At the ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Tuong Lam, Secretary of the Central Youth Union, Chairman of the Vietnam Youth Union, said that in recent years, the youth movement to participate in environmental protection has developed strongly, becoming a bright spot in the work of the Youth Union and youth activities. Typical programs such as "For a green Vietnam", the "Anti-plastic waste" movement, the "Let's clean the sea" campaign or "Green Sunday" have been widely deployed, creating a great influence throughout society.

According to statistics in the first 6 months of 2025, the youth of the whole country planted nearly 10 million new trees; more than 10 thousand "Green Sunday" campaigns were organized, nearly 20 thousand youth environmental protection teams were established. Tens of thousands of environmental training courses were organized, attracting hundreds of thousands of union members and youth to attend. More than 6 thousand initiatives and creative ideas of young people were applied in practice, bringing practical results in improving the living environment.

The movement does not stop at numbers, but contributes to forming a green lifestyle, spreading the habit of "4R" (Refuse, Reduce, Reuse and Recycle), encouraging waste classification at source, sustainable consumption and responsible behavior towards nature.

Opening of bright - green - clean - beautiful route.

To launch "Green Sunday" nationwide, Mr. Nguyen Tuong Lam suggested that 100% of Youth Union branches nationwide simultaneously carry out activities to clean the environment, eliminate pollution black spots, improve the landscape and build green - clean - beautiful living spaces in the community.

Youth Union bases continue to build and replicate effective models: Waste classification at source, plastic waste-free communities, bright - green - clean - beautiful roads, youth nurseries and tree-lined roads; arouse the sense of responsibility towards nature, towards the community, towards future generations; strengthen coordination between Youth Union - Association organizations with authorities at all levels, sectors, businesses and international organizations to mobilize resources, promote the combined strength of society in environmental protection work...

“Vietnamese youth should not only stop at simple tasks but also be pioneers in applying science and technology and digital transformation to protect the environment. Every action today, from picking up a piece of trash, planting a tree, clearing a canal, to creating a green technology solution, is a vivid demonstration of the responsibility of youth towards future generations,” Mr. Nguyen Tuong Lam emphasized.
