“It is with great pride that I introduce Green Finance Tools Education in Vietnam: A Mixed Method Study, an impressive work that addresses a critical gap in our understanding of sustainability in the financial sector. This book is not just a collection of theoretical insights; it is a pioneering contribution that redefines green finance education in Vietnam and beyond.

The authors meticulously explore the intersection of finance and sustainability, presenting a robust framework that integrates these concepts into higher education. This work serves as a vital resource for educators, policymakers, and industry leaders dedicated to nurturing the next generation of finance professionals. These future leaders will not only master the technical skills required in finance but also understand the sustainable practices essential for driving meaningful economic change.

A standout feature of this book is its comprehensive analysis of green financial instruments and their role in educational development. By detailing how these tools can be incorporated into academic curricula, the authors offer a clear path for embedding sustainability at the heart of finance education—especially relevant to Vietnam’s ambitious green development goals.

Additionally, the book’s focus on practical learning experiences and collaboration between educational institutions, government, and industry demonstrates its forward-thinking approach. It enriches the existing literature on green finance while sparking future research and innovation in the field.

This is more than a book; it is a call to action for all stakeholders in education and finance. It challenges us to rethink finance education and inspires a commitment to building a more sustainable and resilient economy. I highly recommend this groundbreaking work to anyone passionate about advancing green finance and sustainability in education.”

“Green Finance Education in Vietnam: A Mixed Method Study” is an essential resource for policymakers, educators, and stakeholders involved in green finance education and sustainable development. Its thorough analysis and practical recommendations provide a clear pathway for integrating green finance into Vietnamese higher education, ultimately supporting the policy implementation set forth by the State Bank Governor’s Decision 1604/QĐ-NHNN on the Green Bank Development Project.

By enhancing the curriculum, investing in practical learning experiences, and fostering a comprehensive understanding of green finance, Vietnam can develop a new generation of finance professionals equipped to contribute effectively to the Green Bank Development Project and the broader goal of transitioning towards a sustainable economy.”
