responding to 00:22:15.749 --> 00:22:18.764 climate change has been effective right from the first documents. 00:22:18.764 --> 00:22:22.093 For example, the National Target Program on Climate Change Response issued 00:22:22.093 --> 00:22:23.304 in 2008 until now, 00:22:23.884 --> 00:22:27.884 We have carried out many activities related to effective climate change response. 00:22:27.884 --> 00:22:32.986 So I want to say that there is no activity that is solely aimed 00:22:32.986 --> 00:22:34.444 at responding to change. 00:22:35.044 --> 00:22:38.024 that we always have socio-economic development activities that integrate 00:22:38.024 --> 00:22:41.004 effective climate change response activities into socio-economic development activities. 00:22:41.544 --> 00:22:44.890 And thinking about it the other way around, any activity can contribute 00:22:44.890 --> 00:22:46.284 to effective climate change response. 00:22:46.384 --> 00:22:51.714 And that is why our entire political system and society must make certain 00:22:51.714 --> 00:22:54.994 contributions in all our daily activities to effective 00:22:54.994 --> 00:22:56.224 climate change response. 00:22:56.824 --> 00:22:57.864 And based on... 00:22:57.884 --> 00:23:02.184 In the perceptions that we are increasingly changing for the better of 00:23:02.184 --> 00:23:06.484 society in general as well as economic fields, production and business sectors, 00:23:06.864 --> 00:23:10.659 They all have activities that effectively integrate change management 00:23:10.659 --> 00:23:11.924 into their operations. 00:23:12.324 --> 00:23:17.395 And especially recently, companies and businesses are also promoting what 00:23:17.395 --> 00:23:20.944 people call corporate responsibility to the community. 00:23:21.264 --> 00:23:25.872 Or there are related criteria about the environment, about the society and about 00:23:25.872 --> 00:23:27.644 the governance, ESG for example. 00:23:27.884 --> 00:23:31.789 There are many companies that have adopted these criteria, including those 00:23:31.789 --> 00:23:33.564 related to effective change response. 00:23:33.944 --> 00:23:37.619 They have also integrated it into the production and business process in 00:23:37.619 --> 00:23:38.844 a very systematic way. 00:23:39.284 --> 00:23:42.922 And especially this is increasingly integrated into the supply chain as well 00:23:42.922 --> 00:23:45.044 as the life cycle of any product. 00:23:45.464 --> 00:23:49.370 So these are things that we've been aware of in the process of doing 00:23:49.370 --> 00:23:51.044 greenhouse gas emissions inventories, for example. 00:23:51.044 --> 00:23:55.744 Or we do climate change impact assessments on communities. 00:23:56.244 --> 00:24:00.284 We have seen such a shift in the vulnerability of different communities. 00:24:00.864 --> 00:24:05.819 However, these activities, from the perspective of the world, we still have 00:24:05.819 --> 00:24:07.884 many limitations due to resources. 00:24:08.024 --> 00:24:10.664 Because of that, our Vietnam's technical capacity needs to be further improved. 00:24:11.264 --> 00:24:15.204 Now in the world, as Vice-President Uy Thi An also said, 00:24:15.204 --> 00:24:19.384 then we need to have commitments at the regional as well as international level. 00:24:19.384 --> 00:24:23.864 So we have had and are having the process of implementing it, but there are still difficulties. 00:24:24.044 --> 00:24:27.904 limitations in terms of financial resources as well as human and technical resources. 00:24:28.304 --> 00:24:31.584 So these are the things that we have to gradually solve step by step. 00:24:31.764 --> 00:24:36.084 However, the main solutions, the solutions from policy sources 00:24:36.084 --> 00:24:38.924 as well as the cooperation we have had and continue to have. 00:24:39.952 --> 00:24:45.312 Yes, as Mr. Luong Quang Huy just shared, we will realize the commitments at COP26. 00:24:45.312 --> 00:24:49.212 The Vietnamese Government has issued a national action plan on green growth 00:24:49.212 --> 00:24:50.512 for the 2021-2030 period. 00:24:50.512 --> 00:24:55.112 And the national strategy on climate change response to 2050 00:24:55.112 --> 00:24:58.645 So what is the responsibility of business organizations in implementing 00:24:58.645 --> 00:25:00.412 legal regulations on climate change? 00:25:00.412 --> 00:25:04.572 And what is the net zero net emissions target, especially in terms of greenhouse gas inventories? 00:25:04.572 --> 00:25:07.332 And what are the principles in greenhouse gas inventory? 00:25:07.332 --> 00:25:08.952 First of all, please invite Mr. Luong Quang Huy. 00:25:09.348 --> 00:25:14.143 Yes, first of all, for a developing country like Vietnam, before 2020, at 00:25:14.143 --> 00:25:19.308 the international level, we do not have the responsibility to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 00:25:19.808 --> 00:25:24.758 But after we passed the Paris Agreement in 2015, from 2020 onwards, all 00:25:24.758 --> 00:25:29.328 developing countries like Vietnam have the responsibility to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 00:25:29.328 --> 00:25:36.109 We have anticipated this and in the period from 2015 to 2050 we have 00:25:36.109 --> 00:25:40.468 developed and promulgated the environmental protection law in 2020. 00:25:41.028 --> 00:25:44.152 In which there are very clear and specific regulations on the 00:25:44.152 --> 00:25:47.276 responsibilities of all levels related to greenhouse gas inventory or simply 00:25:47.276 --> 00:25:50.968 put, we must determine the current status of how much we are emitting. 00:25:51.408 --> 00:25:55.317 And for the first time we require an assessment of the current status of 00:25:55.317 --> 00:25:58.668 greenhouse gas emissions or a greenhouse gas inventory at the grassroots level. 00:25:58.668 --> 00:26:03.781 And by 2022, when we have Decree 06 of the Government as well as Regulation 01 00:26:03.781 --> 00:26:08.255 of the Prime Minister, we have issued and there is a group of grassroots 00:26:08.255 --> 00:26:11.450 enterprises that must conduct an inventory of all greenhouses in 00:26:11.450 --> 00:26:13.368 Regulation 01 of the Prime Minister. 00:26:13.988 --> 00:26:18.880 So the greenhouse gas inventory is first of all for us to determine where our 00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:22.468 major greenhouse gas emissions are, from which sectors, from which regions. 00:26:22.468 --> 00:26:28.288 It is very important that we manage the entire greenhouse before we make any decisions. 00:26:28.668 --> 00:26:31.128 Policy on how we reduce measures. 00:26:32.068 --> 00:26:35.388 The second thing is that businesses also want to do this. 00:26:35.728 --> 00:26:39.508 Because we have been hearing the term carbon footprint for quite some time now. 00:26:39.928 --> 00:26:43.185 And businesses always want to reduce that carbon footprint per 00:26:43.185 --> 00:26:44.488 unit of their product. 00:26:44.868 --> 00:26:48.268 Or in other words, reducing the intensity of greenhouse gas emissions per unit of their product. 00:26:48.268 --> 00:26:50.388 Well that's much better for their image. 00:26:50.388 --> 00:26:53.138 As well as increasing the competitiveness of businesses not only 00:26:53.138 --> 00:26:55.888 in the domestic market but also in the world market. 00:26:56.388 --> 00:27:01.257 So those are the first steps that we need to take to implement legal 00:27:01.257 --> 00:27:04.388 regulations related to greenhouse inspection at the grassroots level. 00:27:07.034 --> 00:27:08.614 I want to hear Mrs. Vu Tra's opinion. 00:27:08.722 --> 00:27:14.317 I find that what Mr. Huy said is quite detailed, with enough methods and ways 00:27:14.317 --> 00:27:16.182 to control greenhouse gas emissions. 00:27:16.642 --> 00:27:21.157 But as for me, I would like to say that about policies, documents, decrees and 00:27:21.157 --> 00:27:22.662 circulars, we have almost enough. 00:27:22.962 --> 00:27:26.188 But I really think that perhaps the organization of implementation in 00:27:26.188 --> 00:27:30.002 Vietnam should be examined more carefully to see what the actual situation is. 00:27:30.002 --> 00:27:33.182 For example, now we limit bad emission sources, right? 00:27:33.422 --> 00:27:36.675 Now looking at each industry, I see that the government also mentioned it, all 00:27:36.675 --> 00:27:38.302 the newspapers and industries also mentioned it. 00:27:38.302 --> 00:27:42.505 But I have to say honestly, I still feel that this is a concept that has not 00:27:42.505 --> 00:27:43.742 really penetrated deeply into people. 00:27:44.042 --> 00:27:46.862 Including Vietnamese people, businesses and even police departments. 00:27:47.042 --> 00:27:51.068 So I think that perhaps at this point, perhaps the first step is that we have 00:27:51.068 --> 00:27:53.082 to make all these concepts enter people's hearts. 00:27:53.222 --> 00:27:56.654 That is, for example, what is a green economy, what is bad emissions, 00:27:56.654 --> 00:27:58.502 emissions are basically all of those things. 00:27:58.602 --> 00:28:01.562 I think now that we're talking about phrases it's relatively clear. 