In recent years, the Party and State have paid great attention to promoting green economy, circular economy and sustainable development. Thereby, many policies have been issued to orient economic development towards sustainability, environmental protection, climate change adaptation, improving investment quality and efficiency, and focusing on attracting high-quality projects. However, in reality in Vietnam, the trend of green economic development is only at the starting point, the green economic development process is still lacking in synchronization and facing barriers in terms of capital, human resources, science and technology resources... In the face of environmental and social consequences, from developing the brown economy, countries have gradually shifted to a green economy - an economy that cares about happiness, social justice and the environment in addition to economic goals. Vietnam is no exception to this trend. Green economic development has been of interest to the Party and the State since the early years of the Doi Moi period and has achieved certain successes. However, the construction of a green economy in Vietnam still faces many limitations due to many reasons, such as: lack of capital resources, labor quality, science and technology level not meeting requirements... This poses synchronous and long-term solutions with each specific step towards a green economy. The article reflects the current situation and solutions for green economic development in Vietnam.
