The discussion session focused on three main points: Applying artificial intelligence and digitalization in reducing emissions and optimizing resources; enhancing public-private cooperation to promote innovation and solutions to overcome technical, infrastructure, and data security barriers in the green transition.
According to Minister of Science and Technology Nguyen Manh Hung, for Vietnam, breakthrough technologies prioritized for development include hydrogen, new generation batteries, low carbon technology, and circular technology.
In addition, new-generation digital technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), IoT, big data and semiconductor chips are important drivers for green transformation. These are all technologies that can create fundamental changes in the green development of humanity. In particular, Vietnam's digital transformation is being transformed into AI transformation, so that AI can help people become smarter, develop greener and more sustainably.
According to Minister Nguyen Manh Hung, "green and digital are twins", if you want green, you must be digital, if you want digital, you must be green. "Green must be digital" because when moving to a digital environment, people spend less on material things. "Digital must be green" because digital transformation will consume a large amount of electricity, which needs to be consumed efficiently.
According to the Minister of Science and Technology, it is necessary to develop a set of global green standards, and at the same time, there is a need for global action in creating new cooperation models to promote green transformation.
Vietnam proposed establishing a website for countries and businesses to access green transformation technology and experience. P4G countries also need to establish an "open innovation model" to form a bridge between places in need and solution and technology providers.
At the discussion session, representatives of international organizations and countries shared about the challenges in development and the need for cooperation in disseminating green technology.
Japan is using AI to monitor pollution, climate change and the biodiversity loss crisis, said Japanese Vice Environment Minister Katsume Yasushi.
He cited a private company in Japan that operates an app that allows people to take photos of animals and plants and upload them to the system. From the images, AI identifies the species and their specific habitat. This is an effective way of monitoring, thereby improving people's awareness of the importance of biodiversity.
Hon Soipan Tuya, Minister of Defense of Kenya, also emphasized that artificial intelligence has great potential in many fields such as finance, energy, agriculture, but poses challenges such as the risk of job loss, lack of data security and digital divide.
To leverage AI’s role in green development, countries need to invest in digital infrastructure, from high-speed internet, accessible cloud computing, to on-site data centers. Kenya is currently using AI to balance electricity output between sources, support disaster warnings, and monitor deforestation.
Mr. Bader Al Matrooshi, Ambassador of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), said that the UAE often faces challenges related to weather and climate. Similar to Vietnam, the UAE's solution is to take advantage of innovative solutions for sustainable development.
The country is focusing on implementing smart agriculture, applying hydroponic technology, and promoting green agriculture to respond to climate change.
The UAE already has the world’s largest farm, which uses machine learning to help plants grow well. “AI will increasingly play a key role in green growth, creating a world where economic development and environmental protection go hand in hand,” said Bader Al Matrooshi.
Previously, on April 16, the Ministry of Science and Technology held a policy dialogue forum on "Encouraging investment, business and promoting innovative startups in the field of green transformation and sustainable development".
The forum is expected to create a connecting space between policy makers, investors, experts and businesses, to discuss models and mechanisms to support innovation, green startups and build a sustainable development ecosystem in Vietnam.