00:28:01.562 --> 00:28:04.994 But I think the first thing in an organization to do this is to make sure 00:28:04.994 --> 00:28:06.282 everyone understands all of those concepts. 00:28:06.502 --> 00:28:09.662 But everyone here I'm talking about from management levels down there, that's the first thing. 00:28:09.962 --> 00:28:12.522 They can only do it on Monday, otherwise it's very difficult, that's the first thing. 00:28:12.782 --> 00:28:16.402 Second, I think everyone has already come up with the method for inventory control. 00:28:16.722 --> 00:28:20.351 But now I still haven't seen the model, the Prime Minister's table of the 00:28:20.351 --> 00:28:23.462 Italian Government to see which sector has the most bad emission sources. 00:28:23.462 --> 00:28:25.953 For example, this energy industry, or this forest industry, this forestry 00:28:25.953 --> 00:28:28.898 industry, or this agriculture industry, I think there must be a block diagram, 00:28:28.898 --> 00:28:32.522 then I think it is the new direction, the new specificity of Prime Minister Ý Phủ. 00:28:32.822 --> 00:28:36.242 Then we hope that we achieve the goal as we committed. 00:28:36.322 --> 00:28:40.710 But we still have so many problems, now I see for example this dead energy we 00:28:40.710 --> 00:28:42.082 still have over 30%, right? 00:28:42.382 --> 00:28:43.982 Get coal power still like that, how? 00:28:44.202 --> 00:28:46.042 Or is our agriculture really green agriculture? 00:28:46.042 --> 00:28:48.527 Therefore, I really want the organization to implement all the 00:28:48.527 --> 00:28:51.262 policies, all the policies that the government has issued, the National 00:28:51.262 --> 00:28:54.244 Assembly has issued, the government has issued and the ministries have issued, 00:28:54.244 --> 00:28:58.222 to go into people's hearts and to be implemented specifically in each field, in each field. 00:28:58.422 --> 00:29:02.202 But perhaps taking just the monthly or quarterly government meetings, I think 00:29:02.202 --> 00:29:06.297 this is clearly considered a very big goal because adaptation in this climate 00:29:06.297 --> 00:29:08.502 change is not just for one person. 00:29:08.502 --> 00:29:11.216 So it is a very big problem, it is related to all economic development 00:29:11.216 --> 00:29:12.962 sectors, especially the sustainable development of the country's sea. 00:29:13.082 --> 00:29:14.562 So I let them be. 00:29:14.822 --> 00:29:19.582 But now I see that there are laws, policies, decrees, circulars, etc. 00:29:19.742 --> 00:29:25.153 But when it comes to life, I think it has not yet entered the blood of all 00:29:25.153 --> 00:29:27.382 businesses as well as the general public. 00:29:27.502 --> 00:29:30.602 So I think maybe that's an issue that I think should be raised in the next phase. 00:29:31.045 --> 00:29:35.863 Yes, thank you. The roadmap to achieving climate targets has committed to 00:29:35.863 --> 00:29:40.681 creating legal corridors to help support and promote the business community and 00:29:40.681 --> 00:29:45.098 local industries to take responsibility for reducing stream emissions. Could you 00:29:45.098 --> 00:29:47.105 please outline those legal corridors? 00:29:47.127 --> 00:29:52.187 Your question is exactly the same as the concerns of six doctors Bui Thi An. 00:29:52.187 --> 00:29:56.687 First of all, I want to say that in terms of assessment and determining the 00:29:56.687 --> 00:29:58.487 current status of greenhouse gas inventories. 00:29:58.487 --> 00:30:02.787 Greenhouse gas emissions in Vietnam we have been doing since 1994 until now 00:30:02.787 --> 00:30:05.267 And in recent years we do it every two years. 00:30:05.267 --> 00:30:10.207 And up to this point, we have been and are fully fulfilling our responsibilities. 00:30:10.207 --> 00:30:13.407 Of a country party to a non-UN convention, of Climate Change 00:30:13.407 --> 00:30:15.707 About how to do greenhouse gas inventory 00:30:15.707 --> 00:30:20.767 So at this point in 2024, right now our entire country is emitting 00:30:20.767 --> 00:30:24.049 There are approximately 500 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent 00:30:24.049 --> 00:30:25.507 from all emission sources. 00:30:25.507 --> 00:30:28.907 Of course, the energy industry is the one that emits the most emissions. 00:30:28.907 --> 00:30:33.087 And we also have the calculations and all the numbers. 00:30:33.087 --> 00:30:36.127 How much are the emissions of the sectors that have been and are emitting? 00:30:36.127 --> 00:30:39.907 And on that number, the current ministries and branches have been and are building. 00:30:39.907 --> 00:30:41.927 Sector-specific emission reduction plans 00:30:41.927 --> 00:30:45.687 And we are always supporting businesses. 00:30:45.687 --> 00:30:47.347 In the process of perception 00:30:47.347 --> 00:30:49.687 However, we must also say that 00:30:49.687 --> 00:30:53.707 It is not possible to say that awareness can be as complete as other fields. 00:30:53.707 --> 00:30:56.507 For example, in the environmental field. 00:30:56.507 --> 00:30:59.467 For pollutants, polluted gases 00:30:59.467 --> 00:31:01.587 Then businesses have a much better perception. 00:31:01.587 --> 00:31:04.047 Because we also have a history of about 30 years. 00:31:04.047 --> 00:31:07.527 In the process of implementing environmental protection laws 00:31:07.527 --> 00:31:10.187 From 1994 then 2000 until now 00:31:10.187 --> 00:31:12.687 So for the issue of greenhouse gas inventories 00:31:12.687 --> 00:31:15.267 Then it is either greenhouse gas emissions in general 00:31:15.267 --> 00:31:16.467 Reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions 00:31:16.467 --> 00:31:18.607 Then it is a very new problem for business. 00:31:18.607 --> 00:31:20.227 Well, as I said at the beginning. 00:31:20.227 --> 00:31:22.147 Then the big enterprises, the FDI enterprises 00:31:22.147 --> 00:31:23.387 Then people have better awareness. 00:31:23.387 --> 00:31:28.867 So now all ministries have and are having policies. 00:31:28.867 --> 00:31:32.147 As well as having incentives and training. 00:31:32.147 --> 00:31:34.747 As well as popularizing legal knowledge. 00:31:34.747 --> 00:31:37.327 Give businesses something to understand better 00:31:37.327 --> 00:31:38.847 That their responsibility is to do what 00:31:38.847 --> 00:31:41.527 As well as what they can do about it. 00:31:41.527 --> 00:31:44.507 So one thing that I find very encouraging is 00:31:44.507 --> 00:31:46.987 That every time we go to the local 00:31:46.987 --> 00:31:48.507 As well as business associations. 00:31:48.507 --> 00:31:52.307 It must be said that they are very supportive of our Vietnamese activities. 00:31:52.307 --> 00:31:55.027 In the pursuit of zero net emissions commitments 00:31:55.027 --> 00:31:57.387 And execute the roadmap we have laid out. 00:31:57.387 --> 00:31:59.147 Then be a little more specific. 00:31:59.147 --> 00:32:00.327 For the energy sector, for example. 00:32:00.327 --> 00:32:01.767 Then we just talk about energy transition. 00:32:01.767 --> 00:32:04.627 But to be specific, as Professor An also said. 00:32:04.627 --> 00:32:06.527 We are moving away from fossil fuels. 00:32:06.527 --> 00:32:09.307 Switch to cleaner energies like wind, solar, hydropower 00:32:09.307 --> 00:32:12.947 In fact, in the process of making electrical things, 00:32:12.947 --> 00:32:15.127 We have been shifting that process gradually. 00:32:15.127 --> 00:32:16.627 And now we need to speed up more 00:32:16.627 --> 00:32:18.947 And we also need financial investment sources. 00:32:18.947 --> 00:32:20.687 Technical investment sources as we have also mentioned 00:32:20.687 --> 00:32:23.067 In other matters, such as transportation 00:32:23.067 --> 00:32:24.827 Like construction or waste management 00:32:24.827 --> 00:32:26.167 Or in the industrial process 00:32:26.167 --> 00:32:27.487 For example, cement production. 00:32:27.487 --> 00:32:30.707 We have had and are having very big changes. 00:32:30.707 --> 00:32:32.667 Investment in technology, investment in 00:32:32.667 --> 00:32:34.607 The translations from 00:32:34.607 --> 00:32:36.007 For example, public transport. 00:32:36.007 --> 00:32:38.027 Personal transport, public transport 00:32:38.027 --> 00:32:40.687 Then translate the forms of goods 00:32:40.687 --> 00:32:42.767 And so on, those are the things that are currently 00:32:42.767 --> 00:32:45.007 We have also outlined the main measures. 00:32:45.007 --> 00:32:46.607 In contributing to the national decision 00:32:46.607 --> 00:32:48.707 And it is the country that changes effectively. 00:32:48.707 --> 00:32:51.327 But how far does it go? 00:32:51.327 --> 00:32:52.767 Well it depends a lot. 00:32:52.767 --> 00:32:54.807 Into the business as well as the financial source 00:32:54.807 --> 00:32:56.647 But we must socialize 00:32:56.647 --> 00:32:58.347 But the government cannot do it alone. 00:32:58.347 --> 00:33:00.307 The government did, and the entire political system did. 00:33:00.307 --> 00:33:02.007 As well as society must do 00:33:02.007 --> 00:33:04.307 And we need to have that international cooperation. 