NGOs and businesses encouraged to develop green growth

08/10/2011

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the business community should be encouraged to participate in the development of green growth.

Vietnamese Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Tran Hong Ha emphasized this at the closing of the ASEM forum on green growth in Hanoi on October 4.

Ha said the role of the governments of Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) member countries should be promoted for introducing policies on green growth that comply with the general trends and international institutions.
He also proposed an action plan giving top priority to completing global and regional institutions and policies as well as mechanisms to strengthen bilateral and multilateral cooperation related to green growth including a “green climate fund” and a “clean development mechanism”
.
According to Ha, barriers preventing the popularization and transfer of green technologies among ASEM nations and between ASEM and the rest of the world should be removed.

In addition, he said developed ASEM nations should help the less-developed train human resources in green economy in order to achieve the green growth target and sustainable development.

The two-day event provided a comprehensive overview of green growth in Asia and Europe with focus on models applied in ASEM member nations, experiences and practical lessons, creating relevant global and regional policies, and measures to boost green growth in ASEM member nations.

Presenters at the forum also analysed advantages and disadvantages of countries of different development level in pursuing the development of green growth and green economy.
