Unilever Vietnam is joining with the MoNRE to launch a campaign to clean up the environment by tackling plastic pollution and regenerating nature in Vietnam.

Vietnam is making efforts to realise its strong commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Caitlin Wiesen, resident representative of the United Nations Development Programme in Vietnam, writes about how the country can formulate a development pathway that benefits both the economy and the environment in line with the World Environment Day on June 5.

This year marks an important World Environment Day for all of us. More than ever, the COVID-19 pandemic is a somber reminder of why we have to protect our environment in order to protect our health and our economy. Vietnam has been a global success story in how the government responds and controls the pandemic and its impacts on the Vietnamese people’s health and safety. The focus now is very much on economic recovery and turning the pandemic challenge into an opportunity for Vietnam to transform faster into a green and sustainable economy.

A leader in the design and operation of waste management facilities is taking a more prominent role in environmental protection to help Vietnamese communities with its sustainable development goals.

Responding to the World Environment Day, AEON MALL Vietnam will organise a variety of interesting and practical activities on environmental protection.

The World Environment Day took place on June 5, with “Beat Plastic Pollution” as the theme for this year’s edition, as the world is coming together to combat single-use plastic pollution.
