Sustainability assessment of the strategic transition of Vietnam by 2050

Abstract

Sustainability transition is an essential movement to mitigate climate change and guide humanity toward a sustainable development scene. The core of transition revolves around energy production, where energy sources are considered and assessed in a complex set of criteria that varies among multilevel perspectives. Vietnam is experiencing a major transition and is expected to dominate the renewable fields under the driving forces of the COP 26 and its own strategic sustainable development. Renewable energy is the trend for global sustainability transition, but does not confirm the sustainability. The sustainability is achieved by two essential components, a long-term strategy and the satisfactory of sustainable criteria. The mutual benefits or conflicts among environmental, social and economic criteria act as the push and pull factors respectively. The ethical decision in weighing benefits and risks existed within a solution ultimately defining how sustainable a strategy practically led to.
