In 2014, emitting sectors of Viet Nam’s greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) are led by the energy and agriculture sectors,
responsible for more than 90% of the country’s GHG emissions. However, it is important to note that the land use,
land use change and forestry sector (LULUCF) had a net-negative emission on that same year.
Viet Nam has several action plans and programs related to climate change mitigation and adaptation. Both launched in 2022, the Methane Emission Reduction Action Plan to 2030 and the Action Program on Green Energy Transition and Reduction of Carbon Dioxide and Methane Emissions of the Transport Sectors encourages the reduction of methane emissions and increase of green vehicles. Other than that, the country also has their National Action Program on Sustainable Production and Consumption 2021-2030 to decrease resource and materials used for production sectors, as well as improving and implementing legal policies.

Coal is the main energy used in TPES, followed by oil and traditional biomass. Almost all types of energy use in TPES have been increasing gradually since 2005 and hence the increase of TPES.
Oil and coal are the main consumers of the TFEC followed by traditional biomass and electricity. Each type of energy source has been in an increment trend since 2006, and hence the TFEC.
Viet Nam has increased its emissions reduction target from 9% unconditionally and 27% conditionally in 2020 to 15.8% unconditionally and 43.5% conditionally in 2022 in the energy, agriculture, LULUCF, waste, and industrial processes sectors.
