It lays out five groups of missions and solutions regarding goods traded in the market, participants in the market, carbon credit exchange, operation of the market, and improvement of public awareness and capacity.
Ha said that the implementation of the project must be aligned with international practices, including legal system, organisation of consultations with foreign partners, and necessary conditions to connect the domestic market with the international one in the future.
