The paper highlights that current reform efforts need to be significantly accelerated to meet the ambitious targets of the Green Growth Strategy and for Viet Nam to move towards a more inclusive and sustainable growth trajectory. Fossil fuel fiscal policy reform requires comprehensive energy sector reform, pricing reform and a communication and consultation strategy to solicit broad based support for reform. Measures will also be required to protect the poor and vulnerable and the most affected businesses from higher energy prices.

Green Growth and Fossil Fuel Fiscal Policies in Viet Nam – Recommendations on a Roadmap for Policy Reform is based on research by many national research partners and international experts, and has benefitted from an extensive dialogue with major stakeholders including affected households, businesses, development partners and policy makers.
