Background of VGGS National context In 2004, Vietnam approved the Viet Nam Agenda 21 and established the National Sustainable Development Council; In 2008, Viet Nam initiated its climate change response: Initially centered around NTP-RCC and started with the development of provincial and sectoral action plans; In 2011, the GOV initiated the development of a climate change and a green growth strategy Recent macro-economic development have led to the need to restructure the economy The VGGS is driven by these three national policy agenda and Viet Nam awareness to contribute to international efforts to combat climate change. Decision No.1393/QD-TTg dated 25th Sep 2012 approved Vietnam Green Growth Strategy
Definition The Green Growth Strategy in Vietnam is a method to accelerate the process of economic restructuring towards the efficient use of natural resources, reducing greenhouse gas emissions through research and application of modern technologies, developing infrastructure to improve the entire efficiency of the economy, coping with climate change, contributing to poverty reduction, and driving the economic growth in a sustainable manner.
Goal and Objectives Overall goal: GG & LCE will become the mainstream of sustainable economic development & strengthen social economic development Objective 1: Restructure the economy and increase competiveness through efficient use of resources and address environmental degradation Objective 2: Assess and promote the use of high technology development to increase efficiency in natural resource use, reduce GHG intensity of the economy and respond to climate change Objective 3: Improve the quality through green employment, sustainable lifestyles, green infrastructure/bu ilding and restored natural capital
Targets 2020 2030 2050 GDP per capita doubled compared to 2010; Reduced energy consumption per GDP by 1.5 to 2% per year; Establish modern economic structures; Reduce intensity of GHG emissions by 8-10%; Improve the efficiency of using natural resources; Address env degradation; Gradually creating the conditions to switch to a green economy and develop a sustainable developing and stable country. Reduce total GHG emissions at least 2% per year; Env degradation addressed and natural capital improved while improved basic standards for clean and green technology established Green Economic Development is mainstreamed

Mitigation potential in cement sector Methodology to calculate emissions from cement sector Step 1: Calculate CO 2 emissions CO 2 = Quantity of cement (t) x EF (tco 2 /t cement) Cement sector Industrial process Step 2: Calculate SO 2 emissions SO 2 = Quantity of cement(t) x EF (tso 2 /t cement)