00:33:04.307 --> 00:33:06.887 Participate in bilateral and multilateral cooperation 00:33:06.887 --> 00:33:08.607 To mobilize financial resources for 00:33:08.607 --> 00:33:10.687 This activity, then we can achieve 00:33:10.687 --> 00:33:11.747 The goal we set 00:33:12.378 --> 00:33:16.778 Just now in the discussion, you mentioned the 2020 environmental protection law. 00:33:16.778 --> 00:33:19.578 We also want to ask about the environmental protection law 2020 00:33:19.578 --> 00:33:22.798 then is it a boost for us to be more courageous? 00:33:22.798 --> 00:33:27.678 in joining the commitment to net zero emissions by 2050? 00:33:27.802 --> 00:33:33.926 Yes, exactly. As I just shared, right after we passed the Paris Agreement on 00:33:33.926 --> 00:33:40.925 the 2015 exchange rate, we also began to predict that by 2020 we would have to 00:33:40.925 --> 00:33:44.862 manage greenhouse gases, manage greenhouse gas emissions more strictly. 00:33:45.342 --> 00:33:49.057 On that basis, all ministries and sectors recognize that greenhouse gas 00:33:49.057 --> 00:33:53.110 emissions management must be managed from the national level to the sectoral, 00:33:53.110 --> 00:33:54.462 local and institutional levels. 00:33:54.462 --> 00:33:58.782 So those are the views that we have put forward in the environmental protection law. 00:33:59.222 --> 00:34:03.062 For example, in Article 91 on greenhouse gas emission reduction, we have set out 00:34:03.062 --> 00:34:05.530 very clear regulations on responsibilities from the national level 00:34:05.530 --> 00:34:08.822 to the sectoral level and the grassroots level for greenhouse gas inventory. 00:34:09.342 --> 00:34:13.175 implementing plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and implementing measures 00:34:13.175 --> 00:34:16.242 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at all levels. 00:34:16.722 --> 00:34:21.002 And these regulations are clearly detailed in Decree 06 of 2022. 00:34:21.002 --> 00:34:25.778 However, we also have to regularly update those things and as Professor An 00:34:25.778 --> 00:34:30.922 said, we have to realize them in practice, in daily production and business activities. 00:34:31.382 --> 00:34:35.502 And now that has been and is being transformed in a relatively positive way at this point. 00:34:36.145 --> 00:34:40.374 Yes, Ms. An, how do you evaluate the effectiveness of environmental 00:34:40.374 --> 00:34:43.065 protection laws in responding to climate change? 00:34:43.570 --> 00:34:48.344 I see that the network in environmental law is now effective and has begun to 00:34:48.344 --> 00:34:50.890 enter life, some provisions have already entered life. 00:34:51.250 --> 00:34:55.825 In this network, I think that requiring businesses to implement a circular 00:34:55.825 --> 00:35:00.019 economy is also a very effective solution in responding to economic 00:35:00.019 --> 00:35:03.450 changes, reducing emissions with all output materials coming in. 00:35:03.450 --> 00:35:08.698 So that is a solution that I think is both scientific and 00:35:08.698 --> 00:35:10.010 economic for businesses. 00:35:10.010 --> 00:35:13.549 Because I think for businesses, it is obvious that they must make a 00:35:13.549 --> 00:35:14.910 profit to survive and develop. 00:35:15.210 --> 00:35:18.230 Then this is also what I think is a very fundamental solution. 00:35:18.550 --> 00:35:22.949 As for other things, propaganda about sanctions is fine, etc., but I think 00:35:22.949 --> 00:35:26.670 requiring all businesses to implement a circular economy is a solution. 00:35:26.670 --> 00:35:29.090 For me, I think that is a very fundamental thing. 00:35:29.090 --> 00:35:32.985 If we create favorable conditions in terms of policies and mechanisms, Mr. 00:35:32.985 --> 00:35:37.852 Huy, so that we can support businesses that do this well, I think one bullet 00:35:37.852 --> 00:35:39.150 can shoot several times. 00:35:39.450 --> 00:35:42.740 That is, to let businesses develop while reducing the gas to make the environment 00:35:42.740 --> 00:35:46.030 clean and businesses become rich, and when businesses are rich, the country becomes rich. 00:35:46.030 --> 00:35:48.630 Of course it must be synchronized as Mr. Huy said. 00:35:48.630 --> 00:35:52.987 It must be all sectors from agriculture to forestry to heat to electricity and 00:35:52.987 --> 00:35:57.343 so on to saving electricity and the whole system. Our opinion is that it 00:35:57.343 --> 00:35:59.210 must depend on each specific condition. 00:35:59.210 --> 00:36:02.450 For our country, in the recent period, we have overcome extremely difficult 00:36:02.450 --> 00:36:05.960 economic periods, we have to overcome them so that businesses can survive, and 00:36:05.960 --> 00:36:10.010 in this period, I think we should focus on creating conditions for them with all 00:36:10.010 --> 00:36:12.170 policies for them to implement a circular economy. 00:36:12.170 --> 00:36:15.245 For those things I think that is one thing and all the others are still 00:36:15.245 --> 00:36:17.910 necessary but in my opinion that is the main thing for business now. 00:36:19.133 --> 00:36:22.093 Recently, Mr. Luong Quang Huy also mentioned the energy industry. 00:36:22.473 --> 00:36:25.513 It can be said that energy is considered the most important key industry. 00:36:25.513 --> 00:36:28.793 and need to mobilize the most resources to implement mitigation solutions. 00:36:28.793 --> 00:36:31.193 aiming for net zero emissions by 2050. 00:36:31.713 --> 00:36:33.713 This is considered a big challenge for Vietnam. 00:36:33.713 --> 00:36:37.593 and requires careful calculation to ensure national energy security. 00:36:37.593 --> 00:36:39.553 meet the requirements of socio-economic development. 00:36:39.953 --> 00:36:43.553 How do you assess the need for us to respond to climate change? 00:36:43.553 --> 00:36:46.253 special attention to the energy sector? 00:36:46.910 --> 00:36:50.030 Well, we've talked about a lot of things from the beginning. 00:36:50.030 --> 00:36:52.310 related to energy transition in response to climate change. 00:36:52.750 --> 00:36:55.510 It must be said that it is absolutely correct that it is the energy transfer. 00:36:55.510 --> 00:36:59.750 It is perhaps the most important of all climate change response efforts. 00:36:59.750 --> 00:37:03.570 in general and reducing greenhouse gas emissions to achieve zero aviation emissions in particular. 00:37:04.230 --> 00:37:08.050 Professor An mentioned from the beginning that we have recently 00:37:08.050 --> 00:37:11.290 then the Prime Minister's decision 500 to plan the 8th power plant. 00:37:11.810 --> 00:37:15.610 And in this power planning 8, we have also calculated 00:37:15.610 --> 00:37:18.990 as well as to put forward projects in the plan. 00:37:18.990 --> 00:37:22.750 to meet the aviation emissions target by 2050. 00:37:23.650 --> 00:37:27.270 And personally, I was not one of the people directly involved in that process. 00:37:27.270 --> 00:37:29.950 Because that work belongs to the energy field of the industrialist. 00:37:30.470 --> 00:37:32.310 But through the colleague we knew that 00:37:32.310 --> 00:37:36.650 I must say that they also have a hard time calculating how. 00:37:36.650 --> 00:37:40.770 to make it fit ensures both criteria that we have to develop sustainable energy 00:37:40.770 --> 00:37:45.070 ensure energy security while achieving zero air emissions. 00:37:45.070 --> 00:37:48.570 So up to this point when we get into the practice 00:37:48.570 --> 00:37:53.450 It has also been found that what we have put forth on the eighth power is correct. 00:37:53.610 --> 00:37:58.470 Because it is absolutely vital to invest in the energy transition. 00:37:58.470 --> 00:38:01.750 from fossil fuels to clean energy, green energy 00:38:01.750 --> 00:38:04.770 then it is the government's responsibility in terms of policy 00:38:04.770 --> 00:38:06.430 as well as the implementation of businesses. 00:38:06.910 --> 00:38:10.590 And in the recent past, when we were the focal point 00:38:10.590 --> 00:38:14.910 about that ZP just energy transition partner 00:38:15.070 --> 00:38:17.650 We have also seen that many businesses 00:38:17.650 --> 00:38:21.490 including banks, investment enterprises, both domestic and foreign 00:38:21.490 --> 00:38:24.770 all propose energy transition projects, 00:38:24.970 --> 00:38:27.550 all projects on clean energy, wind power, solar power 00:38:27.550 --> 00:38:31.910 very rich and it must be said that Vietnam has a lot of that potential. 00:38:32.290 --> 00:38:35.630 So that's what we see is maybe it's going to be a bright spot. 00:38:35.630 --> 00:38:37.610 in the matter of dealing with climate change in general 00:38:37.610 --> 00:38:40.650 as well as the energy transition in particular of Vietnam in the coming time. 00:38:42.031 --> 00:38:43.691 I want to hear more opinions from Ms. Quy Thi An. 00:38:43.769 --> 00:38:47.429 Yes, the energy issue is the energy security issue is national security. 00:38:47.429 --> 00:38:50.569 Because in that, national security is understood to mean providing enough electricity for all industries. 00:38:50.569 --> 00:38:52.689 But it provides clean energy. 00:38:52.689 --> 00:38:54.669 That's where it emphasizes security. 