Op-Ed: Energy Sovereignty and the Next Chapter of Viet Nam’s Transformation

Viet Nam is entering a new chapter of political and institutional transformation. Following the Communist Party Congress in January, the National Assembly elections in March, and the first session of the new Assembly in April, a new generation of leaders has assumed office. And while administrative structures continue to evolve, one priority remains unchanged: Viet Nam’s strategic commitment to sustaining high-quality growth while advancing its net-zero emissions and climate resilience goals. These priorities are firmly embedded in high-level policies and integrated into socio-economic planning and national targeted programmes.Energy sovereignty under immediate pressureYet even as this transition unfolds, the new leadership is immediately confronted with an early test of energy sovereignty. When international oil prices surged past 100 USD per barrel earlier this year, Vietnamese consumers faced sharp increases in fuel costs: petrol reached nearly 35,000 VND (approximately 1.3 USD) per litre in March 2026, while diesel climbed to over 42,000 VND in early April - spikes of 65% and 132% compared to February. These sudden increases, driven by geopolitical instability, exposed the structural vulnerability of Viet Nam’s reliance on imported fossil fuels and underscored the urgency of accelerating the energy transition.The Ministry of Industry and Trade’s May 2026 report (Report #312/BC-BCT, 13 May 2026) offers a more profound warning. Viet Nam became a net energy importer in 2015, with import dependence rising from 8.5% of total primary energy consumption to nearly 44% in 2025 (53.6 million TOE). Projections indicate that dependence will remain significant at around 27% by 2045 (63.8 million TOE). At the same time, the electricity system faces structural constraints. Even if all renewable energy projects under the Power Development Plan VIII are delivered on time, Viet Nam could still face a power deficit of up to 14%-16% of total commercial electricity output by 2030. If grid bottlenecks limit renewable integration, shortages could rise to as much as 20%, and in more constrained scenarios, up to 28%.From fossil fuel dependence to a just energy transitionThese are not abstract technical figures. They are warnings about the foundations of future growth. Energy insecurity threatens industrial competitiveness, supply chain stability, and macroeconomic resilience. Heavy dependence on imported fossil fuels also exposes Viet Nam to external shocks beyond its control. This is why energy security is no longer just a sectoral issue - it is now a core element of national economic sovereignty.The direction forward is increasingly clear: strengthening energy sovereignty requires a decisive shift away from fossil fuel dependence and toward a more resilient, diversified, and domestically anchored energy system.Offshore wind, solar energy, energy efficiency, and modernized grids are no longer optional components of development planning. They are strategic infrastructure for national resilience. Strengthened regional interconnection and power trade can further enhance system flexibility and reduce exposure to global volatility.These energy vulnerabilities are inseparable from the accelerating global climate crisis. Scientific evidence is unequivocal: continued reliance on fossil fuels is the principal driver of global warming and increasingly severe extreme weather events. United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres was crystal clear about the source of the problem and the available solution in his special address at London Climate Action Week. He said, “Our world is facing a Tale of two Crises: A climate crisis pushing us deeper toward higher temperatures and closer to catastrophic tipping points; And an energy crisis exposing the folly of a world hooked on hydrocarbons. On the surface, these crises may seem separate. But they share the same destructive origin: Fossil fuels. And they demand the same answer: A fast, fair transition to clean energy and a surge in adaptation, resilience and climate justice for those already facing climate harm.”For Viet Nam - one of the world’s most climate-vulnerable countries - these global trends translate into very real domestic impacts: stronger and more destructive typhoons along the central coast, rising sea levels threatening the Mekong Delta and its 17 million residents, prolonged droughts affecting agricultural production, and increasing heat stress reducing labor productivity across agriculture, industry, and services.The same fossil fuel dependence that drives today’s price volatility is also intensifying tomorrow’s climate risks. Breaking this dual dependency - on volatile global energy markets and on a destabilizing carbon pathway - is not a trade-off between growth and sustainability. It is the only credible pathway to both resilience and prosperity.In this context, the United Nations Secretary-General’s global call to action - ending new fossil fuel expansion, tripling renewable energy capacity by 2030, and rapidly reducing methane emissions -is particularly relevant for Viet Nam’s current development trajectory. These priorities are fully consistent with Viet Nam’s national ambitions for energy security, economic stability, and sustainable growth.The UN system in Viet Nam is working in close partnership with the Government and national stakeholders to translate these global goals into practical action. This includes mobilizing financing for renewable energy infrastructure, strengthening technical capacity for offshore wind and solar deployment, supporting just transition pathways for workers and communities, and enhancing climate resilience for those most exposed to climate impacts. It also includes support for implementing Viet Nam’s National Climate Change Strategy and the National Action Plan on Methane Reduction, both central to the pathway toward net-zero emissions by 2050.The events of early 2026 - rising fuel prices, inflationary pressures, and concerns over energy system reliability - underscore the urgency of this transition. At the same time, they highlight a critical opportunity. Viet Nam should not wait for future shocks to act. The policy frameworks are already in place, renewable energy resources are abundant, and international partnerships are strong. What is needed now is acceleration in scale and pace of implementation.Encouragingly, progress is already underway. On 1 June 2026, for example, Viet Nam rolled out E10 biofuel nationwide, replacing E5 RON92 and reducing fossil fuel content in petrol blends by approximately 10%. At present, the use of B5 and B10 biodiesel is being encouraged. This further reflects efforts to diversify energy sources and reduce import dependence. While the environmental sustainability of biofuels must continue to be carefully assessed across their full lifecycle, this step reflects an important policy signal: leveraging current challenges to accelerate structural change.A just transition for a resilient futureA choice between development and climate action is a false dichotomy. A just energy transition ensures that growth, resilience, and sustainability advance together, leaving no one behind.Viet Nam’s experience captures a defining challenge of our time: how to power development without deepening vulnerability, and how to build prosperity while safeguarding the planet. The choices made today will shape not only national development trajectories but also the credibility of global climate commitments.With strong policy foundations, abundant renewable potential, and sustained international partnership, Viet Nam is well positioned to turn today’s challenges into long-term opportunity. The United Nations stands ready to continue working with the Government and people of Viet Nam to advance a just transition toward net-zero emissions by 2050 - as a pathway to resilience, sovereignty, and shared prosperity./.

