(VOV) – Vietnam has joined 130 of the world’s countries in launching its version of the “Make the World Cleaner” campaign in Lam Dong province’s Da Lat City on September 21.
- ASEAN committed to environmental protection
- Environmental protection – an urgent issue
- Youth take part in environmental protection
Specifically themed “Where We Live: Our Planet, Our Responsibility”, the campaign launched globally across September 20-22 with the aim of raising individual and communal responsibility to care for the environment.
Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Bui Cach Tuyen used the campaign’s opening ceremony to call on organisations, individuals, businesses, and ministries to unite behind the drive to protect the environment and address the negative repercussions of climate change.
He urged the relevant agencies to accelerate the public information campaigns raising awareness of the issue’s importance.
The ceremony also honoured some individuals and organisations for their outstanding contributions to environmental protection.
After the ceremony’s conclusion, audiences cleaned the environment surrounding Xuan Huong Lake and nearby schools.
On September 20, 2,700 trees were planted at Da Lat University.
The world cleaning campaign was adapted globally by the United Nations Environmental Programme after its founding in Australia in 1993. It runs every September.
