Specifically, by 2025, the target is to reduce emissions by 3.4 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent, and by 10.61 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent by 2030. — VNA
HANOI: The Transport Ministry (MoT) recently issued a decision outlining plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector through 2030.
The plan aims to implement measures to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, contributing to Vietnam’s ‘Unconditional Contribution’ target in its Nationally Determined Contributions – commitments made by countries to reduce emissions under the Paris Agreement – by 2030.
This includes a 5.9% reduction in GHG emissions compared to the business-as-usual scenario, corresponding to a reduction of 45.62 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent.
Specifically, by 2025, the target is to reduce emissions by 3.4 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent, and by 10.61 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent by 2030.
According to statistics from the MoT, from 2014 to 2021, the five transport sectors of road, rail, inland waterway, aviation and maritime emitted over 44.2 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent. — Viet Nam News/ANN
