Speaking at the event, Mr. Vu Minh Ly - Deputy Director of the Center for Natural Resources and Environment Communication said that at the COP26 Conference, nearly 150 countries committed to achieving net emissions of "0" (Net Zero) and Vietnam is also one of the countries that has taken timely actions with the strong commitment of Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh .

Mr. Vu Minh Ly - Deputy Director of the Center for Natural Resources and Environment Communication spoke at the press conference.

Immediately after the conference ended, the Prime Minister approved the project on tasks and solutions to implement the results of COP26; approved the national strategy on climate change and at the same time, proposed a comprehensive roadmap to realize the committed climate goals. To solve this problem, the Vietnamese Government issued a legal framework to synchronously implement solutions.

However, to achieve this ambitious goal, organizations and businesses play the main role in implementing it with the State's creative guidance. "We will have to synchronously orient solutions, promote carbon markets, transform green technology models, circular economy as well as mobilize international resources to rapidly promote this process," Mr. Ly said.

In that context, Art For Climate Festival Ha Long 2025 is a combination of art activities and environmental protection activities with global influence while honoring and promoting the world natural heritage value of Ha Long Bay, thereby attracting domestic and international tourists, especially high-end tourists.
