The vice chairman added that the World Environment Day is an annual event with diverse response activities worldwide and has become a widespread movement in Vietnam. It contributes to raising people's awareness on environmental protection, biodiversity conservation, sustainable development and climate change response.
Recently, Hanoi’s air quality has shown signs of deterioration, especially in the downtown, main roads and construction sites. The daily air quality index (AQI) shows that the capital has reached the unhealthy level in many days, significantly affecting people's health and socio-economic development activities in the city, Hung stressed.
He said that Hanoi’s authority has made a lot of efforts with specific actions and commitments, such as actively calling and cooperating with many domestic and international organizations to improve air quality, installing air quality monitoring network and provide its residents with information, coordinating with reputable international organizations to identify emission sources, then effectively implementing solutions for air pollution reduction.
