PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The objective of the Project is to promote circular economy approaches in industries, to mitigate the climate impact of industries and to help the industrial parks to adapt to the negative consequences of climate change by continuing to facilitate the uptake of Eco-Industrial Park approaches in scaling up resource productivity, minimizing waste, promoting recycling and improving economic, environmental and social performances of businesses, thereby contributing to inclusive and sustainable industrial development in a circular economy. With basic capacity building and EIP piloting undertaken by MPI and UNIDO in the previous phase, the Project will create a favourable environment for replication of EIP approaches and CE implementation across the country. The upscaling of EIP approaches will result in enhanced productivity of industries as well as in a reduction of their greenhouse gas emissions and enhanced resilience of industry to climate change.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Switzerland State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) is the main donor of the project. As of 2025, the Viet Nam Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI) has been merged with the Ministry of Finance.
