[INVITATION] DECARBONISING BUILDINGS FOR A NET-ZERO VIETNAM - WHAT'S NEXT AND HOW FAST?
As Vietnam embraces the global movement toward sustainability, the focus has shifted from ‘why’ to ‘how’ we can decarbonise buildings and accelerate our journey to a net-zero future. Questions like where to start, how to scale up best practice, and which strategies are most cost-effective are now at the forefront.
Join global experts from Hong Kong, Australia, and other leading markets, along with Vietnam's green building leaders, to explore tailored solutions that can help our nation reduce emissions and build sustainably. We will delve into Hong Kong's climate change framework for the built environment, learn from practical case studies, and define a clear, actionable roadmap for Vietnam’s green building industry.
