HANOI – A newly released circular provides the essential technical foundation for Vietnam’s domestic carbon market, which is scheduled for a pilot phase throughout 2026 and 2027.
The green criteria outlined in Decision 21/2025/QD-TTg are established within the broader context of international efforts to develop green classification systems—such as the EU Taxonomy Regulation and the Korea Green Taxonomy. These instruments are regarded as foundational tools for enhancing transparency in sustainable capital flows and preventing “greenwashing.”
As Vietnam accelerates its shift toward a green economy, businesses nationwide are stepping up to align growth with environmental responsibility. This transition reflects the country’s commitment to global sustainability goals and its ambition to build a resilient, future-ready economy.
