CCTPA proposes cooperation on green transition pillars in Con Dao
As a pioneering enterprise in carbon credit project development and green transition solutions in Vietnam, CCTPA proposed cooperation with the People’s Committee of the Con Dao Special Zone to implement a bundled project structured around key pillars.
The proposals focus on forest protection and development in connection with marine ecosystems, promoting energy transition and green infrastructure, with priority given to rooftop solar installations and the upgrading of public lighting systems across the special administrative area.
In addition, CCTPA proposed a green transport transition roadmap for the 2026–2030 period, including the electrification of public transport and logistics, alongside the development of electric vehicle charging stations and battery-swapping networks for electric motorbikes.
Solutions related to water and waste management, as well as the development of a Net Zero tourism model with the participation of local tourism enterprises, were also identified as core components.
Advancing the realization of a green and sustainable Con Dao
CCTPA’s proposals at the conference provide an important basis for the Con Dao authorities and relevant stakeholders to refine strategic directions and advance subsequent phases of assessment, piloting, and on-the-ground implementation.
Through its continued engagement with strategic localities, CCTPA reaffirms its role as a partner in carbon solutions and green transition, contributing to the realization of sustainable development and Net Zero objectives in Vietnam.