00:38:54.669 --> 00:38:57.229 Then say the last stage as I said again 00:38:57.229 --> 00:38:59.369 That is the planning that the government eats the electricity planning 8. 00:38:59.369 --> 00:39:03.049 That's a very, I call it a breakthrough step. 00:39:03.049 --> 00:39:04.989 In the transition from power planning 7 to 00:39:04.989 --> 00:39:07.249 Power planning 7 must be said in the process of taking 00:39:07.249 --> 00:39:09.969 It shows that if as Mr. Huy said 00:39:14.329 --> 00:39:16.069 But I must say that I think I understand that. 00:39:16.069 --> 00:39:18.069 It is a process that the government is very determined to do. 00:39:18.069 --> 00:39:21.009 Determined to overcome many, many things 00:39:21.009 --> 00:39:22.329 Then it turns out to be the 8th power plan. 00:39:22.329 --> 00:39:24.409 I must say that scientists and workers are very happy. 00:39:24.409 --> 00:39:25.729 When accepting the power plan 8 00:39:25.729 --> 00:39:28.029 But it must be said that there are many challenges. 00:39:28.769 --> 00:39:29.889 Now I say example now 00:39:29.889 --> 00:39:32.509 It is written very clearly and distinctly in there that 00:39:32.509 --> 00:39:35.029 How much does the reduction rate of coal power decrease? 00:39:35.029 --> 00:39:37.029 And clean energy means 00:39:37.029 --> 00:39:39.089 How much does renewable energy increase? 00:39:39.089 --> 00:39:40.609 What year is it specific? 00:39:40.609 --> 00:39:43.129 But I have to say now the problem is to invest in it. 00:39:43.129 --> 00:39:45.629 It will require a huge financial potential. 00:39:45.629 --> 00:39:47.069 And now how many problems? 00:39:47.069 --> 00:39:48.709 Solar power 5 way then now 00:39:48.709 --> 00:39:51.009 How to install, how much capacity 00:39:51.009 --> 00:39:52.649 Mount on machine or mount on floor 00:39:52.649 --> 00:39:54.109 How the lines below convey 00:39:54.109 --> 00:39:55.989 Acceptance means a whole host of problems. 00:39:55.989 --> 00:39:58.869 This is related to the macro level of the country. 00:39:58.869 --> 00:40:00.949 Then I think the government is worried. 00:40:00.949 --> 00:40:03.049 And I think if not we will be back 00:40:03.049 --> 00:40:04.349 Not achieving the goals we wanted 00:40:04.349 --> 00:40:06.509 As before we also always go out and shout 00:40:06.509 --> 00:40:07.949 We are wind power, solar power 00:40:07.949 --> 00:40:10.489 As for many years almost the same rate of wind power 00:40:10.489 --> 00:40:12.789 And solar power implemented in Vietnam is very weak. 00:40:12.789 --> 00:40:15.049 Let me think that the power planning 8 is here. 00:40:15.049 --> 00:40:17.029 Then I want that I hope that 00:40:17.029 --> 00:40:18.829 The government gives very specific instructions. 00:40:18.829 --> 00:40:20.569 To strictly follow a rule 00:40:20.569 --> 00:40:22.969 That power plan 8, if implemented seriously 00:40:22.969 --> 00:40:24.969 Then I think it's a very good step forward. 00:40:24.969 --> 00:40:26.609 And will contribute greatly to the story that is 00:40:26.609 --> 00:40:29.189 Responding to and limiting climate change 00:40:29.849 --> 00:40:32.789 But I think on paper it is enough. 00:40:32.789 --> 00:40:33.929 Now what exactly will it be like? 00:40:33.929 --> 00:40:36.189 Where and how to develop wind power 00:40:36.189 --> 00:40:37.989 And if there is support, what kind of support? 00:40:37.989 --> 00:40:39.509 Technology support, tax support 00:40:39.509 --> 00:40:41.389 That means it has to be very specific and detailed. 00:40:41.389 --> 00:40:43.409 Otherwise I find it very difficult. 00:40:43.409 --> 00:40:46.529 All of those people are also facing a huge challenge. 00:40:46.529 --> 00:40:48.309 Even though they really want to do clean energy 00:40:48.309 --> 00:40:50.149 But the big problem is the problem now. 00:40:50.149 --> 00:40:52.109 It is not allowed to flood capital. 00:40:52.109 --> 00:40:53.989 Cannot be done, if the business is flooded then 00:40:53.989 --> 00:40:55.789 No one went in, so I assumed. 00:40:55.789 --> 00:40:58.169 Here I really want it to be specific. 00:40:58.169 --> 00:40:59.709 It was detailed and said things. 00:40:59.709 --> 00:41:01.789 And piece by piece, whose responsibility is it? 00:41:01.789 --> 00:41:03.449 It should be clear, otherwise I think 00:41:03.449 --> 00:41:05.869 We will not achieve the goals we have 00:41:05.869 --> 00:41:07.609 Recorded in the policy or in 00:41:07.609 --> 00:41:09.709 Specific plans like this are all available. 00:41:09.709 --> 00:41:11.389 Very unfortunate for our Vietnam 00:41:12.809 --> 00:41:18.439 Yes, Mr. Luong Quang Huy, what urgent solutions do we need to implement to 00:41:18.439 --> 00:41:22.863 reduce the level of vulnerability or increase resilience to the impacts 00:41:22.863 --> 00:41:24.069 of climate change? 00:41:24.740 --> 00:41:30.246 Yes, for the impact of climate change on communities, something that we have been 00:41:30.246 --> 00:41:34.180 doing all along that we have been very aware of. 00:41:34.180 --> 00:41:39.227 The impact of climate change on Vietnam is to increase adaptation, increase the 00:41:39.227 --> 00:41:40.780 adaptive capacity of communities. 00:41:41.480 --> 00:41:46.019 And this is the first thing we have been doing and regularly updating, which is 00:41:46.019 --> 00:41:48.440 assessing and building climate change scenarios for Vietnam. 00:41:48.440 --> 00:41:53.160 The second is to assess the impact of climate change on each region and each field. 00:41:53.760 --> 00:41:57.826 There, as Professor An said earlier, we should go down to the district and 00:41:57.826 --> 00:42:00.440 commune levels to see how it affects socio-economic life. 00:42:01.180 --> 00:42:04.749 Of course this is not simple because economic, production and business 00:42:04.749 --> 00:42:07.020 activities occur frequently and are always changing. 00:42:07.520 --> 00:42:11.900 And with such change, the impact on communities will also change. 00:42:11.900 --> 00:42:16.622 Therefore, local authorities are always aware that they will have to update 00:42:16.622 --> 00:42:21.345 information and data related to the impacts of climate change on their 00:42:21.345 --> 00:42:24.100 localities and their production and business sectors. 00:42:24.540 --> 00:42:31.806 And based on that, they propose projects and tasks to minimize the impact on the 00:42:31.806 --> 00:42:33.260 social community first. 00:42:33.840 --> 00:42:39.585 And enhance the resilience of social communities as well as the natural 00:42:39.585 --> 00:42:41.500 ecosystems in their areas. 00:42:41.900 --> 00:42:47.172 We do this at the national level, we put forth precise policies and we have had 00:42:47.172 --> 00:42:48.820 that for a long time. 00:42:49.080 --> 00:42:52.766 However, to actually make it effective, it requires the participation of the 00:42:52.766 --> 00:42:56.760 locality, of each locality level from the lowest level, for example, at the 00:42:56.760 --> 00:43:00.140 commune and ward levels, we have already had to do this. 00:43:00.680 --> 00:43:04.100 And this is what we have been doing relatively well up to this point. 00:43:04.560 --> 00:43:11.820 And the thing is that the resilience of social communities in general is... 00:43:11.900 --> 00:43:13.820 There is a sign that I see that there is improvement. 00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:19.340 However, we need to pay more attention to our natural ecosystem. 00:43:19.700 --> 00:43:25.050 This requires not only in the field of climate change but in all other fields, 00:43:25.050 --> 00:43:28.973 they must have concern for the natural ecosystem, which is what 00:43:28.973 --> 00:43:30.400 we commonly call it. 00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:34.635 That's our white paper in the... for climate change impacts, those are 00:43:34.635 --> 00:43:36.020 the things that we... 00:43:36.027 --> 00:43:37.727 Need to do and prioritize in the coming time 00:43:37.727 --> 00:43:40.347 In the last conversation 00:43:40.347 --> 00:43:42.167 We talk a lot about 2 time points 00:43:42.167 --> 00:43:43.747 It is 2030 and 2050 00:43:43.747 --> 00:43:46.407 So, Mr. Luong Quang Huy, can you please tell me? 00:43:46.407 --> 00:43:50.387 Vietnam's response to climate change 00:43:50.387 --> 00:43:52.387 How are these two stages? 00:43:52.463 --> 00:43:58.598 Yes, for the 2030 milestone, this is the first commitment period of the countries 00:43:58.598 --> 00:44:02.103 participating in the UN convention on climate change. 00:44:02.103 --> 00:44:07.393 That is why all countries like Vietnam as well as all countries participating 00:44:07.393 --> 00:44:12.683 in the UNFCCC must pay a contribution to the country from the decision. 00:44:12.683 --> 00:44:14.383 NDC, we call it NDC for short 00:44:14.383 --> 00:44:18.589 In it we set targets both for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and for 00:44:18.589 --> 00:44:19.883 adapting to climate change. 00:44:19.883 --> 00:44:23.203 These are two networks that are extremely important in the process of 00:44:23.203 --> 00:44:24.863 responding to climate change in general. 