[Ngo Climate Change] Invitation for Panel Discussion on Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism and Vietnam Carbon Market

[Anh Tuấn]

Dear CCWG members,

Kindly find below the invitation to the Panel Discussion on Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism and Vietnam Carbon Market

-----

In July 2021, The European Union introduced the “Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism” (CBAM) to reduce Carbon leakage of goods and product manufactured in countries with losen environmental regulations when exporting to Europe based on its current Emission Trading System (ETS). Initially, CBAM is proposed to apply to five sectors including Steel, Aluminum, Fertilizer, Cement, and Electricity. Will the CBAM affect Vietnam’s export to the EU under the EU Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA)?

Under the revised Law on Environmental Protection (2020), Decree 06/2022/NĐ-CP on Reducing Green House Gases (GHGs) emissions and protecting the ozone layer mandate the Ministry of Natural Resouces and Environment (MONRE) to develop a carbon market for Vietnam which will be operated officially in 2028. How does Vietnam’s Carbon Market work? Does the establishment of the Vietnam’s Carbon Market align with the CBAM to envigorate Vietnam's position in the international arena? What are the opportunities and challenges of your business in the given context?

Please join our panel discussion to have answers for CBAM and Vietnam’s Carbon Market from our experts.
