Abstract

Drawing on the foundational theories of carbon credits, this article provides novel insights for Vietnamese organizations regarding the multifaceted nature of carbon credits within the broader framework of sustainable development. Notably, when examined through the lens of green mindfulness, the carbon credits transcend their conventional economic interpretation and are reframed as a crucial issue regarding the human lifecycle. This perspective emphasizes that carbon credits are not merely financial instruments, but also represent an expansive, ethical, and existential reflection on humanity’s relationship with nature. As human cultivate a more profound, mindful awareness of the natural order, they are compelled to adapt and realign their behaviors in harmony with the flow of the universe.
