Vietnam is one of the countries most severely affected by climate change. Recent extreme weather events are no longer a potential risk, but have become a real threat, directly impacting the country's sustainable development.
In 2025 alone, we witnessed numerous unusual natural disasters. Prolonged heavy rains caused flooding and landslides not only in the northern provinces but also severely affected the South Central and Central Highlands regions. In addition, a record-breaking heatwave lasting throughout the summer of 2025, with temperatures exceeding 40°C in many areas, not only impacted health but also led to droughts and water shortages for daily life and production.
Given this situation, environmental protection and adaptation to climate change have become urgent tasks. Based on practical requirements, the Ministry of Education and Training has been proactively integrating educational content on these issues.environmentIntegrating biodiversity and climate change response into curricula at all levels of education aims to equip young people with the necessary knowledge and skills to protect themselves and become active advocates in their communities.
With a formidable force of over 1 million officials and teachers and 24 million students, the entire education sector clearly defines its pioneering mission in disseminating information and raising community awareness about disaster prevention and control, climate change adaptation, and environmental protection, contributing to the achievement of the country's sustainable development goals.
The "Students and Green Lifestyles" program provides an opportunity for students to discuss and propose practical solutions, promoting education on disaster prevention and mitigation, climate change adaptation, and environmental protection.
