259 of CO2 In summary, SC4 has numerous social and environmental benefits that produces relatively positive economic outcomes as well SC5 integrates all of the advantages and technological improvements implicit in the food, water, energy scenarios Consequently, the GDP in this scenario shows the most significant improvement among scenarios: with an increase of 29.2% in economic growth (Figure 7-8) compared to SC1—equating to a GDP increase of US$ 96.5 billion (Figure 7-8) However, changes to the electricity generation mix and the mechanization of agricultural constrain job opportunities and produce large CO2 emissions Indeed, from the environmental perspective, there is a rise in carbon dioxide emissions, with estimated output of 477 million tons of CO2 in 2030 (Figure 7-8), which is larger than the emissions from both SC3 and SC4 Moreover, employment expansion is only larger than that of SC3 (excluding SC1, which is not inclusive) SC6 synergies all of the advantages and technological improvements in the food, water, and energy scenarios; increases the number of jobs; and reduces CO2 emissions Therefore, the increase in GDP in this scenario is significant compared to other scenarios, an increase of 27.8% - equivalent to US$ 92.1 billion- compared to SC1 (Figure 7-8) Moreover, some 218 additional million people will be employed in this scenario—an increase of nearly 20% compared to SC1 From the environmental perspective, carbon dioxide emissions decrease to 392.6 million tons by 2030 (Figure 7-8), which is the lowest level of CO2 emissions among the scenarios As such, these results indicate the best outcomes for Vietnam in the future: values are harmonized and work well with one another, helping to develop the social economy, workforce, and protecting the environment of the country 7.3 Policy Trade-offs and Policy Options Should the government consider the development pathway able to leverage all of the advantages of SC2, SC3, SC4, and SC5, while overcoming cross-sector impacts, the country will experience a significant improvement in all major economic sectors, improve its aggregate GDP, and create more employment while ensuring the long - term security of energy, food, and water In contrast to SC1, each scenario reflects its advantages despite some cross-sectoral negative impacts SC6 presents the best option, wherein policy adjustments should result in higher security for the economic sectors, the
