The Magazine of Natural Resources and Environment has always been worthy of being the first and only specialized magazine of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment.
Over the years, the Journal has had a certain position and voice in the system of national press agencies, especially prestigious with readers nationwide. The publishing work and content quality of the Journal of Natural Resources and Environment are always promoted, each year is better than the previous year.
From the end of 2019 until now, the Journal has entered a new phase, the phase of integrated journalism, with many new dynamics and challenges. Overcoming the framework and traditional publishing methods of print, the Journal of Natural Resources and Environment confidently enters the period of digital transformation and integration, changing with the trend of the times, requiring the Journal to work at high speed as well as challenges from continuously emerging information transmission methods. Therefore, in parallel with the paper Journal of Natural Resources and Environment, the Electronic Journal of Environment (tainguyenvamoitruong.vn) was built and established under the new Press License No. 480/GP-BTTTT issued by the Ministry of Information and Communications on July 27, 2021 for both printed and electronic magazines.

However, this task has only been well done domestically.
In the context of complex developments in climate change in recent years, Vietnam has proactively committed to zero net emissions by 2050 and proposed, drafted and signed many international treaties, so the task of propaganda must be focused on and promoted beyond the national territory. In the field of natural resources and environment, with extensive international cooperation in areas such as: Climate change, environment, water resources, hydrometeorology, seas and islands... Therefore, it is necessary to propagate policies and guidelines on natural resources and environment and achievements and scientific research results of the Natural Resources and Environment sector in English for wider dissemination.

The published English page will make a practical contribution to enhancing the national position; promoting the image of the country, people and culture of Vietnam; informing and disseminating major policies and guidelines of the State; management, exploitation, use and protection of natural resources and environment of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment; bringing Vietnam to the world and bringing the world closer to Vietnam.
