Within the framework of the month-long campaign “I am Green”, the British Council will implement competitions and activities nationwide, including the “How Green Is Your City?” photo competition, a Green Tip Box competition, and Wildlife Conservation competition. 

The council will also organise environmental talks and screenings of environmental movies in Hanoi and a fashion show and games in Ho Chi Minh City. 

The British Council’s Country Director, Robin Rickard, said climate change is a problem that affects all the people and the global environment and climate security is the biggest challenge of the 21st century. 

“We hope ‘I Am Green’ campaign will drive the climate change agenda forward among the local young generation at a national level and help them work towards sustainable thinking and eventually contribute to a sustainable future,” he said. 

Vietnam is said to be one of 16 most at risk countries in South Asia when sea levels rise during the next 30 years. 

As a result, the government has approved a national target programme to cope with climate change in order to actively respond to natural disasters and limit losses caused by climate change.
