Experience in attracting green FDI in some Asian countries and implications for Vietnam

Green foreign direct investment (FDI) is when foreign investors inject clean technologies, practices, projects, and capital into a host country. This type of investment aims to support development and tackle issues like pollution, climate change, and resource depletion. In Vietnam, in recent years, it has been evident that alongside the positive contributions and the demand for "greening" FDI, there are still many FDI projects that have negative impacts on the environment. In this context, green FDI is an inevitable investment trend. The paper discusses the experiences of some Asian countries in attracting green FDI, thereby providing some implications for Vietnam.
