Making Vietnamese cities sustainable and productive through green growth policies

This chapter gives a special focus on Viet Nam’s endeavour to foster green growth in urban areas. It begins by a short introduction highlighting Viet Nam’s urgent needs for strengthening urban green growth policies. It then analyses national policy frameworks in the areas of green growth and climate change along with a selection of related sectoral policies in Viet Nam. The chapter also assesses governance structures for urban green growth policies, demonstrating how urban green growth could be implemented more effectively, through a cooperative and coordinated approach as well as improved monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) systems.
