From now until the end of 2027, the country will put forward regulations on the management of carbon credits, the exchange of GHG emission quotas and carbon credits, and the operation of a carbon credit exchange.
It will also carry out a pilot mechanism for exchanging and balancing carbon credits in potential areas, guide the implementation of the domestic and international carbon credit exchange and balance mechanisms in accordance with laws and international conventions to which Vietnam is a signatory.
Activities to raise capacity and awareness of carbon market development will be stepped up during this period.
The carbon trade exchange is expected to be put into official operation in 2028.
