Vietnam’s youth union to plant 20mn trees in 2023
The Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union, the largest organization of young people in Vietnam, will plant 20 million trees this year, said first secretary of the Central Committee of the union Bui Quang Huy.
The Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union on Saturday cooperated with the Party Committee and the People’s Committee of Hoa Binh Province in northern Vietnam to launch the Tet tree planting movement.
At the launching ceremony, Huy informed that young people nationwide would plant 1.9 million trees on the day. In Hoa Binh alone, young people planted 30,000 trees.
This is the first step to realize the target of planting 100 million trees in 2022 – 27, heading toward the prime minister’s plan to cultivate 100 million trees.
Huy also asked each young person to plant, take care of, and protect at least a tree in their workplaces, schools, and residences.
He required the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union at all levels to come up with solutions to apply technology and digital transformation to counting and managing trees.
Speaking at the ceremony, chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee Do Van Chien said the 13th Party Central Committee required effectively adapting to climate change; preventing, controlling, and easing the impact of natural disasters and diseases; managing, exploiting, and using natural resources in an appropriate, economical, efficient, and sustainable manner; considering the protection of the living environment and public health as the top priority; scrapping projects causing environmental pollution; protecting biodiversity and ecosystems; and developing a green and circular economy.
He highly evaluated the role of young people in achieving these targets.
The annual Tet tree planting movement has become more practical and effective, Chien added.