Viet Nam: Joint action bringing hope for at-risk families

Viet Nam faced one of its worst typhoon seasons in decades: over 4 million people affected and $4.2 billion in damages. Fifteen typhoons between May and October 2025 brought relentless rains, floods, and landslides across the country triggering extensive humanitarian needs and widespread damage to housing, infrastructure, and livelihoods. Economic losses are estimated at roughly 1% of GDP, highlighting vulnerability to climate shocks.To protect Viet Nam’s development gains from climate shocks, the Disaster Risk Reduction Partnership, co-chaired by the Government and the UN RC, mobilized $96.2m to assist people most in need.In Tuyen Quang province, Muong, a 39-year-old Nung ethnic woman and mother of three, sits in her stilt house with a roof torn apart by the storms. Living with her elderly mother and a husband with a disability, Muong is both the main caregiver and breadwinner. “The floodwaters surrounded our house for three days,” she recalled. “We were isolated, and I tried to keep breastfeeding, but I didn’t have enough food.” Diagnosed with moderate acute malnutrition, her children received ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) supported by UN and government partners - helping her recover and grow healthy again. “I’m so happy that my children can get treatment for malnutrition,” she said. Through a Joint Response Plan, the UN and the Government of Viet Nam scaled up multisectoral coordination and response in water and sanitation, health and nutrition, education, shelter, food security and livelihoods, and protection. In Thai Nguyen, many people have lost nearly all their possessions. “The recent floods swept away the entire roof; our house was buried, and I only had enough time to evacuate,” shared Yen, “When I returned, the whole flock of chickens was gone.”Under the joint response, and with support from development partners, the UN provided multi-purpose cash assistance to 1,500 households, in Cao Bang, Thai Nguyen, and Lang Son, to enable people most affected to recover, repair and restore homes, local infrastructure and livelihoods. “I plan to use this cash to buy materials to repair the house and rebuild the chicken coop. Then I’ll start raising chickens again,” Yen said.In Thai Nguyen province, Say’s home was submerged for 22 consecutive days after the typhoons, destroying the family’s only sanitation facility and putting her two-year-old son at risk. Local health workers, through UN-ECHO efforts, provided Say and her community with Aquatab water treatment tablets, essential supplies and cash assistance for longer-term WASH recovery. “With this support, I can buy pipes to bring clean water from the mountain stream into the new tank,” Say explained with a smile. For families like Say, the assistance was more than material support, it was a lifeline that restored access to essential services and builds their resilience to future shocks.For families like Muong, Yen, and Say, humanitarian aid was more than immediate relief—it was a lifeline that restored dignity, rebuilt livelihoods, and strengthened resilience against future shocks. The UN’s coordinated response, alongside the Government of Viet Nam, turned despair into recovery and hope.

