Vietnam has committed to reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 and a group of rich nations pledged to raise at least US$15.5 billion to help wean it off fossil fuels. The documents include those relating to electricity sales and purchase agreements, as well as periodic and urgent checks of plants' installation capacity.
The investigation includes cities and provinces in central Vietnam, the central highlands and the Mekong delta region, the report said.
