Cơ hội Đầu tư vào Cơ sở Hạ tầng Xanh VIỆT NAM 2019 REPORT

The report outlines Vietnam's need for approximately 31 billion USD by 2020 to meet its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) and transition to a sustainable economy. It highlights a significant gap in infrastructure investment, estimating a 102 billion USD shortfall by 2040 if current spending trends continue. The document analyzes four primary sectors for green investment: renewable energy, low-carbon transport, sustainable water management, and sustainable waste management. It details the emergence of green finance in Vietnam, including the issuance of 27 million USD in municipal green bonds by Ho Chi Minh City and Ba Ria-Vung Tau, and the introduction of Decree 163/2018/ND-CP to provide a legal framework for corporate green bonds. The report also provides a list of 40 exemplary green projects and suggests policy actions, such as issuing sovereign green bonds and implementing climate risk disclosures, to attract private and international capital.

• Vietnam requires significant funding to meet its climate goals, with an estimated 31 billion USD needed by 2020 to transition to a sustainable path and meet its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC).
• There is a projected infrastructure investment gap of 102 billion USD by 2040 based on current government spending trends, despite Vietnam allocating over 6% of its GDP to infrastructure.
• Vietnam's green bond market is in its early stages, with a total issuance value of 27 million USD, primarily driven by municipal bonds from Ho Chi Minh City and Ba Ria-Vung Tau.
• Decree 163/2018/ND-CP, issued on December 4, 2018, serves as the first legal framework to regulate the issuance of corporate green bonds in Vietnam.
• The energy sector is expected to be the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, potentially accounting for 86% of total net emissions by 2030 under a business-as-usual scenario.
• Vietnam's renewable energy targets include increasing the share of renewable energy production to 7% by 2020 and 10% by 2030.
• The transport sector is becoming the highest emitter of greenhouse gases in Vietnam, representing approximately 18% of CO2 emissions in 2014.
• Vietnam faces severe water infrastructure challenges, with only 10% of rural and 61% of urban households having access to clean water as of 2015.
• Waste management is a critical issue, with Vietnam producing over 28 million tons of waste annually, and GHG emissions from waste projected to reach 48 million tons of CO2e by 2030.
• The report recommends that the Vietnamese government issue sovereign green bonds to demonstrate commitment and provide a liquid asset to encourage further private investment in green strategies.
