A workshop in the central city of Da Nang on March 4 sought an action
plan to help its industrial park firms develop under the low carbon
emission model.
The pilot project, the first of its kind in Vietnam, is funded by the UK’s Foreign Ministry with some 900 million VND (42,800 USD) for the 2013-2014 period, benefiting enterprises based in Da Nang’s seafood service industrial zone and Lien Chieu industrial park.
It is expected to provide in-house firms with tools to use energy effectively, monitor greenhouse emissions, recycle waste and launch effective links with management agencies, as part of efforts to realise Da Nang’s goal of becoming an environmentally-friendly city by 2020.
If successful, the model will reach out to other industrial zones across the nation.
The event was co-hosted by the UK’s Foreign Ministry, the Asia Foundation, the Institute for Industrial Policy and Strategy and the municipal Department of Natural Resources and Environment-VNA
