Currently, 137 countries, representing 88% of the world's total emissions (including major emitters such as the US, India, China, etc.), have committed to or are moving towards the Net Zero goal, aiming for zero net emissions. Dong Nai province, located in the Southeast region, is the country's fourth-largest economy. The province has over 53,000 active businesses, with more than 1,500 FDI projects and over 1,000 domestic investment projects. Dong Nai is also one of the top five provinces contributing the most to the national budget and is pursuing sustainable development and green growth goals.

In addition to management solutions, workforce training is also recommended by experts. Therefore, localities need to pay attention to and develop low-carbon workforce training early to meet the requirements of mandatory annual carbon auditing for businesses.

According to the experts, Vietnam has become a focal point in regional supply chain localization, especially during the transition period of artificial intelligence and green economy.

At the workshop, SaigonTel and its partners presented detailed proposals related to the Green Industrial Park project in Long An. According to Saigontel, the construction of the Green Industrial Park in Long An is expected to be implemented in three phases: the Eco-Industrial Park; Carbon Neutral Industrial park; and Net Zero Carbon Industrial Park. The industrial park is expected to attract both domestic and foreign investors in the green industry, creating a safe and friendly working and living environment for workers, while also contributing to environmental protection and minimizing the negative impacts of industrial activities. The project is expected to bring about an advanced, environmentally friendly industrial development model, thereby promoting Long An province's socio-economic development. Saigontel's industrial park model received significant attention and high praise from organizations, businesses, and experts at the workshop. 

The valuable experiences and lessons learned from developed countries on carbon emission reduction at the workshop have raised awareness among officials, civil servants, organizations, businesses, and the public about climate change.
