Scoping Study on Australian Engagement in Energy & Climate Change Sectors in Vietnam

Client: Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade

Implementing partners: ANU Energy Change Institute's Grand Challenge: Zero- Carbon Energy for the Asia-Pacific (ZEACAP)

Australia is a world leader in the sustainable energy transition, and its long-standing bilateral partnership with Vietnam offers an opportunity to leverage its experience to support Vietnam in the energy transition. Ensuring the renewable energy successes of the 2019-2020 scale would require strategic, innovative use of policy and market tools if they are to constructively reshape the macroeconomic patterns of Vietnam’s industrial fossil-fuel economy. We supported DFAT in Vietnam to design an energy support program for the Vietnamese Government that leverages Australia’s world-leading expertise in the renewable energy transition to strengthen the transition of the Vietnamese power sector towards decarbonisation and green growth.
