Hanoi targets clean air on 80% of days

Hanoi has advanced its air-quality target, aiming for “good” or “moderate” air on 80% of days annually by 2026, four years ahead of its previous 2030 roadmap. Emergency measures include stricter dust controls at construction sites, emission curbs for factories, and intensified street cleaning. Long-term plans focus on electrifying transport: over 25% of buses and half of taxis are already green, with full conversion by 2030. From mid-2026, low-emission zones will restrict polluting vehicles, supported by incentives for electric motorbikes and expanded metro networks. Officials stress phased implementation and regional cooperation to tackle persistent pollution challenges.
