Abstract

\"This research introduces green growth, an approach that is more specific than the sustainable development approach. Based on OECD analyses of green growth, the research selects some measuring indicators used for assessing the green growth in Vietnam and then suggests some implications for policies on this approach. Research results show that Vietnam is facing great challenges in building a green growth model. There are falls in efficiency of employment of factor inputs, increases in waste and pollutants, along with exhaustion of natural resources and environmental degradation caused by industrialization. Amid the discouraging picture are several encouraging facts: falls in pollutants emitted by agricultural production, increased afforestation, improvements in hygienic conditions and supply of fresh water, and introduction of legislation on environmental protection. Policy implication from this research is that emphasis should be put on a combination of various instruments, public participation and international support to\nachieve the green growth.\"
