The Net Zero journey to reduce net-zero emissions by 2050 started with many concrete actions, including the "Clean Energy - Green Earth" program
First steps on the road to carbon neutrality
Vietnam is one of the countries most affected by climate change due to the increase in CO2 in the air. At COP26 (Scotland – UK), Vietnam pledged to address the environmental crisis, setting a target to reduce methane emissions by 30% by 2030 and reduce emissions to net zero by 2050.
Therefore, the Net Zero journey to the finish line must be based on sustainable CO2 reductions from energy-intensive companies in the transport, industrial and power generation sectors. The Vietnamese government has also set up a mechanism to encourage companies to switch from fossil fuels to the use of renewable energy and green energy,…

Clean energy communication activities are also promoted not only by companies, but also by the community. As an organization accompanying Vietnam on its journey to carbon neutrality, GIZ's Energy Support Programme (ESP) has supported clean energy communication through the project "Clean, Affordable Energy and Energy Security for Southeast Asian Countries" (CASE).

Clean Energy Awareness
The "Clean Energy – Green Earth" event organized by the CASE project in collaboration with the Hoan Kiem District People's Committee and Vietnam Electricity on Ho Kiem Pedestrian Street, Hanoi on March 25 attracted the attention of many people.
The event offers interactive activities to learn about clean energy, renewable energy through games, Q&A with experts... attract a large number of participants.
Nhat Minh (Hanoi) said: "In schools, we also do propaganda about environmental protection. However, when I come here, I have a better understanding of the actions I can take every day to contribute to the Net Zero Vietnam goal.

Over the past 10 years, the Energy Support Programme of the German Organisation for International Cooperation (ESP) has been striving to support Vietnam's just energy transition through activities to support the improvement of the legal framework and capacity building, creating a premise for the development of renewable energy. equitable energy efficiency in Vietnam".

Take action today
Global warming has caused a lot of damage to humans such as flooded pipes, flash floods, storms, droughts.
Creating a green land with clean energy requires the cooperation of the community. Because a lot of small actions will make a big difference. According to Mr. Vo Quang Lam, Deputy General Manager of EVN, the electricity saved in one hour in response to Earth Hour is about 400,000 kWh, but the importance of this event does not stop at the numbers, but at the change in the community's awareness and actions on energy saving. environmental protection.
Children, future generations in the Net Zero journey, took part in interactive activities to explore the meaning of "Clean Energy - Green Earth" (Image: GIZ).
By introducing the theme of renewable energy, economical and efficient use of energy in the event "Clean Energy - Green Earth", GIZ and CASE hope that the Net Zero pathway will reach more people, so that every individual is more aware of their responsibility in achieving national goals as well as in mitigating climate change.
