Section 3 explains the country's environmental policy, legislation, administrative structure, and other related matters. Sections 4 through 6 provide information about the scheme and content of the country's specific environmental regulations designed to deal with water pollution, air pollution, and industrial waste, which are the country's principal environmental challenges and at the same time the problems against which Japanese companies are required to take countermeasures. Finally, Section 7 describes the process of environmental impact assessment required to be performed prior to building industrial plants or other facilities. In addition, Appendix 1 in the references at the end of this report carries the whole text of the Law on Environmental Protection, which was put into effect in January 1994 and constitutes the basis for Vietnam's environmental policy.

  • Trade and Sustainable Development in Vietnam
    Trade and Sustainable Development in Vietnam IISD is producing this paper as part of its capacity building program for developing countries on the issues of trade and sustainable development – the Trade Knowledge Network Project. This work was carried out with the aid of a grant from the International Development Research Centre, Ottawa, Canada. The full version of this research, and the work of other members of the Trade Knowledge Network, is available on IISDnet at http://iisd.ca/tkn/default.htm. The Knowledge Networks Project aims to build capacity in developing countries to address the issues of trade and sustainable development. It consists of three main areas of work: domestic-level research and workshops on the linkages between trade and sustainable development at the local and international levels; additional research on cross-cutting themes of interest to developing country policy-makers; and the linking of developing country research institutions in a trade and sustainable development knowledge network. For more information on the Trade Knowledge Network Project, see http://iisd.ca/tkn/default.htm, or contact IISD at [email protected]. IISD contributes to sustainable development by advancing policy recommendations on international trade and investment, economic instruments, climate change, measurement and indicators, and natural resource management. Using Internet communications, we report on international negotiations and broker knowledge gained through collaborative projects with global partners, resulting in more rigorous research, capacity building in developing countries and better dialogue between North and South.

  • 2020 Tobacco Industry Interference Index
    VIETNAM 2020 TOBACCO INDUSTRY INTERFERENCE INDEX Background and Introduction Vietnam is one of the few countries with the highest rates of adult male smoking (45%). Annually, more than 40,000 deaths from tobacco-related diseases and the number will increase to 70,000 cases per year in 2030 if Vietnam fails to implement strong and effective tobacco control measures.1 The dominant component of the tobacco industry (TI) in Vietnam is state-owned. It belongs to the central government, Ministry of Finance and the communist party. The world’s three biggest transnational tobacco companies have invested and operate in Vietnam through a joint venture and partnership with local companies in production and distribution of their tobacco products. These include: British American Tobacco (BAT), Phillip Morris International (PMI) and Japan Tobacco International (JTI). Overall, Vietnam National Tobacco Corporation (VINATABA) dominates the cigarette market share with 60.5%, followed by BAT Vietnam (23%), Imperial Tobacco (8%), PMI (3.5%), JTI and all other companies have a combined share of 5% in 2018 (Figure 1).2 Vietnam has made much progress in implementing tobacco control measures according to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) and in reducing smoking prevalence. However, tobacco industry interference is a problem that challenges and impedes the progress of strengthening of policies to protect public health. This TI Interference IndeX is a civil society report assessing the implementation of FCTC Article 5.3 on the protection of public health policies with respect to tobacco control from commercial and other vested interests of the tobacco industry and its guideline in Vietnam.

Although the 29 government has proclaimed a commitment to protecting the country’s ecosys- 30111 tems, workers, and urban environments, and has recently created national 31 environmental institutions and provincial enforcement agencies, Vietnam 32 continues to experience problems in the implementation of its environmental 33 laws. A lack of funds, trained personnel, and political influence severely 34 constrain the effectiveness of state environmental agencies. More importantly, 35 contradictions and conflicts within the state – between developmentalist and 36 environmental concerns – create disincentives for enforcement of environmental 37 regulations. 38 39 40111 The Environmental State Under Pressure, Volume 10, pages 221–244.
