  • Gray and black water recycling
  • Energy via solar rooftop panels
  • Heat / steam sharing
  • Passive architecture

Tuesday, Nov. 29, 2022 - Waste & Sustainability

Circular economy


9:00- 10:30 - The way to a net zero factory

  •  Achieve zero waste in production by reducing byproduct consumption and introducing circular economy solutions,
  • Sharing the most impactful levers to achieve carbon neutrality,
  • This session will not address renewable energy.


10:45 - 11:30 - A vision for developing a green supply chain:  

  • Encouraging Vietnamese suppliers who are not multinationals to invest in low-carbon operations

  • Supply chain traceability empowered by digitalization


13:00 - 14:30 - Designed for circular economy – How do we make products circular:

  • How can more sustainable packaging be created? 
  •  Different ways companies are using greener materials, like biodegradable, paper, and biobased products, to reduce packaging weight and increase recycled content.
  •  Regulatory standards / norms for green initiatives to prevent greenwashing
  • Linear life cycles are common in many products. To enable circular economy in the downstream stages, how can we influence the upstream process?


14:45 - 15:45 - EPR – The law supporting circular economy:  To support the creation of a recycling industry, the EPR Law envisages the establishment of an environmental protection fund. What can we learn from European countries that have already implemented an EPR law?

Green buildings


9:00 - 11:30 - Why certify green buildings?:  At COP 26, Vietnam committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 9 percent domestically and 27 percent internationally by 2030 as per its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). This discussion will focus on:

  • Vietnam's net-zero path
  • The advantages of certification: Why is sustainability strategically undervalued?

11:30 - 12:00 - MoU Signing between Eurocham and VGBC


13:00- 15:30 - Passive architecture strategies:

  • Framework on urban design sustainability - five focus areas including energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, water quality and recharge, habitat and ecological quality, energy use and production, and equity and health.
  • Passive design in architecture strategies - In tropical zones, passive architecture combines conventional architectural principles with solar & wind energy and the inherent properties of building materials.
  • Sustainable urban landscapes - Optimizing urban form to facilitate urban flows, protecting ecosystems and human health, ensuring equal access to resources and services, and maintaining cultural and social diversity and integrity

9:30 - 10:30 - Green and sustainable production of food: There have been an impressive growth in terms of volume and value of food production from agriculture (Rice, fruits), livestock (swine, poultry, dairy) as well as aqua (shrimp, pangasius, locally consumed fish species). To further modernize the agriculture sector in Vietnam, ensure that it is greener and done so we also have a healthy sector in coming years, it is important that we take a look at greener production, investments linked to greener production and more traceability of our products.


10:45 - 11:45 - A one health food production approach: Greener and more sustainable production of food, animal feed, and crops requires an understanding of the links between environment, animal and plant health, and consumer health. This presentation will also discuss the link between a healthy animal and a healthy product.


13:00 -14:00 - Green farming systems - best C02 reduction practices: We must focus on green solutions that reduce our CO2 footprint while at the same time being innovative enough to ensure farmers' profitability is not compromised. In addition, we must pay special attention to small and medium scale farmers, as climate change will have a greater impact on their production.  

Ways out of the water crisis


9:00 -10:00 - Blue-green infrastructure (BGI) and nature-based storm water management solutions: Modern stormwater management using nature-based solutions. Extreme precipitation and heat are some of the consequences of climate change that BGI can mitigate.

Future of fuel and Green tourism


9:00 - 10:15 - Low Carbon Hydrogen: Low Carbon Hydrogen holds significant promise to help meet global energy demand while contributing to climate action goals. It has also made a much remarked appearance in the latest drafts of the PDP8 in Vietnam. This panel discussion will explore why Low Carbon Hydrogen plays an important role for Vietnam as an alternative energy and what are associated opportunities and challenges. The panelists will also share the lessons learned from other geographies, particularly Europe, on key projects, infrastructure development and ecosystems/collaborations. Finally, they will discuss key elements of the roadmap to accelerate and scale up Low Carbon Hydrogen in Vietnam.


10:30 - 11:45 - Waste to energy vs other sources (onshore wind, biomass, ways to decarbonise power):

 • Different fuels and carbon performance

• Competition for using certain fuels from other fields. Who should get it?

• Why is it so difficult to implement?

• Scope for growth in Vietnam


13:00 - 14:00 - Solutions for Green and Sustainable TourismEach of the speakers to give examples of their company strategy and implementation of green and sustainable solutions adopted by them. Why did they do that. How did they approach the topic. What were the issues. What the solutions. How their customers and the marketer reacted to that. Was there a cost or revenue benefit to that.

Climate fresk 


8:30 - 11:30 - Climate fresk is meant to raise awareness during an event. All the Fresk cards are already placed on a vertical support with a cover in front. The person in charge must then "snap" passers-by and invite them to ask themselves questions about climate change, and illustrate their point live by removing the covers in front of the appropriate cards.

Student competition - Demo Day


8:30 - 13:30

  • Welcome participants and breakfast
  • Opening - Program intro and ice-breaker
  • Guest speech on sustainability, innovation & entrepreneurship

  • Pitch and Q&A
  • Announcement of winners
  • Closing remarks

13:00 - 14:30 - Digital entrepreneurship & climate change with GIZPeople experience climate change differently depending on where they live. Like many countries in the global south with low-lying coastal regions, Vietnam is threatened by rising sea levels, typhoons, and floods that could have disastrous consequences for its ecosystem, economy, and wellbeing. Green technologies must be developed and adopted by the government, state-owned enterprises, private businesses, and entrepreneurs in Vietnam to mitigate climate change. However, Vietnamese green technology suffers from a lack of entrepreneurs and funding.


The panel discussion will discuss ways to promote green tech startups in Vietnam. In the research sprint on "Green Technology, Entrepreneurship & Climate," we'll explore the obstacles facing Vietnamese green technology entrepreneurs and what inhibits or encourages investment.  

14:00 - 15:00