A safer digital future: How Viet Nam can lead the fight against technology-facilitated gender-based violence

Caroline Nyamayemombe and Pauline Tamesis*Việt Nam has made notable progress in advancing gender equality and promoting women’s rights. Its commitment is reflected in strong national policies, investments in digital transformation, and increasing participation of women in public life. The country has also demonstrated global leadership through the Hanoi Convention on Cybercrime, signaling its determination to foster a safer, more resilient digital environment for all.As technology reshapes every part of society, digital spaces have become central to how people learn, work, connect, and express themselves. But alongside opportunity, the online world has also given rise to new risks — including technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TF GBV). This form of violence encompasses image-based abuse, cyberstalking, impersonation, deepfakes, and online harassment. It mirrors and amplifies offline inequalities, often escalating tensions in relationships and increasing the risk of physical harm.According to United Nations, global studies estimate that 16 per cent to 58 per cent of women and girls have experienced technology-facilitated violence, and about 300 million children suffer online exploitation each year. In Việt Nam, two per cent of adolescents aged 15-17 reported having exchanged sexual images and videos of themselves for money or gifts – known as online child sexual exploitation.With 86 per cent of Việt Nam’s population online last year, the digital world has become a new frontline in the fight against gender-based violence. Yet awareness of technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TF GBV) remains limited and response mechanisms are still under development.The UN Global Digital Compact calls for gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls, and efforts to counter and eliminate all forms of violence, including sexual and gender based violence that occurs through or is amplified by the use of technology. Through cooperation with member states, the UN is working with the Government of Việt Nam and national partners, to strengthen prevention and response. The UN Joint Programme on Ending Violence Against Women and Children (EVAWC) funded by the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, joins the efforts of UNFPA, UNICEF, and UN Women.Since 2023, the EVAWC Programme has helped strengthen Việt Nam’s digital safety and resilience. Through campus dialogues, influencer engagement, and public messaging, the programme built practical skills to prevent and respond to technology facilitated GBV, helping women, adolescent girls, and parents build confidence and share responsibility for safer digital spaces.Beyond the joint programme, the UN promotes online safety for women and children and access to quality and comprehensive care for survivors. One Stop Service Centres in HCM City and seven Ánh Dương houses nationwide and capacity building of service providers equip frontline responders to recognise and respond to online abuse.In 2023, over 30 women’s groups were trained on cybersecurity and solidarity networks, a Safety App (S-App) developed in Đà Nẵng and the e-Peace House platform is under design. These interventions are being developed to enable access to help with a click. Communications campaigns, such as the 16 Days of Activism led by UN Women, campaigns against sexual trafficking by IOM, or against cyber bullying by UNESCO, child protection by UNICEF – advocate for various forms of online safety for women and girls, reaching millions of people in Việt Nam.As with offline violence, a whole of society approach is needed. The Government of Việt Nam is making important strides, collaborating with platforms such as Facebook, Google, TikTok, and YouTube to combat online child sexual abuse. These efforts align with Việt Nam’s first National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security, which underscores women’s right to live free from violence — online and offline.To harness the positive potential of technology and reduce its risks for women and girls four actions are critical:Firstly, improve the law. Việt Nam should establish clear legal definitions and penalties for technology facilitated GBV – including image-based violence, cyberstalking, and doxing – and ensure