00:44:24.863 --> 00:44:32.307 From now until 2030, although there is not much time left, in fact we have been 00:44:32.307 --> 00:44:35.563 implementing the commitments in the NDC report. 00:44:35.563 --> 00:44:39.327 And we still have regular annual assessments and reports to the 00:44:39.327 --> 00:44:42.063 secretariat of the UN convention on climate change. 00:44:42.063 --> 00:44:48.243 As for 2050, from 2021 at pod 26 we have committed to 2050. 00:44:48.543 --> 00:44:49.863 Then we have the implementations. 00:44:49.863 --> 00:44:52.803 The implementation of the national climate change strategy to 2050 as I mentioned 00:44:52.803 --> 00:44:55.803 And this one is a longer view. 00:44:55.803 --> 00:45:00.643 It's not just about climate change, it's about everything else. 00:45:00.643 --> 00:45:02.163 For all other areas 00:45:02.163 --> 00:45:07.726 As we can see, many development strategies in various fields are 00:45:07.726 --> 00:45:09.243 oriented towards 2050. 00:45:09.243 --> 00:45:12.723 The same is true of our country's socio-economic development strategy. 00:45:12.723 --> 00:45:15.563 So those are the two whys, the two reasons, the two milestones. 00:45:15.723 --> 00:45:19.563 So those two milestones are two points in time. 00:45:19.863 --> 00:45:23.281 But we have to achieve specific numbers so that we can 00:45:23.281 --> 00:45:24.523 achieve our Vietnam commitment. 00:45:24.523 --> 00:45:25.743 And we have already proposed that. 00:45:25.743 --> 00:45:29.763 And for the 2050 milestone, we have also seen that 00:45:29.763 --> 00:45:33.803 Each stage up to this point is a very high possibility for us to achieve. 00:45:35.131 --> 00:45:39.251 Thank you very much. And to implement the roadmap for climate change 00:45:39.251 --> 00:45:43.371 adaptation in each stage, what technological measures do we need to apply? 00:45:44.851 --> 00:45:48.361 First of all, I think that now the overall technological solution is that 00:45:48.361 --> 00:45:50.791 we should apply high technology as much as possible. 00:45:50.791 --> 00:45:54.871 Well, if the technology is low, it will always pollute the environment, 00:45:54.871 --> 00:45:56.231 that's the whole story. 00:45:56.231 --> 00:46:00.411 But for Vietnam's conditions, which technology should be chosen is the question. 00:46:00.411 --> 00:46:04.571 And I think that maybe one stage at a time, one area at a time should be chosen. 00:46:04.571 --> 00:46:08.571 For example, in agriculture and aquaculture, which technology should be applied? 00:46:08.571 --> 00:46:13.831 How is normal agriculture like growing vegetables or growing rice? I think so. 00:46:13.831 --> 00:46:16.931 Or for all industries, especially processing technology. 00:46:16.931 --> 00:46:20.730 We have to choose, before we thought maybe we should have 00:46:20.730 --> 00:46:22.111 a regulation that limits 00:46:22.111 --> 00:46:25.831 All so-called technology, so-called dirty technology, is not allowed to be imported anymore. 00:46:25.831 --> 00:46:30.151 Then I think we have to choose, we set a high goal but the problem is who evaluates the high, how high? 00:46:30.151 --> 00:46:33.031 For Vietnam, we must impose a penalty. 00:46:33.031 --> 00:46:36.391 But I think like this, besides choosing high technology 00:46:36.391 --> 00:46:39.731 I think Vietnam should apply a solution that I think is from now until 2020. 00:46:39.731 --> 00:46:44.311 That is, the problem is that I see our technology as green technology. 00:46:44.311 --> 00:46:48.531 That is the forest problem, I see now some provinces have sold carbon credits, right? 00:46:48.531 --> 00:46:52.071 That is a win-win situation, which I think Vietnam can do. 00:46:52.071 --> 00:46:57.011 Will prevent flash floods, flash floods, that is, things that limit the consequences. 00:46:57.011 --> 00:47:00.382 And I think it's also good that now we choose to do the technology of 00:47:00.382 --> 00:47:01.731 planting forests and protecting primary forests. 00:47:01.731 --> 00:47:03.431 That is also a technology we need to choose. 00:47:03.431 --> 00:47:06.093 As for me, I think that now, speaking generally about which technology to 00:47:06.093 --> 00:47:08.551 choose, we can only say to choose high technology and clean technology. 00:47:08.551 --> 00:47:11.751 But each field must be chosen separately, it is impossible to speak in general. 00:47:11.751 --> 00:47:14.791 I think maybe but hey, who chooses is a special issue. 00:47:14.791 --> 00:47:18.431 I think maybe the government has to choose, the government chooses, here I say government is general. 00:47:18.431 --> 00:47:20.431 But that means giving the science department something. 00:47:20.431 --> 00:47:22.491 When you stand and approve, you are responsible for that. 00:47:22.491 --> 00:47:27.351 Don't let us import all the waste of the country and the world. 00:47:27.351 --> 00:47:29.591 And even from the machine story too. 00:47:29.591 --> 00:47:32.791 People refurbish, people sell from all fields are not available. 00:47:32.791 --> 00:47:34.351 I think that's the whole point. 00:47:34.351 --> 00:47:38.622 As for this issue, I still think that the policy is correct, but the problem 00:47:38.622 --> 00:47:40.331 is how to implement it properly. 00:47:40.331 --> 00:47:41.971 Well, that's about people. 00:47:41.971 --> 00:47:47.511 But this person is only controlled by us using management agencies, sanctions, and technical standards. 00:47:47.511 --> 00:47:50.971 But if I say in general, I find it very difficult, there is nothing more I can say. 00:47:51.532 --> 00:47:52.972 We also have this question. 00:47:53.978 --> 00:47:58.712 Yes, Professor An said very correctly that we must find technologies suitable 00:47:58.712 --> 00:48:01.078 for the conditions of our Vietnam. 00:48:01.078 --> 00:48:05.398 Both technically and financially as well as the goals we have set out. 00:48:05.398 --> 00:48:08.358 So here are the things that businesses have been doing now. 00:48:08.358 --> 00:48:14.310 And in the coming period when we need to step up the ante to get us 00:48:14.310 --> 00:48:15.798 to zero net emissions 00:48:15.798 --> 00:48:22.838 So all businesses have been looking for the right technology for them. 00:48:22.838 --> 00:48:28.827 Especially for the production and business process because it is directly 00:48:28.827 --> 00:48:32.638 related to the business's benefits and profits. 00:48:32.638 --> 00:48:36.338 I would say that economically they have to do the economic math to make it suitable. 00:48:36.338 --> 00:48:40.618 Well those are the things that are at the level of the facilities. 00:48:41.398 --> 00:48:47.599 And in the process of building policies, of course we always emphasize which 00:48:47.599 --> 00:48:50.938 technologies have the highest level of suitability. 00:48:50.938 --> 00:48:52.638 As well as being most effective 00:48:52.638 --> 00:48:53.878 For our Vietnam 00:48:53.878 --> 00:48:58.971 One thing that Professor An mentioned that I would like to add is 00:48:58.971 --> 00:49:00.538 related to the forest. 00:49:00.538 --> 00:49:04.790 Even though we have sold forest credits in some places, we still have 00:49:04.790 --> 00:49:06.098 to be very careful. 00:49:06.098 --> 00:49:12.273 Because at this moment we are absorbing about 60 million tons of CO2 00:49:12.273 --> 00:49:13.698 equivalent from forests. 00:49:13.698 --> 00:49:17.398 From 17.8 million hectares of forest of our Vietnam 00:49:17.398 --> 00:49:22.378 And the likelihood that we will increase that forest area significantly is not high. 00:49:22.638 --> 00:49:26.178 We are now setting the target in our nationally determined contribution report. 00:49:26.178 --> 00:49:30.349 As well as the national strategy, what we need to do is enrich the 00:49:30.349 --> 00:49:31.838 forest and develop sustainable forests. 00:49:31.838 --> 00:49:36.863 To increase the absorption level is to ensure compensation for greenhouse gas 00:49:36.863 --> 00:49:38.538 emissions from other sectors. 00:49:38.538 --> 00:49:44.738 And by 2050 we will only be allowed to emit around 110 million tons of CO2. 00:49:44.738 --> 00:49:48.983 And we have to increase the absorption level which is the process of 110 00:49:48.983 --> 00:49:50.498 million to 110 million tons. 00:49:50.498 --> 00:49:55.058 And we can only sell the portion that we have contributed to the self-determined nation. 00:49:55.058 --> 00:49:58.638 So that's why I want to say that we have to be very careful. 00:49:58.638 --> 00:50:01.898 In the matter of how much credit we sell 00:50:01.898 --> 00:50:05.598 That is what many businesses are very interested in today. 00:50:05.598 --> 00:50:08.438 As well as because the international demand is so great. 00:50:08.438 --> 00:50:10.198 They also want to buy from us. 00:50:10.198 --> 00:50:15.698 But if we buy everything, we will have nothing left to offset our emissions. 00:50:16.420 --> 00:50:21.760 Thank you Mr. Luong Quang Huy. Ms. Bui The An, is the fact that we are 00:50:21.760 --> 00:50:24.764 gradually switching to green transportation using electric vehicles a 00:50:24.764 --> 00:50:27.100 solution to realize the Net Zero goal? 00:50:27.322 --> 00:50:32.207 Yes, that's right, we're moving from personal transportation, so-called dirty 00:50:32.207 --> 00:50:34.162 transportation, to clean transportation. 