The event was within the framework of a macro-economic reform and green growth facilitation project funded by the German Government via the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ).
Deputy Director of the Central Institute for Economic Management (CIEM) Nguyen Hoa Cuong called for proposing policies and orientations to incorporating sustainable development and green growth goals into provincial-level socio-economic development plan for each year and for the 2021-2025 period.
Tran Trung Hieu from the CIEM’s research department for social affairs presented major results of the research, focusing on sustainable development goals involving children, women and green growth.
Accordingly, social welfare will be enhanced for people of all ages; a sustainable, comprehensive and continuous economic growth will be guaranteed; and empowerment for women and girls will be increased.
About green growth, goals comprise green industrial production, greenhouse gas emission in agriculture and green lifestyle.
He said there remains a lack of legal framework for socio-economic development planning work.
Deputy head of the Ministry of Planning and Investment’s Department of Science, Education, Natural Resources and Environment Nguyen Thi Dieu Trinh suggested pooling international and private financial resources and updating knowledge on green growth.
Participants shared the view that specific goals should be chosen and a budget is needed to fulfil set goals.
