The class on green transformation and sustainable economy attracted great interest from US students
Accordingly, the lecturer provided new information on the Net Zero 2050 program. This environmental goal aims to reduce human-caused greenhouse gas emissions (such as CO2, CH4, N2O) to a level balanced with the Earth's ability to absorb or eliminate these emissions, ultimately reducing net emissions to zero.
In reality, many businesses in Vietnam have started to innovate and transform their operations and business models towards sustainability and environmental friendliness. This indicates that adaptability is a critical priority. Additionally, actions such as structural reforms to encourage farmers and businesses, as well as mobilizing carbon pricing finance, need to be implemented.
