Abstract
Vietnam has achieved remarkable socio-economic development in the last 30 years. Economic growth has been maintained since 1990 until now. However, economic growth has been unsustainable, caused environmental pollution and depletion of natural resources. On the other hand, Vietnam is one of the most seriously impacted countries by the climate change. In this context, there is a need to change the growth paradigm, to promote Green Growth. This paper identifies potential as well as solutions and recommendations of integrated solid waste management including resource recovery from municipal waste for Green Growth in Vietnam.
