The Vietnamese government aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 and requires the construction industry to reduce 74.3 million tons of CO2 equivalent, accounting for 13% of the country's total emissions. However, local progress in low-carbon building development has been relatively slow. Officials from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE) stated no building in Vietnam has been designed, constructed, or managed to meet net-zero emissions criteria.
