Viet Nam prioritizes media in its environmental agenda
In the face of growing challenges from plastic waste, resource depletion, and climate vulnerability, Vietnam is making strides towards environmental sustainability, and at the forefront of this movement is Việt Nam News and Law.
Formed in 2025 from the merger of the English-language daily Việt Nam News and Vietnam Law and Legal Forum, this media outlet serves as a national voice for external information, with a specific focus on supporting Vietnam’s green transformation agenda. Through daily, weekly, monthly, and digital publications, Việt Nam News and Law mainstreams environmental protection topics across all levels of discourse—media, policy, and business—rather than treating such issues as niche coverage.
The publication's editorial direction is deeply rooted in green journalism, with extensive coverage on renewable energy, green finance, ESG communication, circular economy models, and extended producer responsibility (EPR) laws to advance sustainable packaging and waste management practices. Việt Nam News and Law is also developing innovative initiatives such as the annual Green Communication Report, an ESG index for Vietnamese media, and offers consulting services that connect policy, enterprises, and the community to accelerate Vietnam’s green transition.
One of the key initiatives Việt Nam News and Law is driving is the enforcement of EPR, which came into effect on January 1, 2024. This mandates that producers and importers take responsibility for the post-consumer waste generated by their products, and is expected to serve as a turning point in building Vietnam's recycling industry and reducing plastic pollution. In 2025, the paper will host the flagship forum "Green Packaging Forum: EPR Journey Towards Sustainable Value" to discuss EPR enforcement and refine Vietnam's legal and operational framework.
Việt Nam News and Law is more than just a news platform; it acts as a catalyst that links legal, economic, and environmental frameworks with public advocacy. The paper's role extends beyond reporting facts to helping build a green ecosystem by supporting governments, businesses, and citizens in translating environmental commitments into effective actions.
Nguyen Minh, the Editor-in-Chief of Việt Nam News and Law, emphasizes the importance of mainstreaming environmental protection across all levels of media, policy, and business discourse. The paper stands ready to be a reliable partner and a bridge between policy, enterprise, and community in building a greener, more sustainable Vietnam.
As Vietnam navigates its green transformation, Việt Nam News and Law is committed to remaining at the forefront in a world shaped by digitalization and green development. The newspaper publishes a daily, weekly, and monthly print edition, along with its digital platforms, and its environmental coverage is backed by long-form series, policy analysis, and multi-platform storytelling.
In response to the government's strategies and legal frameworks supporting the green transition in Vietnam, Việt Nam News and Law has significantly expanded its coverage of environmental issues. The paper has launched dedicated sections on circular economy, low-carbon agriculture, renewable energy, green finance, and ecosystem restoration. Việt Nam News and Law is also developing an annual Green Communication Report, introducing an ESG index for its website, and offering consulting services in internal green communication for businesses.
In a world where environmental protection is more crucial than ever, Việt Nam News and Law is playing a pivotal role in shaping Vietnam's sustainability efforts, acting as both a national platform and a catalyst for change.
