Based on OECD analyses of green growth, the research selects some measuring indicators used for assessing the green growth in Vietnam and then suggests some implications for policies on this approach. Research results show that Vietnam is facing great challenges in building a green growth model. There are falls in efficiency of employment of factor inputs, increases in waste and pollutants, along with exhaustion of natural resources and environmental degradation caused by industrialization.

Policy implication from this research is that emphasis should be put on a combination of various instruments, public participation and international support to achieve the green growth.
