15 May 2026
As the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment is conducting broad consultations on the Draft Law Amending and Supplementing Several Articles of the Law on Environmental Protection, Vietnam's sustainable development story is once again placed at the center of policymaking. As the economy enters a phase of rapid growth, deeper integration, and a new wave of investment, pressure on the environment has increased significantly - from domestic pollution and the risk of importing outdated technologies to cross-border environmental challenges. At the same time, the requirement to fulfill international commitments such as the Paris Agreement and the Net Zero emissions target demands that Vietnam rapidly transition to a low-carbon development model, promoting a green and circular economy.

[Research Contribution] Do luxury brands in fashion industry have to trade-off for sustainability?
08 May 2026
The luxury factor is often associated with high cost, rarity, and sometimes ostentatious consumption. Meanwhile, sustainability is associated with moderation, responsibility, and consideration of environmental impact. So, can these seemingly opposing concepts coexist in the high-end fashion industry?
