Steering committee seeks solutions to realise green growth targetsThe national steering committee for green growth should work out specific solutions to realise green growth targets based on the country’s socio-economic conditions, Deputy Prime Minister and head of the committee Tran Hong Ha said at the committee’s first meeting on May 30. He also instructed that ministries and sectors urgently build sets of tools and binding standards to classify and assess green growth, while additional investment should be ensured for the transition from the traditional growth model to green growth. Besides green growth, Deputy PM Ha noted the important role of the digital economy in leading green and sustainable growth. However, Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Thi Bich Ngoc said green growth in Vietnam is facing challenges posed by an inconsistent legal corridor, the lack of a national green growth standard system which hinders the building of support mechanism and policies for green growth projects. Ho Chi Minh City athletes who won gold, silver and bronze medals also have an additional level of talent incentives.
