Addis Ababa, April 16, 2025 (FMC) – The 4th Partnership for Green Growth and the Global Goals 2030 (P4G) Summit with the theme of “Sustainable and People-Centred Green Transition” officially opened in Hanoi today.
The two-day summit has brought together over 1,000 representatives from over 40 countries and international organizations, including Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, Lao Prime Minister Sonexay Siphandone, Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Neth Savoeun, and Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations Amina J. Mohammed.
The summit is the first multilateral high-level conference in the field of green growth, green transition, and sustainable development hosted by Vietnam.
Welcoming delegates to the event, Vietnam’s Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said that since its inception in Copenhagen in 2018, the P4G Summit has demonstrated the far-reaching impact of a world leading forum for promoting public-private partnerships, connecting governments, businesses and social organizations to jointly come up with breakthrough solutions for green growth, contributing to the implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to 2030.
He stated that as the world is facing unprecedented challenges such as natural disasters, climate change, pandemics, environmental pollution, resource depletion, and an aging population, green transition and sustainable development are inevitable trends, top priorities, and strategic choices for nations and people globally.
The 4th P4G Summit reflects a shared desire for a bright, green, clean, and beautiful world, the PM said, emphasizing that the human factor is the centre, the subject, the goal, the driving force, and the resources for the greening process and sustainable development in the world.
