On 16 January, World Economic Forum’s Global Plastic Action Partnership, Viet Nam National Plastic Action Partnership (NPAP), and Financing Coordination Group (FCG) convened an online workshop on Mobilizing Financing for Plastic Action in Viet Nam, bringing together government, private sector, financial institutions, NGOs and development partners.

Discussions focused on mobilizing large-scale and blended finance to address Viet Nam’s USD 5.2–7 billion financing gap for plastic action through 2030. Participants highlighted the importance of strengthening EPR systems, aligning market incentives, piloting innovative finance solutions, and improving transparency and traceability. Infrastructure gaps, the need for public–private risk sharing, and underinvestment in upstream solutions—such as plastic reduction, alternative materials and product redesign—were identified among the key challenges to unlocking finance at scale.