swift, victim-survivor-sensitive investigation and prosecution.Secondly, hold technology companies accountable. Platforms must strengthen content moderation, privacy protections, and transparent reporting systems. Partnerships between government, tech firms, and civil society can accelerate rapid takedown of harmful content and support survivors seeking redress.Thirdly, empower women and girls in the digital space. Invest in nationwide digital literacy and safety programmes – particularly for women and girls in rural, ethnic minority, and low-income communities – so that they can navigate, report, and resist online harm.And fourthly, build system and workforce capacity. Upskill police, prosecutors, health and social service providers, and educators with the knowledge, tools, and digital literacy to recognise, investigate, and respond to technology facilitated GBV - ensuring online and offline responses are integrated and victim-survivor centred.Ending technology-facilitated gender-based violence demands awareness, accountability, and action. Every click, share, and post is a choice – to build a digital world that is safe, respectful and inclusive.Việt Nam’s digital transformation agenda can lead by example – creating a future where every woman and girl can connect, speak and thrive online – free from fear. — VNS*Caroline Nyamayemombe is the Country Representative of UN Women and Pauline Tamesis is the Resident Coordinator of the United Nations in Việt Nam

Tổng điều tra Dân số và Nhà ở tại Việt Nam: Cần một tầm nhìn chiến lược

Tầm quan trọng của Tổng Điều tra Dân số và Nhà ở.Tổng Điều tra Dân số và Nhà ở (sau đây gọi tắt là TĐT) là hoạt động thống kê lớn nhất của mỗi quốc gia và là nền tảng của hệ thống thống kê quốc gia. TĐT cung cấp dữ liệu toàn diện, phân tách về quy mô dân số, cơ cấu, phân bố, hoạt động kinh tế, điều kiện sống và nhà ở, y tế và giáo dục, di cư trong nước, quốc tế cũng như các đặc điểm kinh tế xã hội quan trọng khác – một hệ thống dữ liệu mà không có nguồn nào khác có thể cung cấp đầy đủ. Trong bối cảnh kinh tế xã hội có nhiều thay đổi cũng như quá trình chuyển đổi nhân khẩu học đang diễn ra mạnh mẽ trên toàn thế giới, bao gồm cả tại Việt Nam, các dữ liệu này lại càng quan trọng hơn bao giờ hết và càng không thể thiếu đối với: (1) Công tác lập kế hoạch chiến lược và phân bổ nguồn lực cho phát triển Kinh tế-Xã hội cả cấp quốc gia và địa phương; (2) Hoạch định chính sách dựa trên bằng chứng; (3) Giám sát và báo cáo tiến độ thực hiện các Mục tiêu Phát triển Bền vững (SDGs) và các cam kết quốc tế khác để đảm bảo không ai bị bỏ lại phía sau; và (4) Cho phép so sánh với các quốc gia khác theo chuẩn quốc tế thúc đẩy hội nhập quốc tế. Với tầm quan trọng đặc biệt của cuộc TĐT, Liên hợp quốc nhấn mạnh rằng các quốc gia thành viên cần thiết lập khuôn khổ pháp lý toàn diện cho TĐT để đảm bảo tính liên tục, nguồn lực được phân bổ, trách nhiệm giải trình và tạo niềm tin của công chúng.Thực tế triển khai Tổng Điều tra Dân số và Nhà ở tại Việt Nam.Tại Việt nam, TĐT đã được thực hiện từ năm 1979 theo chu kỳ 10 năm 1 lần với sự hỗ trợ kỹ thuật hiệu quả từ Quỹ Dân số Liên hợp quốc UNFPA. Do nhu cầu cần thêm dữ liệu thông tin cập nhật phục vụ công tác lập kế hoạch và ngân sách phát triển kinh tế xã hội theo giai đoạn 5 năm, Chính phủ Việt Nam đã triển khai thêm hai điều tra Dân số và Nhà ở giữa kỳ được thực hiện vào năm 2014 và năm 2024. Dưới sự chủ trì của Cục Thống kê, Việt Nam đã đổi mới phương thức thu thập thông tin, áp dụng nền tảng kỹ thuật số thông qua phương pháp CAPI phục vụ TĐT năm 2019 và Điều tra Dân số và Nhà ở giữa kỳ gần đây, nhằm giảm chi phí, tăng tốc độ xử lý dữ liệu và nâng cao độ chính xác. Các kết quả từ TĐT đã góp phần không nhỏ trong việc cung cấp thông tin phản ánh thực trạng kinh tế - xã hội phục vụ công tác chỉ đạo, điều hành của lãnh đạo các cấp và đáp ứng nhu cầu sử dụng thông tin thống kê của đông đảo người dùng tin.Kinh nghiệm toàn cầu trong việc triển khai Tổng Điều tra Dân số và Nhà ở.
