Published: July 22, 2026
Abstract
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and accelerating green growth towards net zero emissions by 2050 while promoting economic development are the goals set by the Government of Vietnam. To achieve this goal at the lowest cost, technical measures and market tools need to be implemented together. Through the analysis of carbon markets of some countries in the world, such as China, Korea, Thailand, the United States, India, Europe and the current situation in Vietnam, this paper presents international experiences and makes some recommendations for Vietnam about the development of carbon market.
