Sustainable Productions: More than just enterprises responsibility
There are increasingly strict regulations from export markets and brands on greening production and supply chains, as well as sustainable development criteria. This forces Vietnamese textile and garment enterprises to improve their greening process more strongly. Going green is not only the responsibility of each business; the entire industry needs to participate to create a green business community and build a sustainable supply chain image in the eyes of consumers and international buyers.
Urban Cooling — A Sustainable Pathway Integrated into Infrastructure Planning
Vietnam is increasingly demonstrating strong commitment to reducing emissions and responding to climate change by placing “sustainable cooling” at the center of urban planning and development.
Nature in Cities: Ecological Infrastructure — Not Decoration
Urban nature isn’t a decorative layer. It cools streets, filters water, reduces floods, supports pollinators—and improves human wellbeing.
Resilient Cities: Infrastructure and Legal Frameworks Must Advance Together
A resilient city is an urban area capable of absorbing, adapting to, and recovering from shocks and long-term stresses — from acute disasters such as storms, floods, and landslides, to chronic pressures such as rapid urbanization, ecosystem degradation, and supply-chain vulnerabilities.
Resource Autonomy Amid Resource Scarcity: Is It the Solution?
As resource scarcity intensifies and geopolitical instability escalates, the concept of resource autonomy is emerging as a strategic priority. This article analyzes how resource autonomy not only complements but may even surpass the circular economy as a framework that enables industrial systems to adapt to the future.
Urban Agriculture Model: A Green Solution for Ho Chi Minh City’s Urban Space
Amid growing pressures from rapid urbanization, high population density, environmental pollution, and increasing demand for clean food, urban agriculture is emerging as an integrated solution to several of Ho Chi Minh City’s challenges.
Flooding and Traffic Jams: When Cities Run Out of Breath
As urbanization accelerates and Vietnam commits to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, the choice of urban development model is no longer just a matter of planning—it’s a strategic decision. We now stand at a crossroads: continue expanding cities the old way, or proactively build green, sustainable cities that ensure quality of life and a safe future for communities.
Developing Green Buildings: From Trend to Urgent Requirement
In the context of increasingly complex climate change and Vietnam’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, the development of green buildings (GBs) has been identified as one of the strategic solutions of the construction sector. Green buildings not only help reduce emissions and save energy but also create high-quality living environments, enhance competitiveness, and promote the formation of a green economy.
Special Highlights of COP30: When the World Looks to the Amazon for Climate Action of the Future
COP30 marks the 30th Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change).
Criticality Assessment: The First Step Toward Building Resilience
Europe is entering a major transformation in resilience thinking. Under the Critical Entities Resilience (CER) Directive, organizations are not only required to manage risks but also to understand, demonstrate, and maintain the elements that are “critical” to their operations, economy, and society.
Carbon Trading Systems and the Reshaping of the Construction Industry’s Future
The construction industry is one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for around 37% of total global CO₂ emissions (IEA, 2022). The expansion of Emissions Trading Systems (ETS) beyond the energy sector into carbon-intensive industries — including building materials and operational processes — is reshaping the entire cost structure and competitive strategies of the construction sector.
Green Finance in Real Estate: Investment Opportunities and Strategies for Developers in Emerging Markets
The global real estate sector is both the largest source of emissions and the greatest investment opportunity in the journey toward net-zero. According to IFC (2025), greening the construction value chain could unlock USD 1.5 trillion in investment opportunities across emerging markets in the next decade.
LCA and EPD: Scientific Evidence for Transparency in Green Certifications
In today’s global context of increasing focus on sustainability, transparency in data has become a critical requirement in the construction industry. Two prominent tools that address this need are LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) and EPD (Environmental Product Declaration). Beyond helping projects earn credits in green building certification systems such as LEED or BREEAM, LCA and EPD are also long-term strategies to enhance credibility and value for projects.
