Abstract

Green growth is the current development trend of countries in general and Vietnam in particular, aiming to effectively use natural resources, contribute to poverty alleviation and create a driving force for sustainable economic development. The development of economic zone (EZ) and industrial parks (IPs) in Thanh Hoa has contributed significantly to attracting investment, developing the local economy, creating jobs, and social security. However, the development of these zones also creates consequences on environmental pollution and inefficient use of local resources. This article provides a picture of the current development situation of EZ and IPs in Thanh Hoa, as well as solutions to develop them in the direction of Green growth.