TĐT được thực hiện ở hầu hết các quốc gia trên thế giới bao gồm cả Việt Nam. Phần lớn các quốc gia thực hiện cuộc khảo sát này 10 năm một lần. Một số quốc gia (như Canada, Nhật Bản, Ireland và Pháp) thực hiện 5 năm một lần; còn Phần Lan, Ý, Thụy Sĩ và một số nước khác tạo dữ liệu điều tra dân số hàng năm dựa trên nguồn dữ liệu hành chính. Trên thế giới, các cuộc TĐT đang chuyển từ áp dụng phương pháp truyền thống (có nghĩa là thống kê thực địa, tận nơi, dùng bảng hỏi giấy) sang sử dụng các nền tảng kỹ thuật số, áp dụng phương pháp hỗn hợp và tiến tới dựa hoàn toàn vào dữ liệu đăng ký (dữ liệu hành chính). Các động lực thúc đẩy tiến trình đổi mới này bao gồm áp lực giảm kinh phí, đòi hỏi tính kịp thời, chất lượng dữ liệu và tính khả dụng của dữ liệu hành chính cũng như hạ tầng kỹ thuật số đang ngày càng phát triển.Cần một tầm nhìn chiến lược cho Tổng Điều tra Dân số và Nhà ở tại Việt Nam.Để đáp ứng nhu cầu ngày càng tăng về dữ liệu, trong bối cảnh thay đổi dân số đang diễn ra nhanh chóng cùng với sự phát triển vượt bậc của cuộc cách mạng công nghiệp 4.0, rất cần có một tầm nhìn chiến lược cho TĐT trong thời gian tới. Việt Nam có tiềm năng thực hiện TĐT trên cơ sở dữ liệu hành chính. Với việc vận hành cơ sở dữ liệu quốc gia về dân cư (do Bộ Công an quản lý) và các cơ sở dữ liệu hành chính khác như dữ liệu về đăng ký và thống kê hộ tịch - CRVS - do Bộ Tư pháp quản lý, hoặc cơ sở dữ liệu do Bảo hiểm xã hội Việt Nam (VSS) quản lý liên quan đến bảo hiểm xã hội, bảo hiểm y tế và bảo hiểm thất nghiệp, Việt Nam có thể từng bước chuyển dần sang thực hiện TĐT trên cơ sở dữ liệu hành chính. Mặc dù các cơ sở dữ liệu quan trọng liên quan đến dân số đã được thiết lập và vận hành ở Việt Nam nhưng vẫn còn nhiều thách thức. Bộ Công an, Bộ Tư pháp hay các bộ ban ngành khác đang quản lý các cơ sở dữ liệu chuyên ngành nhưng lại không có chức năng tạo ra số liệu thống kê. Hiện chưa có cơ chế chia sẻ dữ liệu để dễ dàng truy cập và sử dụng dữ liệu hành chính cho mục đích thống kê. Ngoài ra, Việt Nam cũng cần nỗ lực hơn trong việc cải thiện chất lượng dữ liệu, tăng khả năng tiếp cận số liệu, và cải thiện phạm vi bao phủ các nhóm dân cư như người di cư, cũng như và bảo vệ quyền riêng tư khi tiếp cận các dữ liệu có thể dùng chung.Kinh nghiệm quốc tế cho thấy lộ trình chuyển đổi từ phương pháp truyền thống sang phương pháp hiện đại (tiến tới sử dụng hoàn toàn nguồn dữ liệu hành chính phục vụ TĐT) cần được thực hiện từng bước, thận trọng và có giai đoạn quá độ kết hợp giữa dữ liệu điều tra truyền thống và dữ liệu hành chính. Các yếu tố then chốt cần chú ý gồm: (i) Hoàn thiện khung pháp lý, bảo đảm quyền tiếp cận và chia sẻ dữ liệu cũng như an toàn, bảo mật thông tin cá nhân; (ii) Nâng cao chất lượng, độ tin cậy và mức độ bao phủ của dữ liệu hành chính; (iii) Chuẩn hóa và tích hợp dữ liệu trên cơ sở mã định danh cá nhân duy nhất; (iv) Đầu tư hạ tầng công nghệ thông tin hiện đại, bảo mật cao; (v) Phát triển nguồn nhân lực thống kê và CNTT có năng lực phân tích dữ liệu lớn; và (vi) Đẩy mạnh truyền thông, tạo sự đồng thuận và tin tưởng trong xã hội. Để tiến tới thực hiện TĐT trên cơ sở dữ liệu hành chính, ưu tiên trước mắt là cần tiến hành đánh giá các nguồn dữ liệu hành chính hiện tại trên cơ sở các yêu cầu và chuẩn mực quốc tế đối với Tổng Điều tra Dân số và Nhà ở. Điều này sẽ giúp xác định các khoảng trống và xây dựng lộ trình, bao gồm cả việc thiết lập khuôn khổ pháp lý toàn diện, tiến tới thực hiện TĐT sử dụng hoàn toàn nguồn dữ liệu hành chính. Bên cạnh nội dung đánh giá nguồn dữ liệu hành chính, Việt Nam cũng cần thí điểm việc áp dụng cơ sở dữ liệu hành chính cho TĐT trước khi thực hiện chính thức vào năm 2029. Cuộc thí điểm này nên được thực hiện càng sớm càng tốt. Những năm tới đây sẽ là cơ hội để Việt Nam tiếp tục củng cố hệ thống thu thập thông tin qua các nền tảng kỹ thuật số, tăng cường hoàn thiện cơ sở dữ liệu dân cư quốc gia và các nguồn dữ liệu hành chính khác cũng như và khả năng tiếp cận, từng bước tiến tới thực hiện TĐT thông qua sử dụng hoàn toàn dữ liệu hành chính, trong đó nhấn mạnh tính toàn diện về dữ liệu, đảm bảo tính bảo mật thông tin và an ninh dữ liệu. Để đi theo hướng này, việc sửa đổi Luật Thống kê sẽ rất quan trọng nhằm tạo cơ sở pháp lý đầy đủ cho việc đổi mới phương thức thực hiện TĐT tại Việt Nam. Luật Thống kê sửa đổi cần duy trì quy định đảm bảo TĐT là một phần của các cuộc điều tra quốc gia được thực hiện thường xuyên. Bên cạnh đó cần có quy định đảm bảo với mục đích thu thập dữ liệu hành chính phục vụ công tác thống kê, Cục trưởng Cục Thống kê có quyền yêu cầu các bộ/ngành, cơ quan quản lý nguồn dữ liệu hành chính cung cấp thông tin, dữ liệu hành chính một cách đầy đủ, chính xác và kịp thời; đồng thời trao quyền cho Cục Thống kê tổng hợp thông tin từ các cơ sở dữ liệu này và công bố dữ liệu chính thức, nhưng vẫn đảm bảo tôn trọng quyền riêng tư/bảo mật thông tin, dữ liệu.

