 note = {Climate change requires the world turning toward green/low-carbon economic development. Likewise, itbrings about a new generation of FDI policies at both the international and national levels. As a result, inwardLow-carbon FDI (LCF) is encouraged by many host countries.　　Vietnam received a large amount of FDI in 1988-Aug. 2014, with over 50% of the total registeredprojects and capital flows in the manufacturing sector. Though some research shows that there is a footprintof LCF flow in this sector, still it is the major source of CO2 emissions in Vietnam. This paper is based onthe theoretical framework of Low-carbon FDI developed in the World Investment Report 2010 (UNCTAD)to examine the trend of LCF in Vietnam?s manufacturing sector. The result of a survey on FDI enterprises?awareness of and motivation for their Low-carbon Performance (LCP) in Vietnam reveals that LCF may enterthe country. However, this trend is not stable as most foreign affiliates consider “production cost saving” and“Air/water pollution treatment” as the major locational determinants and there are not yet stringent LCPrequirements by Vietnam government. Those foreign affiliates are aware of LCP, and spontaneously applyLow-carbon technology (LCT) in their core production process, require/support LCT implemented by theirinput suppliers or industrial customers, and are possibly participating in certain LCP value/supply chains. Inswitching to the new generation of “quality” inward FDI promotion policy, LCF locational determinants inVietnam should be taken thoroughly into consideration.},
