Vietnam must have more green buildings: Ministry of Construction
The Ministry of Construction reports that the nation presently possesses over 400 green buildings, with a total floor space of almost 10 million square meters. The number of green buildings in the country is roughly on par with other nations in the ASEAN region; however, it is still inadequate to meet Vietnam’s commitment to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. Hence, Vietnam must have more green buildings.
By 2030, it is projected that Vietnam’s urban population will rise to 45 percent, necessitating the construction of approximately 70 million square meters of urban housing annually. Consequently, the construction sector will play a significant role in reducing emissions. This underscores the urgent need to advance green construction practices, which will significantly support sustainable economic development.