Op-ed: Viet Nam’s Just Energy Transition Stands at A Defining Moment, with Global Leadership within Reach

This year marks a pivotal milestone for global cooperation. We commemorate 80 years since the founding of the United Nations (UN) and reflect on a decade since the Paris Agreement under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). It is also nearly 80 years since President Ho Chi Minh proclaimed Viet Nam’s independence in Hanoi on 2 September 1945. These moments are not just anniversaries – they represent a common ambition. They are reminders that real progress is possible when countries work together on shared, complex challenges. They also reflect a long-term commitment to building more peaceful, resilient, and inclusive societies.As global attention turns to the 80th Session of the UN General Assembly, the UN Secretary-General issued a clear and urgent message: “Countries that cling to fossil fuels are not protecting their economies - they are sabotaging them. Driving up costs, undermining competitiveness, locking in stranded assets, and missing the greatest economic opportunity of the 21st century. Renewables are here to stay because they are the foundation of energy security and sovereignty.”Viet Nam stands at the heart of that opportunity. Two and a half years since the Political Declaration on the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) was announced, Viet Nam is moving from ambition to action. Major policy reforms are advancing, including the updated Electricity Law, the revised Power Development Plan VIII, and new regulations on direct power purchase agreements and the self-consumption of solar power. These reforms are laying the foundation for cleaner energy, economic diversification, and long-term energy security.Equally significant is Viet Nam’s progress on implementation. Seventeen JETP-aligned projects have been screened and agreed through a joint process involving the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT), as Standing Agency of the JETP Secretariat, alongside co-leads of the International Partners Group (IPG) and the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ) Secretariat, with support from UNDP in its role as Secretariat Support Agency (SSA). Together, they represent a little more than US$7 billion in potential investments. Of these, three projects, valued at over US$700 million, have already secured financing agreements in principle from IPG members that will expand renewable energy and grid capacity, energy storage, and improve the reliability of clean energy supply. As the next step, international partners are initiating project-level engagement to explore financing pathways. The aim is to test and refine the process through real-time learning on selected projects before scaling up.The launch of the JETP website underscores Viet Nam’s commitment to transparency and coordination. The online portal is designed to facilitate project submission and grow the pipeline of JETP-aligned projects.However, implementation demands continued effort.To sustain this momentum, stronger cross-government coordination and more enabling financial frameworks will be essential. The UN Secretary-General noted, “to unleash the full force of finance – driving investment to markets with massive potential (…) demands bold national policies, (…) and (…) to drastically increase the lending capacity of multilateral development banks, making them (…) better able to leverage massive amounts of private finance at reasonable costs”. While important progress is being made, implementation still faces practical constraints related to administrative procedures, permitting, grid integration, local capacity, as well as limited flexibility in mobilising concessional and blended finance, which must be addressed. These issues are pressing not only for energy transition goals, but also for broader national priorities, such as sustaining high GDP growth, diversifying trade partnerships, ensuring energy security, and advancing clean energy technologies to support export competitiveness.This is where global cooperation and partnerships matter. The US$15.5 billion pledged by the IPG and GFANZ members reflects strong confidence in Viet Nam’s transition. But as experiences in other JETP countries have shown, the real test lies in delivery. Concessional terms and conditions of finance, proactive cooperation, risk-sharing tools, and tailored technical assistance are essential to unlock progress on complex challenges, including coal transition.Viet Nam’s energy transition presents an opportunity to show how climate ambition can be realized through national leadership, international support, and a focus on people-centred development. Just as important is ensuring the transition protects workers and communities, promotes social dialogue and stakeholder engagement, and ensures decent work, social protection, and access to opportunities for all. In provinces such as Quang Ninh, Ninh Thuận, and Bình Thuận, energy reforms are already reshaping local economies. Workers, women, youth, and small businesses must be active participants in designing and benefiting from this shift. That means providing new skills, targeted support, and sustained dialogue with the communities most affected.The United Nations team in Viet Nam is wholly committed to supporting this process. WHO, ILO, UNESCO, UNICEF, and UNIDO are contributing to efforts that link energy reforms with health, labour protections, future-ready education, and decarbonisation of the cement sector. FAO, UNFPA and UN Women are supporting rural women, who make up 64 percent of agriculture workers and are among the hardest hit by climate disasters. These efforts include integrating prevention of gender-based violence into disaster response and supporting women’s leadership in disaster preparedness. UNDP is working with national counterparts to support the integration of just transition principles into JETP project screening, monitoring, and investment appraisal, ensuring social equity is embedded throughout implementation. UNDP is also supporting the Government, IPG and GFANZ in implementation of the JETP as the JETP SSA, leveraging the UN’s impartiality in enabling the partnership.Viet Nam’s energy transition is not only about reducing emissions. It is about advancing energy security, industrial competitiveness, and inclusive development in a rapidly changing global economy. As a G35 country, Viet Nam’s progress is being closely watched for its potential to serve as a success model of how emerging economies can align climate action with development priorities.The upcoming UNFCCC 30th Conference of Parties (COP30) in Belem, Brazil will be a defining moment – not only for global climate ambition, but also for demonstrating leadership through action. The third Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC 3.0) presents an opportunity for Viet Nam to signal its enhanced ambition, translate policy into investment-ready plans, and, as expected, incorporate JETP implementation among the contributions. A strong NDC 3.0 highlighting JETP implementation progress, strengthened sectoral emissions reduction pathways, and practical carbon pricing mechanisms would reinforce Viet Nam’s credibility as a climate leader among emerging economies.Viet Nam’s JETP is more than a financing pledge. This partnership is a platform for international cooperation and a model for how national ambition can drive global impact. The path ahead is clear: accelerate technical assistance, streamline project approvals, and deliver financing that supports just, inclusive outcomes.Progress must not be stalled by perfection – or lost to inaction.With sustained political will, coordinated international support, and a shared focus on implementation, Viet Nam can lead by example. Not just in the region, but across the Global South. The next six months will be decisive.The choices made today will shape the energy, economy, and environment of tomorrow. Let us seize this opportunity, together.

