Green technology application policies for sustainable development: international experiences and lessons for Vietnam

Tóm tắt

On a global scale, science, technology and innovation (STI) are expected to play an important role in realizing sustainable development goals (SDGs). However, in reality, STI has not been closely linked to the SDGs, as shown by the fact that most research and innovation efforts do not focus on sustainability. This article examines the experiences of three countries: China, India, and Malaysia. Lessons learned from these countries show the need for a comprehensive green technology program, and financial and non-financial support policies from the state to promote research and development (R&D), raise public awareness, and flexibly adapt to the domestic context. They are the key elements for Vietnam to promote green technology application, towards long-term sustainable development.
