This year, the week aims to realise Vietnam’s commitments announced at the 26th UN Climate Change Conference (COP26).

According to the Ministry of Construction, the Vietnam Green Building Week 2022 will be an open and prestigious forum that connects more than 1,200 policy-makers and representatives of construction businesses, industry-leading architects and design professionals, as well as suppliers of building materials, equipment and technology.
The week will include a plenary session and three thematic discussions on experience in green building planning and development as well as sustainable urban construction, contributing to realising Vietnam's commitments at COP26.

According to the nation’s update on the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), Vietnam commits to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 9% by 2030, and this can be further brought to 27% with international support through cooperation and mechanisms under the Paris Agreement.
