Eco-Industrial Park Initiative for Sustainable Industrial Zones in Vietnam

This publication introduce the project “Implementation of Eco – industrial park initiative for sustainable industrial zones in Vietnam” has been implemented by the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI) and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) since October 2014 in pilot industrial zones: Khanh Phu & Gian Khau (Ninh Binh), Hoa Khanh (Da Nang) and Tra Noc 1&2 (Can Tho). The project aims at increasing transfer, deployment and diffusion of clean and low-carbon technologies, minimization of GHG emissions, POPs releases and water pollutants as well as improved water-efficiency and sound management of chemicals.

The project promotes and supports the gradual transformation of industrial zones into eco-industrial parks. In parallel, it also raises enterprise awareness on making optimum use of natural resources and minimizing environmental pollution.

 Eco-Industrial Parks Vietnam: Stakeholder analysis and development roadmap

Over 25 years of establishment and development, Industrial Parks (IPs) and Economic Zones (EZs) in Viet Nam have promoted their active role and contributed to socioeconomic growth and the process of industrialization and modernization of the country. The state management apparatus is gradually improving, with a view to meeting the demand of developing IPs and EZs towards the Eco-Industrial Parks (EIPs). If existing IPs are to be successfully transformed into EIPs, a detailed roadmap needs to be developed. The roadmap is proposed with medium periods that include 2019-2020, 2020- 2025 and post-2025. This proposed roadmap would support the development of a stable society, green economy and sustainable industrial development of Viet Nam.

 

Handbook on How to access green financing in Vietnam

Eco-Industrial Parks Vietnam:Socio – Economic requirements  – A review of international and Vietnamese experiences

“In recent years, the transformation of traditional IPs to more environmentally friendly models has attracted the attention of governments and international organizations around the world.
