The two-day event, an initiative of the Green Innovation and Development Centre (GreenID) and the Live& Learn Environment Education centre, aims to raise public awareness of the current air pollution conditions, the reasons behind the situation and its impacts on the community’s health, thus promoting changes in attitude and actions regarding the improvement of air quality.
According to the organizers, an exhibition showcasing solutions to air pollution with simple measures to protect family health from air pollution will be held, along with a painting activity for children.
A game show will be organised for participants with awards being solutions to improve air quality and protect people’s health.
Through the activities, the Vietnam Clean Air Day hopes to deliver the message that everyone can act for better air quality.
