The event was jointly organized by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the State Bank of Viet Nam (SBV).

Funded by the Government of Japan through the Japan Fund for Prosperous and Resilient Asia and the Pacific (JFPR), the initiative aims to strengthen green banking practices and enhance the capacity of Viet Nam's banking sector to scale up green and climate finance.

The workshop introduced the project's implementation plan and featured sessions sharing both international experience and practical insights on Viet Nam's evolving green banking landscape.

The event gathered more than 80 participants from SBV, relevant ministries and agencies, development partners, commercial banks, and business associations. Discussions covered key topics such as climate risk assessment, macroeconomic impacts of carbon pricing, the role of credit institutions in carbon market development, and green bond issuance.

Participants also exchanged perspectives on Viet Nam's green taxonomy and identified next steps to help the banking sector advance sustainable and transition finance./.
