Within the framework of the project “Implementation of Eco – industrial park initiative for sustainable industrial zones in Vietnam” ,on June 1 and 2, 2018, Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI)  in coordination with the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) organized a training “New policy and technical guidelines for Eco-Industrial Park in Vietnam” .

After 25 years of establishment, industrial zones (IZs) in Vietnam still remain an old model. In addition, the industrialization process and development of IZs poses threats to environment and natural resources, which reduces their competitiveness in international market. Thus, construction and transformation of existing industrial zones into eco-industrial parks are the right solutions, ensuring green growth and sustainable development.

The first session introduced about overview of International framework, International good practice and their learning ; overview of ecological and industrial park initiatives, implementation process – results achieved and project implementation plan in 2018 .Speakers in the next two sessions introduced about  new decree  82/2018/ND-CP  has been approved by the Vietnamese Government related to Eco-Industrial Park (EIP) in Vietnam