00:50:34.162 --> 00:50:38.022 Then I think it is a very good solution for large cities. 00:50:38.022 --> 00:50:40.562 Especially for cities like Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City or Da Nang 00:50:40.562 --> 00:50:43.962 But I think this is a matter of goals we have set for many years. 00:50:43.962 --> 00:50:46.362 But I have to say we haven't done much yet. 00:50:46.362 --> 00:50:49.682 But we have not done as expected because it also has many problems. 00:50:49.682 --> 00:50:52.122 But I think this should be a long-term goal. 00:50:52.122 --> 00:50:55.002 Not just for countries that have already done it 00:50:55.002 --> 00:50:58.802 Vietnam must have the right investment in this matter. 00:50:58.802 --> 00:51:00.222 How to plan, how to develop 00:51:00.222 --> 00:51:03.662 And choose which equipment to give traffic to Vietnamese cities 00:51:03.662 --> 00:51:07.742 To ensure that emissions are no longer released into the environment. 00:51:07.742 --> 00:51:11.382 And ensure convenient transportation for the people and the community. 00:51:11.382 --> 00:51:14.082 Travel, work, do everything without any hindrance. 00:51:14.082 --> 00:51:17.262 But that is a very important solution. 00:51:17.262 --> 00:51:20.062 But it must be very comprehensive, must study in detail. 00:51:20.062 --> 00:51:23.322 Then it is suitable for the needs of the community. 00:51:23.322 --> 00:51:24.942 Then people will respond, then people will go. 00:51:24.942 --> 00:51:26.722 If not, the traffic is very low. 00:51:26.722 --> 00:51:29.342 As before we have given bus booking, ready things 00:51:29.342 --> 00:51:31.482 But very low traffic is a waste. 00:51:31.482 --> 00:51:32.762 So this is a good solution. 00:51:32.762 --> 00:51:35.562 But the problem is how to implement it to achieve this goal. 00:51:35.562 --> 00:51:39.022 Well, I think it's a problem, a process, a roadmap. 00:51:39.022 --> 00:51:41.282 And must be assigned to professionals. 00:51:41.282 --> 00:51:43.302 Even if someone has good management knowledge 00:51:43.302 --> 00:51:45.342 Then I think the city will make sure of this. 00:51:45.342 --> 00:51:46.422 And this is exactly the right solution. 00:51:46.786 --> 00:51:51.286 Yes, what about the climate change side, how is the green river solution evaluated? 00:51:51.566 --> 00:51:53.226 Yes, the solution to the green river is... 00:52:02.092 --> 00:52:06.648 As we also regularly work with our colleagues in the Ministry of Transport 00:52:06.648 --> 00:52:11.205 and as well as in major cities in Vietnam, we have gradually built 00:52:11.205 --> 00:52:15.412 projects and implemented projects that shift from personal transport to public transport. 00:52:15.972 --> 00:52:22.190 As well as what we have seen recently is a trend of switching from fossil fuel 00:52:22.190 --> 00:52:26.077 vehicles to electric vehicles and lower emission vehicles, such as 00:52:26.077 --> 00:52:27.632 electric or hybrid vehicles. 00:52:27.632 --> 00:52:32.362 Those are the solutions that are currently being introduced into the 00:52:32.362 --> 00:52:36.232 lives of each region as well as each community. 00:52:36.712 --> 00:52:40.525 But it needs to have calculations so that it is suitable for the general 00:52:40.525 --> 00:52:44.066 development process as Teacher An also said of our entire Vietnam, in general, 00:52:44.066 --> 00:52:48.152 as well as the process of integration with the world community in particular, in general. 00:52:48.412 --> 00:52:52.589 So those are the things we have to pay attention to in the matter of how to 00:52:52.589 --> 00:52:53.572 develop green transportation appropriately. 00:52:53.948 --> 00:52:58.654 So I would like to add one detail, that is, for public transport, we will only 00:52:58.654 --> 00:53:01.596 achieve the goal of reducing traffic congestion and reducing personal 00:53:01.596 --> 00:53:03.948 vehicles when people voluntarily give them up, right? 00:53:04.228 --> 00:53:07.535 What means of transport go like that, that is, how do we design it, even how 00:53:07.535 --> 00:53:11.048 the bus station is, how to touch the fishbone road, all to make it convenient for what? 00:53:11.268 --> 00:53:14.516 To get the whole community to give up their motorbikes or private cars and 00:53:14.516 --> 00:53:17.068 take the bus, that's the question to ask, but it's effective. 00:53:18.113 --> 00:53:24.133 Thank you very much, both experts. Mr. Luong Quang Huy, how will our energy 00:53:24.133 --> 00:53:27.573 transition promote climate action and sustainable economic growth? 00:53:28.542 --> 00:53:34.402 Yes, the energy transition requires that we have new policies. 00:53:34.402 --> 00:53:38.962 in all aspects of energy transition activities. 00:53:39.502 --> 00:53:43.179 For promoting socio-economic development, it is of course the 00:53:43.179 --> 00:53:45.222 activities that businesses invest in. 00:53:45.222 --> 00:53:51.068 then they will have a supply chain for activities related to 00:53:51.068 --> 00:53:52.662 clean energy development. 00:53:52.662 --> 00:53:57.242 And recently we can also see that Vietnam has been trying. 00:53:57.242 --> 00:54:01.202 build a regional clean energy hub. 00:54:01.822 --> 00:54:04.382 So here it is, if we can do it, 00:54:04.662 --> 00:54:07.502 In the coming time we will promote those activities. 00:54:07.942 --> 00:54:10.642 We have seen that the government's policy is there in this matter. 00:54:11.102 --> 00:54:13.982 Then it will lead to many business sectors, 00:54:14.422 --> 00:54:17.042 Manufacturing industries to serve the energy transition 00:54:17.042 --> 00:54:18.742 from fossil fuel energy to clean energy. 00:54:19.002 --> 00:54:22.642 And that will become the core of an economy. 00:54:22.642 --> 00:54:27.482 So that's what we're gradually shifting our entire economy into today. 00:54:27.482 --> 00:54:30.282 to a green economy, a low-emission economy. 00:54:30.662 --> 00:54:33.262 Well that's what it will support in the business development process, 00:54:33.682 --> 00:54:35.562 overall socio-economic development of the country. 00:54:42.067 --> 00:54:46.187 Why clean energy reinforces the issue of sustainable development? 00:54:46.187 --> 00:54:48.067 Because sustainable development has 3 pillars 00:54:48.067 --> 00:54:52.147 The first pillar is economic, the second is environmental issues, the third is social security. 00:54:52.147 --> 00:54:55.587 So if the energy is clean, it will not cause environmental pollution. 00:54:55.587 --> 00:54:59.747 It makes people first of all healthy, I care about health is no one is sick 00:54:59.747 --> 00:55:02.451 Because if only needed, social security does not guarantee that many people will 00:55:02.451 --> 00:55:04.947 be sick and only one person in the family will be sick. 00:55:04.947 --> 00:55:08.807 It's natural that the economy is down all the time and I think that's extremely important. 00:55:08.807 --> 00:55:13.587 It's simple to say, but if there is clean energy, the environment will be clean. 00:55:13.587 --> 00:55:16.589 A clean environment means a sustainable development of society, healthy people, 00:55:16.589 --> 00:55:18.227 and a different quality of resources. 00:55:18.227 --> 00:55:21.896 But if the environment is polluted, that is, dirty energy, then I think it 00:55:21.896 --> 00:55:23.207 cannot be calculated in money. 00:55:23.207 --> 00:55:27.599 People often say in school we only spend 1 dong to prevent disease, but we can 00:55:27.599 --> 00:55:29.247 help cure disease with 8 dong. 00:55:29.247 --> 00:55:33.107 So I think what Chau Anh Huy said is very important, it is related to that. 00:55:33.107 --> 00:55:36.287 So without clean energy, the country certainly cannot develop sustainably. 00:55:36.287 --> 00:55:39.816 I keep saying that families will get sick, people will get sick, 00:55:39.816 --> 00:55:41.287 hospitals will be overloaded, etc. 00:55:41.287 --> 00:55:45.107 It's at the end of the day I don't know where it will lead so it's related like that. 00:55:45.107 --> 00:55:47.307 So we have to take it from the root, which means clean energy. 00:55:48.065 --> 00:55:53.625 Thank you Associate Professor Dr. Bui Thi An. Mr. Luong Quang Huy, how should 00:55:53.625 --> 00:55:58.390 we build and perfect the legal policy mechanisms on climate change and 00:55:58.390 --> 00:56:03.156 national standards and regulations in line with the goal of achieving zero 00:56:03.156 --> 00:56:04.745 net emissions by 2050? 00:56:05.429 --> 00:56:10.139 We have been doing this. For our field, right from the 2020 environmental 00:56:10.139 --> 00:56:14.848 protection law as well as the decrees and circulars guiding it have been 00:56:14.848 --> 00:56:18.833 gradually being completed, as well as the ministries managing the field, 00:56:18.833 --> 00:56:22.456 especially those managing the fields with high emission reduction potential, 00:56:22.456 --> 00:56:24.629 they have been and are implementing. 