Green economy means a combination of three factors: economy - society - environment. The green economy which has a sustainable nature is activities creating profits or beneficial values, towards the life development of the social community and people.
Hoa Binh, adjacent to Hanoi, is located in the development planning of the capital area. The province has a "clean" landscape, environment, and cultural identity that have not been affected much by economic development activities. According to businesses, investors and experts, potential for development of the province remains big if it knows how to bring into full play these advantages.
Resolutions, action programmes, and projects to implement the Resolution of the 17th provincial Party Congress have shown a consistent view of realising green and greener development so that every citizen can enjoy the fruits of innovation. The province is urgently preparing a provincial planning with a vision to 2050, aiming to become the leading province in the Northwest region, with the principle that planning must be consistent with the province's green and sustainable development orientation.
In the coming years, the province strives to complete a network of synchronous and modern socio-economic infrastructure, with focus on prioritising the development of road transport infrastructure and technical infrastructure to protect the environment and respond to climate change. Attention will be paid to stepping up ecological urban development, reducing the exploitation of stone to create ecological space for urban development, strengthening the preservation of national cultural identity.
Hoa Binh will also develop agriculture in the direction of concentrated commodity production and linking with processing industry, tourism, and environmental protection; while promoting the application of high-tech agriculture, biotechnology and organic agriculture; and developing environmentally-friendly industries with high technology content, and encouraging the development of industries serving agriculture and rural areas.
