Program:
Net Zero and the Circular Economy
The theme of SFF 2024 is "Net Zero and the Circular Economy", emphasizing the urgent need to take actions in addition to efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to effectively address climate protection. To achieve the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement, it is imperative to quickly achieve net zero emissions. At the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) taking place in Glasgow in 2021, Vietnam committed to bringing net emissions to "zero" by 2050. Therefore, it is necessary to strongly promote the reuse and recycling of products and prioritize sharing and repairing existing materials and products. A circular economy can help reduce the depletion of natural resources, limit the destruction of landscapes and habitats, and support the conservation of biodiversity.
