Buildings are responsible for 40% of carbon emissions—more than food or transportation. In addition, buildings use most of the natural materials harvested permanently from the earth. We are now realising how man-made activity impacts our planet and we must find ways to build responsibly for the future. 

Vietnam is in a building boom. Many new buildings in Vietnam are built inappropriately for its climate. But Vietnamese people have always embraced circular economy. Increase in GDP threatens this tradition by encouraging us to discard materials and products and replace with new. This talk shows how we can embrace both new and old in the built environment for a better planet and for clear economic benefit.

Businesses, governments, and citizens worldwide increasingly recognize the challenges from the traditional “take-make-dispose” approach to production and consumption. In 2019, over 92 billion tonnes of discarded materials made about half of global CO2 emissions.

Circular economy, which promotes the elimination of waste and the safe use of natural resources, offers an alternative up to $4.5 trillion in business opportunities to 2030. This is a strategic direction and business opportunities for governments, enterprises, and citizens.

Today, 8.6% of the world is circular, and Vietnam could be much less, still a long way to go! Many ongoing initiatives can be shared and learned quickly to speed up this transformation. We expect this sharing will enable new ideas for Vietnam!
