CALL FOR PAPERS

CALL FOR PAPERS

Dear colleagues and friends,

You are cordially invited to submit your research papers (English only and in PDF files) to the first Vietnam Symposium in Climate Transition (VSCT-2024) that will take place between 12 – 13 December 2024 in Da Nang, an incredibly beautiful coastal city located in the middle of Vietnam. We will organize the conference in a HYBRID FORMAT that allows either in-person or online presentations, so please do not hesitate to submit your work. 

Overview

Climate change is a global threat requiring the cooperation of all stakeholders, including governments, corporations, and civil society, to mitigate its harmful impacts and to 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 the AVSE Global, the University of Danang – University of Economics, and Massey University, the 2024 Vietnam Symposium in Climate Transition (VSCT-2024) 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.
