Environmental pollution has become one of humanity’s greatest challenges in the 21st century, requiring nations to take collective action. As a developing country, Viet Nam is committed to continuous efforts to build a green, clean and beautiful environment, while demonstrating responsibility to the international community.

As many as 443 electric buses will be put into operation in Ho Chi Minh City since August 1, contributing to reducing environmental pollution and attracting more passengers, thereby accelerating the shift to "green, clean" public passenger transport.

The Vietnamese and US agencies on November 15 launched a five-year 11.3 million USD project called “Reducing Pollution” to help lessen environmental pollution in Vietnam.
