Project Description
The Development of a Comprehensive Green Growth Plan for Da Nang City (SUEEP Phase 3) supports the city government’s ambition to become an environmental and sustainable urban leader in Vietnam. Built upon previous phases of the Sustainable Urban Energy and Emissions Planning (SUEEP) Program, Phase 3 focuses on operationalizing Da Nang’s vision through a long-term, sustainable energy and emissions plan. Supported by the World Bank and other partners, the plan aims to align with international standards for green growth and urban sustainability, covering key urban sectors such as transport, buildings, waste, water, and energy.
Objectives, Activities and Results
The primary objective of SUEEP Phase 3 is to create a technically and financially viable green growth roadmap for Da Nang City, integrating energy efficiency and emissions reductions into urban development. Key activities include preparing a city-wide energy and emissions baseline, developing a monitoring and reporting framework, and compiling a pipeline of bankable green infrastructure projects in an investment prospectus. These projects—potentially funded through public-private partnerships—reflect the city’s green growth vision and are aligned with the SUEEP Guidebook. The initiative strengthens institutional arrangements for energy governance and lays the groundwork for future clean energy investments such as landfill gas harvesting and decentralized energy generation.
