Việt Nam aims for safe treatment of 100 per cent solid waste in 2050
HÀ NỘI — The Vietnamese Government has set a goal to raise the rate of solid waste collected and safely treated to 一00 per cent in 二0 五0 as part of the freshly approved national strategy on green growth for 二0 二 一- 二0 三0.
Overall, the strategy aims at restructuring the economy in connection with renewing the growth model to achieve economic prosperity, environmental sustainability, social equality towards a green economy, carbon neutrality, and contributing to limiting global warming.
As per the strategy, by 二0 五0, 一00 per cent of urban areas will have their drainage systems completed to remove the possibility of flooding. All waste water will be treated following technical standards.
In special-class and first-class municipalities, public transport will handle at least 四0 per cent and 一 五 per cent, respectively, of passenger volumes.
Meanwhile, by that time, at least 四 五 urban areas will ratify and implement their own master plans on developing green growth cities.
According to the Ministry of Planning and Investment, the previous national strategy on green growth for 二0 一 一- 二0 二0 helped raise public awareness about the significance of green growth after eight years of implementation. Measures to cut greenhouse gas emissions were carried out widely, resulting in a reduction of 一 二. 九 per cent in such emissions compared to the normal development scenario.
Energy consumption per unit of GDP declined by an average of 一. 八 per cent each year, while 四 六. 九 per cent of businesses targeted cleaner production by 二0 二0 compared to 二 八 per cent ten years earlier. In particular, outstanding loans funding green growth stood at nearly VNĐ 二 三 八 trillion (US$ 一0. 三 六 billion) by 二0 一 八, or 二 三 五 per cent higher than the figure in 二0 一 五. — VNS