FROM LAB TO MARKET: REMOVING GENDER BARRIERS TO TURN RESEARCH INTO GROWTH DRIVERS

The conference was co-organized by UN Women and the Viet Nam Association for Intellectual Women (VAFIW) to advance solutions that help women scientists translate research into real-world applications, contributing to innovation, green transition and digital transformation in Viet Nam.Although women account for 46% of Viet Nam’s research and development (R&D) workforce, many women-led research continue to face significant barriers to commercialization. Women lead only 25.5 per cent of science and technology research projects, while the share of women receiving patents, utility solutions, industrial designs and plant variety protections remain between 13 and 20%.Participants emphasized that the greatest challenge lies not only in generating new knowledge, but also in ensuring women scientists have access to the resources needed to bring that knowledge into practice. Many women researchers continue to face difficulties accessing investment capital, start-up acceleration programmes, commercialization advisory services, opportunities for collaboration with businesses, and innovation networks Globally, the gap between research and commercialization is often referred to as the “Valley of Death” – the stage at which many promising innovations fail to develop into viable products or commercial solutions. For women scientists, this gap is often wider due to gender-related barriers in accessing finance, leadership opportunities, professional networks and the unequal burden of unpaid care work. Participants stressed that supporting women scientists’ access to markets is not only a matter of gender equality but also an urgent requirement for innovation and economic growth. As Viet Nam pursues its goal of becoming a high-income country by 2045 and accelerates its digital and green transitions, addressing these barriers is directly linked to the country’s competitiveness and long-term development prospects. International experiences shared during the conference from Canada, Finland, the Republic of Korea, the United Kingdom, Australia and Colombia highlighted that successful innovation ecosystems rely on effective linkages among scientists, universities, businesses, investors and policymakers. These connections are essential for narrowing the gap between research and market application.Speaking at the conference, Ms. Caroline Nyamayemombe, UN Women Representative in Viet Nam, stated:“Gender equality is not only a matter of social justice; it is also an economic imperative. Let us work together to build an ecosystem where no talent is wasted, no innovation is left behind, and every woman scientist can contribute fully to Viet Nam’s green and digital future.”Prof. Dr. Lê Thị Hợp, President of the Viet Nam Association for Intellectual Women, noted:“Vietnamese women scientists have demonstrated their capabilities, creativity and adaptability. What is needed now is a stronger ecosystem that connects science with investment, research with business, and innovation with the market.”At the close of the conference, participants called for increased investment in programmes supporting the commercialization of women-led research; expanded access to finance, mentorship and market connections; and the development of a more inclusive innovation ecosystem where women scientists can transform research ideas into solutions that generate economic and social value for Viet Nam.

