Can Tho city has set ambitious goals, including proactive climate change response, disaster prevention, efficient resource management, and environmental protection aligned with green transition principles.

The city aims to develop a green economy, reduce carbon emissions, promote circular economy practices, and restore ecosystems to achieve sustainable development and net-zero emissions.

To support these objectives, Can Tho city will prioritize the development of high-tech and clean technology industries, as well as energy efficiency and conservation measures. The city's economic structure will undergo a positive transformation, shifting towards knowledge-intensive and high-tech sectors while reducing reliance on natural resources.
