Vietnam to Launch First Domestic Carbon Exchange on June 29, 2026

Vietnam is set to launch its first domestic carbon exchange on June 29, 2026, marking a key step in developing a carbon market and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The exchange is expected to accelerate the country's transition to a low-carbon economy by enabling trading of carbon credits and supporting emission reduction projects. This move aligns with broader Southeast Asian efforts to monetize carbon reductions and attract climate finance. The exchange will likely start with voluntary credits before moving to compliance trading, though specific rules and eligible sectors have not been detailed yet. Observers will watch for pricing mechanisms and how the exchange integrates with international carbon markets.