(Photo: Bich Lien) Quality, Innovation and Market Orientation as the Foundation of CompetitivenessIn the opening remarks, Ms. Hoang Mai Van Anh, National Coordinator of the Global Quality and Standards Programme (GQSP) in Viet Nam, UNIDO, emphasized that export success today is no longer determined by an individual product, but by the ability of the entire value chain to create value, ensure quality, improve efficiency and meet market requirements. According to her, sustainable competitiveness must be built on quality, innovation and a strong national quality infrastructure. UNIDO will continue supporting Viet Nam through GQSP in developing a more competitive, innovative and market-oriented agricultural export system. Mr. Meier Andri Fabian, Deputy Head of Cooperation, the Embassy of Switzerland, emphasized that quality is no longer simply a competitive advantage, but a requirement for accessing and maintaining a position in international markets. He highlighted the importance of post-harvest management, cold chain systems, traceability and compliance with international standards in enhancing the competitiveness, resilience and long-term sustainability of Viet Nam's agricultural exports. Dr. Nguyen Duc Long, Director General of the Viet Nam Institute of Agricultural Engineering and Post-Harvest Technology (VIAEP), observed that Viet Nam’s agricultural sector is gradually shifting from volume-based exports to value-based exports, from supplying raw materials to developing processed products, and from competing on costs to competing on quality, branding and the ability to respond flexibly to market demand. Enhancing Competitiveness through Market Analysis and Compliance with Market RequirementsThe presentations focused on key factors for improving the competitiveness and market access of Viet Namese agricultural products. Experts from The University of Queensland, SGS Viet Nam and GQSP Viet Nam shared insights on export opportunities through good market analysis, market-driven requirements for compliance and traceability, and solutions for building competitive export supply chains.The presentations highlighted that access to international markets begins with a thorough understanding of customer needs and market trends. As consumers and importers increasingly demand quality, transparency and sustainability, businesses need to proactively gather market information, strengthen their capacity to comply with technical requirements, and invest in quality management systems to enhance product value and long-term competitiveness.Building Resilient Agricultural Export Value ChainsOne of the highlights of the Forum was the panel discussion entitled “Competing Beyond Borders: Building Resilient Agricultural Export Value Chains” moderated by Mr. Do Quang Huy, Senior Programme Officer at the Embassy of Switzerland.The panel brought together representatives from government agencies, exporting companies, logistics service providers and value chain experts to discuss the challenges affecting the competitiveness of Viet Nam’s agricultural exports in an increasingly volatile global environment. Panelists exchanged views on strategies for developing market opportunities, particularly in emerging markets and premium market segments; the increasing expectations of buyers and retailers regarding quality, traceability, packaging and compliance; and practical solutions to improve logistics efficiency and reduce supply chain costs. The discussion also highlighted the importance of strengthening linkages among producers, exporters, retailers and service providers, while promoting public-private partnerships to support compliance and drive export growth.Towards a Competitive and Market-Oriented Agricultural Export SystemIn the closing remarks, Ms. Dinh Thi Tam, Deputy Director General of the Viet Nam Institute of Agricultural Engineering and Post-Harvest Technology (VIAEP), stated that Export Forum 2026 introduced a new approach that places emphasis on building a competitive and market-oriented agricultural export system, rather than focusing solely on export growth or market expansion. She stressed that export success is no longer determined by individual products or cost advantages, but by the ability of the entire value chain to create value, ensure quality, improve efficiency and meet increasingly demanding market requirements. Discussions throughout the Forum reaffirmed the critical role of quality, standards, innovation, logistics, traceability and collaboration among value chain actors in enhancing the competitiveness of Viet Namese agricultural products. These will be key drivers in building a more competitive, market-oriented and sustainable agricultural export system for the future.

UNIDO launches initiative to support decarbonization of Viet Nam’s cement industry

Viet Nam’s cement sector is currently the third largest in the world and accounts for approximately 16 per cent of the country’s total greenhouse gas emissions, making its decarbonization essential to achieving the updated Nationally Determined Contribution and the 2050 net-zero commitment.Funded by the Mitigation Action Facility and implemented by UNIDO in collaboration with international partners including the International Finance Corporation, the Low Carbon Based Construction Association, the Global Cement and Concrete Association, Guidehouse Germany GmbH, and Agence Française de Développement, the project aims to unlock transformative change by addressing financial, technical, structural, regulatory and behavioural barriers across the cement sector. It was developed in close involvement of the Viet Nam Institute of Building Material and Vietnamese Cement Association, and supported by Ministries of Construction, Agriculture and Environment, and Industry and Trade, ensuring that it is designed to meet the local needs.To this end, the project will establish a tailored financial mechanism to de-risk private-sector investment, enabling the uptake of decarbonization solutions such as limestone calcined clay cement, supplementary cementitious materials and waste heat recovery systems. In parallel, the project will support an enabling framework that includes a national decarbonization roadmap, standards for low-clinker cement, carbon management tools and green public procurement.Mr. Hoang Huu Tan representing Ministry of Construction emphasized:
“This project marks an important step toward ensuring that Viet Nam can achieve its climate commitments through modern technologies, improved efficiency and an enabling policy environment. We welcome UNIDO and our international partners in supporting this critical transition.”During the workshop, participants reviewed the policy and regulatory landscape, explored technical innovation pathways and discussed financial solutions that can accelerate sectoral decarbonization in the country. Rasha Abdrabu, Industrial Development Officer at UNIDO, highlighted the project’s vision to deliver long-term, sector-wide transformation:“This initiative is designed not only to demonstrate viable decarbonization solutions, but to embed them into Viet Nam’s financial, technical and policy systems, ensuring change becomes scalable and self-sustaining. Through strong partnership with national institutions, industry and financial actors, we aim to create a clear business case for low-carbon cement and position Viet Nam as a regional leader in green industrial transition.”The project is expected to bolster Viet Nam’s broader climate and energy transition agenda, including the Viet Nam Just Energy Transition Partnership, and has strong potential for replication across the country’s cement sector and downstream construction sectors.
