Abstract

At COP26, Vietnam pledged to reach Net-zero (NZ) emissions by 2050. To support this goal, this study introduces a model for developing local NZ pathways, with a focus on the energy sector—the largest source of emissions. It assesses the potential of renewable energy, forest carbon sinks, transport electrification, and energy efficiency to shape region-specific plans. Tay Ninh province, known for its high solar potential, and Quang Tri, rich in forest carbon sinks, are examined as case studies to demonstrate the differences in NZ pathways in solar-dominant and forest-dominant provinces. Based on the findings, feasible NZ scenarios and policy recommendations are proposed to guide local action, contributing meaningfully to Vietnam's national NZ roadmap.
