The VGGS has been developing strategies for green growth, climate change response, and sustainable development in partnership with Vietnamese ministries. Through these strategies, they will be conducting assessments for green growth initiatives, developing green growth-based investment plans, and supporting the development of green cities
In line with this, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh’ suggested the expansion of Vietnam and the United States’ partnership in terms of green transition and sustainable agriculture to assist in the shift to a sustainable economy, reported The Investor magazine.