00:56:24.629 --> 00:56:28.300 For example, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Transport, 00:56:28.300 --> 00:56:31.359 the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural 00:56:31.359 --> 00:56:34.418 Development, and the Ministry of Environmental Research. Those are the 00:56:34.418 --> 00:56:38.701 activities that we have been doing. In addition, we also have to put new 00:56:38.701 --> 00:56:42.065 standards and regulations into practice in the process of our transition 00:56:42.065 --> 00:56:43.289 to a green economy. 00:56:43.529 --> 00:56:49.552 So we can see that in the community, people have seen that there are many 00:56:49.552 --> 00:56:53.969 green projects that serve daily activities and daily lives of people. 00:56:53.969 --> 00:56:57.560 For example, green urban areas, green transportation as we just mentioned. 00:56:57.560 --> 00:57:02.130 Those are the things we have been doing. So these standards and regulations have 00:57:02.130 --> 00:57:04.089 different foundations of international and Vietnamese. 00:57:04.089 --> 00:57:08.466 Then we have to choose the platforms that are suitable for us. Both 00:57:08.466 --> 00:57:12.842 technically and financially for us to apply. And gradually we will raise those 00:57:12.842 --> 00:57:17.219 standards in life to both raise the living standards of people in our 00:57:17.219 --> 00:57:21.596 society as well as achieve the goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the 00:57:21.596 --> 00:57:24.289 environment, and our society that we have set. 00:57:25.484 --> 00:57:29.384 Yes, for developed countries, climate finance is not a new issue. 00:57:29.384 --> 00:57:33.184 However, this is really a challenge for developing countries like Vietnam. 00:57:33.184 --> 00:57:37.523 According to experts, mobilizing climate resources for developing countries is 00:57:37.523 --> 00:57:38.824 actually quite difficult. 00:57:38.824 --> 00:57:42.562 In recent times, most investment resources and economic attention have 00:57:42.562 --> 00:57:44.804 focused on greenhouse gas emission reduction. 00:57:44.804 --> 00:57:48.629 More than just investing in technology, cutting processes or 00:57:48.629 --> 00:57:49.904 changing input sources 00:57:49.904 --> 00:57:54.124 However, recently many experts and scientific conferences have also mentioned this more. 00:57:54.124 --> 00:57:57.224 To increase investment in climate change adaptation 00:57:57.224 --> 00:58:01.316 According to Mr. Luong Phong Huy's assessment, is this the 00:58:01.316 --> 00:58:02.544 appropriate trend today? 00:58:03.031 --> 00:58:05.791 I think this is the most appropriate direction at this time. 00:58:05.791 --> 00:58:08.883 Because first of all, we have already talked about the international trend 00:58:08.883 --> 00:58:10.171 in the energy transition process. 00:58:10.751 --> 00:58:15.198 The energy transition and the transition we make from fossil fuels 00:58:15.198 --> 00:58:16.411 to cleaner fuels 00:58:16.411 --> 00:58:20.951 At the very beginning when we invest it requires a huge amount of financial resources. 00:58:21.631 --> 00:58:27.251 However, economists and policymakers have been calculating 00:58:27.251 --> 00:58:30.091 and see that it is the thing that we invest so much 00:58:30.091 --> 00:58:35.231 It will be very economical in the long run. 00:58:36.051 --> 00:58:39.671 We cannot count on a few years, we have to count on even decades and even centuries. 00:58:40.191 --> 00:58:44.361 So those are the things that we need to look at more deeply and 00:58:44.361 --> 00:58:45.851 fundamentally in the coming time. 00:58:46.231 --> 00:58:49.431 It's not just that we're investing too much at this point. 00:58:49.431 --> 00:58:53.951 but we also have to consider to serve other things. 00:58:54.031 --> 00:58:58.558 So those are the things, and the second thing is that this is 00:58:58.558 --> 00:58:59.951 beneficial to the business. 00:59:01.171 --> 00:59:07.166 First is the business has money that business to invest in is not us 00:59:07.166 --> 00:59:08.451 also is lost. 00:59:08.671 --> 00:59:10.571 But it can be mobilized from many different sources. 00:59:11.011 --> 00:59:13.871 And in turn it will benefit business and society. 00:59:14.031 --> 00:59:17.494 So those are the things that we have to have a better awareness of 00:59:17.494 --> 00:59:18.731 for business and for society. 00:59:18.731 --> 00:59:23.021 in this initial investment towards a greener economy, a 00:59:23.021 --> 00:59:24.451 greener energy transition. 00:59:25.451 --> 00:59:27.371 Does Mrs. Bui Thi An agree with the current opinions? 00:59:32.418 --> 00:59:34.918 Because there are always so many solutions that you have to choose the original solution. 00:59:34.918 --> 00:59:37.238 But if we take an example to compare 00:59:37.238 --> 00:59:39.258 A bunch of silk it is lying 00:59:39.258 --> 00:59:41.298 Then people must withdraw what can be withdrawn and removed. 00:59:41.298 --> 00:59:43.418 There is no additional lie so this is the root problem. 00:59:43.418 --> 00:59:45.078 But now I also agree with the opinion. 00:59:45.078 --> 00:59:46.098 One must be suitable. 00:59:46.098 --> 00:59:47.758 How suitable for Vietnam conditions 00:59:47.758 --> 00:59:51.378 This I think is the responsibility of the managers. 00:59:51.378 --> 00:59:53.758 We have to calculate what we choose and how we choose. 00:59:53.758 --> 00:59:55.738 So we can go the long way 00:59:55.738 --> 00:59:58.658 But if we calculate short term it is not possible. 00:59:58.658 --> 00:59:59.918 But the problem is to be suitable. 00:59:59.918 --> 01:00:01.838 If you can't give an example of a poor family, how can you calculate it? 01:00:01.838 --> 01:00:02.958 How to eat this meal 01:00:02.958 --> 01:00:04.618 But if we stay for a while 01:00:04.618 --> 01:00:07.398 When we demand everything to be in sync it is a bit difficult. 01:00:07.398 --> 01:00:08.538 So what should we choose? 01:00:08.538 --> 01:00:11.758 But this depends on the leader, the manager. 01:00:11.758 --> 01:00:13.778 Do you know what is the most important thing? 01:00:14.318 --> 01:00:16.578 Second, I see in the process of working with international 01:00:16.578 --> 01:00:18.798 Then I see even from the president 01:00:18.798 --> 01:00:20.878 Come is special prime minister 01:00:20.878 --> 01:00:22.898 Always ask, this is the problem in the candidate 01:00:22.898 --> 01:00:25.458 Say it is asking for international support. 01:00:25.458 --> 01:00:26.958 And I give is a big deal 01:00:26.958 --> 01:00:28.938 If they support, they will benefit. 01:00:28.938 --> 01:00:30.378 What about the third one I agree with? 01:00:30.378 --> 01:00:33.338 We find solutions to help their businesses grow. 01:00:33.338 --> 01:00:35.278 Then I give one thing that they want to develop. 01:00:35.278 --> 01:00:36.718 They have to sell the product. 01:00:36.718 --> 01:00:38.898 But their products must be suitable to sell. 01:00:39.718 --> 01:00:42.398 Well, I think this is done properly and seriously. 01:00:42.398 --> 01:00:44.758 Of course, everyone must be self-aware and comply. 01:00:44.758 --> 01:00:46.078 There is no way to go back. 01:00:46.078 --> 01:00:47.918 So I think it is synchronous. 01:00:48.858 --> 01:00:52.698 This is what I emphasize again is the responsibility of leaders and managers. 01:00:52.698 --> 01:00:54.358 How to choose the right one 01:00:54.358 --> 01:00:55.418 Even each locality 01:00:55.418 --> 01:00:57.398 If you choose wrong, it is your responsibility. 01:00:57.398 --> 01:00:59.058 But now it can not be changed for the people. 01:00:59.058 --> 01:01:00.718 People must say they just follow. 01:01:00.718 --> 01:01:03.158 So it is your responsibility, comrades, to have foresight. 01:01:03.158 --> 01:01:04.498 You guys go abroad to study a lot. 01:01:04.498 --> 01:01:07.058 You comrades learn a lot, you comrades must choose correctly. 01:01:07.058 --> 01:01:08.458 So that this cannot be evaluated 01:01:08.458 --> 01:01:10.818 But in 1 year, 2 years, 10 years, the people will turn around and attack. 01:01:10.818 --> 01:01:12.618 He chose right, did she choose right? 01:01:12.618 --> 01:01:14.478 Then I think that is the appropriate issue. 01:01:14.478 --> 01:01:15.938 But this cannot be said in general. 01:01:15.938 --> 01:01:18.338 Nam Dinh is different, Ha Tinh is different, Ha Giang is different 01:01:18.338 --> 01:01:20.158 So this is suitable. 01:01:20.158 --> 01:01:21.878 To speak very generally, very specifically 01:01:21.878 --> 01:01:25.058 So this is all I can say. 01:01:25.058 --> 01:01:26.518 That is the people's wish. 01:01:26.518 --> 01:01:28.058 For managers, leaders 01:01:28.058 --> 01:01:30.418 Especially at this time of climate change response. 01:01:30.418 --> 01:01:32.218 Don't let it be natural. 01:01:32.218 --> 01:01:33.778 Quiet night, flash flood 01:01:33.778 --> 01:01:35.738 Some people died, I say for example. 01:01:35.738 --> 01:01:37.218 That is so painful 01:01:37.218 --> 01:01:40.318 But we can do it, we can stop it. 01:01:41.073 --> 01:01:45.974 Thank you, Ms. Thi An. Another issue is the development of green classification 01:01:45.974 --> 01:01:48.613 criteria to help businesses access capital faster. 