It is the third largest AMS by population, accounted to 16.3% of the total ASEAN population.
The majority of population works in the agricultural sector.
Coal is the main energy use in TPES, followed by oil and traditional biomass.
Oil and coal are the main consumer of the TFEC followed by traditional biomass and electricity.

Vietnam, with over 93.67 million[1] inhabitants in 2017, is the third largest ASEAN member state by population. The majority of Vietnam’s population works in the agricultural sector. According to General Statistics Office of Vietnam, the industrial sector contributes around 40% to Vietnam’s GDP with the total GDP of USD 223.8 billion[1].

Coal is the main energy use in TPES, followed by oil and traditional biomass. Almost all types of energy use in TPES has been increasing gradually since 2005 and hence the increase of TPES.
Oil and coal are the main consumer of the TFEC followed by traditional biomass and electricity. Each type of energy sources are in an increment trend since 2006, and hence the TFEC.
Unconditional contribution:With domestic resources, by 2030 Viet Nam will reduce GHG emissions by 8% compared to BAU, in which:
Conditional contribution:
The above-mentioned 8% contribution could be increased to 25% if international support is received through bilateral and multilateral cooperation, as well as through the implementation of new mechanisms under the Global Climate Agreement, in which emission intensity per unit of GDP will be reduced by 30% compared to 2010 levels.
