In his opening remarks, Mr. Pham Van Hoanh, Editor-in-Chief of the Finance - Investment Newspaper, said that the conference took place right after the COP30 Conference in Brazil, where the international community continued to discuss in-depth solutions to respond to climate change and promote global climate justice. One of the hottest issues at COP30 is climate finance, as the group of developing countries wants a clear payment roadmap for rich countries to fulfill their commitment to provide 300 billion USD in climate finance each year from 2035 as agreed at COP29.
Meanwhile, the world is witnessing a worrying paradox: Science is increasingly confirming the urgency of the climate crisis, but political will in many developed countries is showing signs of slowing down. The consequences of climate change are evident in Vietnam, where recent major storms have caused severe flooding in many northern and central provinces, leaving behind serious consequences.
“More than ever, Vietnam and the world need to continue to act for a greener, safer future for both the present and future generations,” Editor-in-Chief Pham Van Hoanh emphasized.
At parliamentary forums on the sidelines of COP30 as well as at official discussions, Vietnam reaffirmed its strong determination to transform climate commitments into substantive, transparent and fair actions, while promoting inter-parliamentary cooperation in responding to climate change.
In recent years, especially in 2025, Vietnam has proactively made many profound strategic changes to adapt to new conditions and promote sustainable development. The Party and Government are making efforts to build a new, more sustainable growth model, focusing on creating a favorable environment for businesses to develop and innovate, promoting investment in research and application of high technology, and prioritizing the implementation of a development strategy based on the "Quad Pillar Resolutions".
These orientations help Vietnam emerge as a dynamic economy, in which digital transformation and green transformation become important driving forces for growth.
According to Mr. Hoanh, Vietnam's sustainable development journey cannot be separated from the strong efforts of the business community. In recent years, Vietnamese enterprises and foreign enterprises operating in Vietnam have made clear changes in incorporating digital transformation and green transformation requirements into their business strategies, aiming to restructure the development model, minimize risks, save energy and expand international markets.
Statistics show that the total value of green bond issuance in the country since the beginning of the year has increased by more than 60% over the same period, reflecting growing confidence in the green development orientation of the Government and businesses.
Along with that, many new incentive policies have been issued to promote the green financial market, carbon market and sustainable financial instruments, aiming to form an effective domestic carbon market by 2030 that is capable of connecting with regional and global markets. This will be an important foundation to help Vietnamese enterprises participate more deeply in the international green supply chain and access international financial resources for development.
Mr. Hoanh believes that the businesses attending today's workshop, as well as the business community across the country, are leading the efforts in digital transformation and green transformation in accordance with their fields of operation, thereby contributing to building a safe and humane digital environment, promoting the digital economy, improving competitiveness and moving towards the goal of developing the digital economy by 2030.
Speakers: Ta Duc Binh (Expert, Institute of Strategy and Policy on Agriculture and Environment, Ministry of Agriculture and Environment); Vu Thai Truong (Head of Climate Change Department, UNDP Vietnam); Bui Trung Kien (Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, CME Solar Investment Joint Stock Company); Le Anh (Sustainable Development Director, Duy Tan Recycled Plastics); Nguyen Dinh Trung (Senior Manager, Financial Advisory Services, PwC Vietnam).
Discussion session on 2 topics "Inclusive implementation" , chaired by Mr. Le Trong Minh (Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Finance - Investment Newspaper).
Speakers: Thai-Lai Pham (President and CEO of Siemens ASEAN and Vietnam); Lee Leong Seng (Director of Residential Real Estate Development, Real Estate Division, Keppel Vietnam); Chu Van Phuong (General Director, Tien Phong Plastic Joint Stock Company); Nguyen Thi Ngoc Hue (Senior Director of Human Resources, Brand & Supplier Strategy, AEON Vietnam); Trinh Ha (Strategy Expert, Exness Investment Bank).
The representative of the Finance - Investment Newspaper affirmed the role of the Finance sector press agency in accompanying the Government and the Ministry of Finance to promote digital transformation, green transformation and sustainable development activities. Mr. Hoanh quoted General Secretary To Lam at the 80th Anniversary of the Finance sector, emphasizing that the Ministry of Finance is not only a pillar of financial policy but also a pioneer in innovation and national economic development.
That spirit is also the consistent message of the Sustainable Development Special Edition 2025 with the theme “Driving Force for the Sustainable Era”, officially released by the Finance - Investment Newspaper on the day of the conference. This special edition is published annually to share information and practical experiences in areas such as digital transformation, green transformation, green investment, energy transition, sustainable agriculture, green finance and high-tech healthcare, thereby creating inspiration and promoting stronger actions towards green growth and sustainable development.
However, according to Mr. Hoanh, the framework of the special issue cannot cover all the broad issues of sustainable development. Therefore, the Finance - Investment Newspaper hopes to receive more direct sharing from experts, policy makers, international organizations and business representatives in the discussion session at the workshop, in order to supplement deeper and more diverse perspectives.
"We expect that the professional perspectives and perspectives of policymakers, representatives of management agencies, international organizations, economic experts and representatives of businesses in Vietnam and internationally... will bring more multi-dimensional, rich and diverse perspectives on the responsibilities and actions we must take to enhance the resilience of businesses and the economy against health, energy and climate crises that may occur in the future, thereby contributing to building a green economy, realizing the Net Zero goal by 2050", the Editor-in-Chief of Finance - Investment Newspaper emphasized.