01:01:49.013 --> 01:01:51.626 Currently, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment has submitted 01:01:51.626 --> 01:01:54.500 to the government a draft decision on promulgating environmental criteria and 01:01:54.500 --> 01:01:57.113 certification for projects granted green credit and issuing green bonds. 01:01:57.553 --> 01:02:01.040 How does this contribute to the realization of Vietnam's emission 01:02:01.040 --> 01:02:03.133 reduction target, Mr. Luong Quang Huyet? 01:02:03.483 --> 01:02:06.223 Well, as we mentioned at the beginning, 01:02:06.483 --> 01:02:11.203 Nowadays, businesses have to when they want to borrow capital from banks. 01:02:11.203 --> 01:02:14.323 As well as the employing organizations, they must meet certain criteria. 01:02:14.743 --> 01:02:17.443 With the criteria we are currently presenting, 01:02:17.583 --> 01:02:20.643 Prime Minister, it will support not only businesses, 01:02:21.023 --> 01:02:23.303 but also the organizations that apply it, have a platform, 01:02:23.303 --> 01:02:29.383 There is a set of criteria that they can apply in the lending or borrowing process. 01:02:29.843 --> 01:02:33.423 Those are the things that they are doing a lot in the world now. 01:02:33.803 --> 01:02:37.863 So in Vietnam today, when that process is put into practice, 01:02:38.203 --> 01:02:41.083 then business operations will become much greener, 01:02:41.463 --> 01:02:43.243 because it will be tied to the profit sources, 01:02:43.623 --> 01:02:45.903 closely linked to the production and business process of each enterprise. 01:02:46.283 --> 01:02:50.043 So that's what we want it to be an economic tool, 01:02:50.263 --> 01:02:53.443 It comes from the tools, from the criterion which is policy, 01:02:53.583 --> 01:02:56.243 but it will hit directly into the economic operation of the business. 01:02:56.243 --> 01:02:59.103 to move towards a greener business operation. 01:02:59.795 --> 01:03:07.472 Yes, after nearly an hour of discussion, we have shared many issues surrounding 01:03:07.472 --> 01:03:11.015 emissions reduction or energy conversion goals. 01:03:11.395 --> 01:03:15.373 Ms. Bui Thi An, can you suggest some solutions, what fundamental solutions 01:03:15.373 --> 01:03:20.015 can we implement to achieve the goal of reducing net zero emissions by 2050? 01:03:20.669 --> 01:03:25.100 First of all, I think there are probably a few solutions. The first solution is 01:03:25.100 --> 01:03:28.349 about policy mechanisms and laws. We should review everything, including the 01:03:28.349 --> 01:03:31.303 laws, even the newly issued environmental protection law. But also 01:03:31.303 --> 01:03:35.734 see if there are any things that are not quite suitable for this climate change 01:03:35.734 --> 01:03:39.869 issue or fake emissions. Then I think we should be brave and make corrections. 01:03:39.869 --> 01:03:43.748 That is the first thing about the law, about the mechanism, the first thing is 01:03:43.748 --> 01:03:48.145 about the law, or about the mechanism, I still want to say that if people want to 01:03:48.145 --> 01:03:51.766 achieve the goal of zero net emissions by 2020, they must create conditions for 01:03:51.766 --> 01:03:54.610 the community, for society, for Vietnam, including businesses and people, to 01:03:54.610 --> 01:03:58.231 achieve that goal, then there must be a mechanism to make it suitable, to 01:03:58.231 --> 01:04:02.110 encourage them, to let them do that, but if there is no incentive mechanism, then 01:04:02.110 --> 01:04:05.473 surely businesses will be helpless, and if businesses are helpless, no one can 01:04:05.473 --> 01:04:09.869 do that, as well as the community, so I, first is the law, second is the mechanism. 01:04:09.869 --> 01:04:13.722 This is still the same, that is, the problem of propaganda, the problem of 01:04:13.722 --> 01:04:17.300 how people fully perceive, this is the responsibility of the whole, but the 01:04:17.300 --> 01:04:21.153 responsibility of the whole, the benefit of the whole, the benefit of the whole, 01:04:21.153 --> 01:04:25.282 then I think that only those three things are for the whole, but I still 01:04:25.282 --> 01:04:28.585 think that the responsibility of the organizers, that is, the managers, must 01:04:28.585 --> 01:04:32.438 be very specific, detailing each stage, one by one, so that anyone who is 01:04:32.438 --> 01:04:35.741 special is transparent in all processes, in the problem of implementing this 01:04:35.741 --> 01:04:38.493 change, fighting against this climate change, I see for example 01:04:38.493 --> 01:04:39.869 that it is public, n 01:04:39.869 --> 01:04:43.869 not good, where there is still a lot of electricity, where there is not good, I 01:04:43.869 --> 01:04:47.369 think it is public and who is responsible, I think that is a very 01:04:47.369 --> 01:04:50.869 effective solution for Vietnam, I have learned from all the other things, I see 01:04:50.869 --> 01:04:54.619 the policy is very correct, but in the end why are there localities that do 01:04:54.619 --> 01:04:58.369 very well, localities that do not do well, so or even in a locality, this 01:04:58.369 --> 01:05:01.619 district can do well, so this is a matter of public goods, transparency, 01:05:01.619 --> 01:05:03.619 including the implementation process, the implementation organization process, 01:05:03.619 --> 01:05:07.119 as well as the process of having results, so now, comrade Luong Quang Huy 01:05:07.119 --> 01:05:09.869 said the problem is standards, green, I see it is correct 01:05:09.869 --> 01:05:13.480 To properly evaluate the greening standard, I would like to say that this 01:05:13.480 --> 01:05:17.091 is not very relevant, many of the standards we use to evaluate businesses 01:05:17.091 --> 01:05:21.814 are just a few days later, the business is even in trouble with the law, so in 01:05:21.814 --> 01:05:24.869 that evaluation process, the standards can be issued correctly, who is 01:05:24.869 --> 01:05:27.925 responsible for that evaluation, for example, the Ministry of the Party 01:05:27.925 --> 01:05:31.814 Committee or something, I think this is the problem, I still emphasize that it 01:05:31.814 --> 01:05:35.147 is a problem of organization and implementation, but it becomes a problem 01:05:35.147 --> 01:05:39.869 of people, so I think we should assign specific responsibilities to each field, especially in the field. 01:05:39.869 --> 01:05:42.260 take exact responsibility to the government, to the party, to the 01:05:42.260 --> 01:05:45.304 national assembly about this matter, if it is good, you comrades will accept it, 01:05:45.304 --> 01:05:48.782 if it is good, you will continue to appoint him, if not, then there will be 01:05:48.782 --> 01:05:51.608 disciplinary action, there is nothing to discuss, it must be clear like that, 01:05:51.608 --> 01:05:55.304 otherwise I think if it is just general, then in the end it will be very general 01:05:55.304 --> 01:05:59.217 and in the end we will not be able to reduce emissions as we wish, which is to 01:05:59.217 --> 01:06:02.043 zero, but I think this is a national entity, this is an international 01:06:02.043 --> 01:06:05.304 commitment, this is a national entity, so I think we all have to be determined 01:06:05.304 --> 01:06:08.347 by all means, make efforts, and use all solutions to make this happen, because 01:06:08.347 --> 01:06:09.869 this is the national entity of Vietnam. 01:06:09.869 --> 01:06:12.784 It's a big international issue so I think I also suggest that the government 01:06:12.784 --> 01:06:16.949 must do this at all costs, it's not just about saying it to make it sound good and that's it. 01:06:17.873 --> 01:06:19.193 Yes, what about Mr. Luong Quang Huy? 01:06:19.273 --> 01:06:22.617 What solutions has the Climate Change Department proposed for us to 01:06:22.617 --> 01:06:23.833 achieve this 2050 target? 01:06:23.932 --> 01:06:27.292 And as Professor An just said, we completely agree. 01:06:27.592 --> 01:06:31.050 And all of these key solutions are included in the documents we 01:06:31.050 --> 01:06:32.492 propose and advise the government. 01:06:32.992 --> 01:06:34.752 Well, I would like to add one more thing, 01:06:34.852 --> 01:06:39.025 That is, we need to have international integration to participate in bilateral 01:06:39.025 --> 01:06:41.112 and multilateral cooperation and promote that. 01:06:41.472 --> 01:06:43.552 Because now we have also made international commitments, 01:06:43.552 --> 01:06:48.982 and there are also many national organizations as well as communities and 01:06:48.982 --> 01:06:50.792 regions around the world. 01:06:50.792 --> 01:06:53.812 then all want to achieve common goals like this. 01:06:54.252 --> 01:06:57.812 And such cooperation is only good for our Vietnam. 01:06:58.172 --> 01:07:02.152 Then we are not only mobilizing financial and technical resources, 01:07:02.332 --> 01:07:07.047 but also activities that complement other areas in which we are currently 01:07:07.047 --> 01:07:09.012 integrating with the international community. 01:08:09.038 --> 01:08:12.392 Once again on behalf of the organizing committee, we would like to sincerely 01:08:12.392 --> 01:08:14.198 thank the guests for attending today's discussion.
