The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MoNRE) on October 11 held a conference to deploy Government Resolution No. 35 on a number of urgent environmental issues.
According to experts, Vietnam’s environmental pollution will increase threefold in the next 10 years, and four to five times by 2025 if environmental protection tasks do not receive proper attention.
Besides economic loss, environmental pollution also negatively and directly impacts on human health.
