Climate change is becoming increasingly complex, while economic growth, industrialization, urbanization, and the emergence of new economic sectors are driving up energy demand. In this context, Vietnam must address several closely interconnected priorities at once: ensuring energy security, sustaining economic growth, enhancing competitiveness, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and fulfilling its international commitments to sustainable development. Energy transition has therefore become a strategic issue with far-reaching implications for Vietnam’s growth model and prospects for sustainable development.
The conference proceedings “Energy Transition in Vietnam: From Policy and Finance to Technology and Applied Models” bring together eight papers that examine the interconnected dimensions of Vietnam’s energy transition. These range from institutional and policy foundations, financial and market mechanisms, technology choices and emissions-reduction solutions, to applications across socioeconomic sectors. The studies also show that no single policy instrument or solution can ensure a successful transition. What matters is the ability to develop a coherent policy system, mobilize financial resources effectively, select and integrate appropriate technologies, build the necessary infrastructure, and establish coordination mechanisms among the State, businesses, financial institutions, research organizations, and communities.
The conference’s overarching message is that the success of the energy transition should be measured not only by the pace at which the share of renewable energy grows or emissions decline, but also by the ability to build an energy system that is secure, efficient, competitive, equitable, and makes a meaningful contribution to sustainable development. To achieve this, Vietnam needs to continue strengthening its institutions, renewing its approach to policymaking, developing appropriate financial and market mechanisms, advancing research and technology applications, and expanding domestic and international cooperation.
The Editorial Board hopes that the research and academic discussions presented in these proceedings will contribute further scientific analyses, practical evidence, and policy implications for Vietnam’s energy transition. The proceedings also seek to strengthen the links between research, policymaking, and the business community, helping to advance a sustainable, inclusive, and resilient energy future.We are pleased to present these proceedings to our readers.
