Australia-Vietnam Green Economy Program
Australia and Vietnam have shared ambitions to realise opportunities within the green economy. The Australia-Vietnam Green Economy Program, an initiative led by Asialink and Climateworks Centre and supported by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, aims to foster collaboration between government and business in the green economy. The project will do this by developing knowledge products, enabling connections, enhancing business capabilities and facilitating government-to-government dialogue. The project is dedicated to harnessing the green economy’s potential, focusing on sustainable development, the creation of jobs and growth and the transition to a net-zero economy powered by renewable resources. It will include a series of insightful briefing papers and roundtables, culminating in a capstone summit and a training academy.

Net Zero Momentum Tracker
Accountable for a high percentage of national emissions, the corporate sector must rapidly decarbonise if we are to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. As momentum across the sector increases and more companies make net zero commitments, getting them right is more important now than ever. Established in 2019, Climateworks’ Net Zero Momentum Tracker initiative collated and assessed the climate commitments of companies accountable for almost 70 per cent of Australia’s national emissions. The initiative aimed to provide clarity around corporate commitments and encourage corporations to increase their climate ambition in line with a pathway aligned with limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (1.5°C), mitigating the worst effects of climate change.

As our trading partners decarbonise and countries and companies set goals for net zero emissions by 2050, the ability of Australia’s industrial sectors to transition is significant for the Australian economy and the country’s ability to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.
