Green finance in Vietnam: A key solution for businesses to access capital for environmental protection

Abstract

This study examines the role of green finance in Vietnam as a key solution to support businesses in securing capital for environmental protection. As green finance gains global traction, receiving attention from international financial institutions and Vietnam alike, the study highlights its dual impact: promoting environmental benefits and contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The study underscores how green financial capital can help Vietnam meet its commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 through investments in green energy and energy-efficient technologies. Furthermore, the study stresses the crucial role of government policies in fostering green finance, including incentives, technical support, the establishment of a legal framework, and the development of public-private partnerships.
