The government and the Vietnamese people desire to make Vietnam a
substantially developed country. If the government is really decisive in transforming the

economy, learning from successful examples is necessary. The authors expect that our
article can help in the go-green process.
4. Conclusion
The green economy is not a trend; it is a must-have in many countries' long-term
development plans. Switzerland is among the top 10 greenest countries due to its
appropriate strategies and implementation. The green economy brings many benefits to
its population. For instance, the cantonal food enforcement officials indicated that they
had not documented any water samples exceeding fluoride and chromium within three

years. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, fewer cases of waterborne disease were
reported in 2020 despite hand hygiene being prescribed. Resources and Energy are
saved, the air and water are cleaner, and people are healthier. These are necessary factors
for sustainable development. If Vietnam can do like Switzerland, we can succeed in
becoming a green economy.
