You are cordially invited to submit your research papers (English only and in PDF files) to the Vietnam Symposium in Climate Transition (VSCT-2025) that will take place between 18-19 December 2025 in Da Nang, an incredibly beautiful coastal city located in the middle of Vietnam. We will organize the conference in an IN-PERSON that allows a richer, more dynamic experience with opportunities for greater engagement and networking in the conference.
Climate change is a global threat that requires the cooperation of all stakeholders, including governments, corporations, and civil society, to mitigate its harmful impacts and ensure a just climate transition to a low-carbon, more resource-efficient, and sustainable economy. Under the Paris Agreement and the 2030 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), countries are expected to mobilize all possible efforts and resources (human, financial, and capital) to achieve targeted climate and energy goals.
Jointly co-organized by AVSE Global,the University of Danang – University of Economics, and Massey University, the 2025 Vietnam Symposium in Climate Transition (VSCT-2025) aims to provide a leading forum for academics, practitioners, and policymakers to present their research findings and discuss current and challenging issues in climate transition, environment, and energy change mitigation and adaptation. The Symposium is also an ideal occasion for Vietnamese scholars to exchange research experiences and develop research projects with their international colleagues.
