Environmental protection and climate change response have been identified by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Youth Union as one of the important tasks in the work of the Youth Union and the youth and children's movement. The Youth Union, Association and Pioneer chapters at all levels in the province have organized many meaningful programs and activities, including integrating propaganda activities on environmental protection and plastic waste prevention for union members and children.
During the Youth Month of 2025, the Youth Union chapters at all levels in the province carried out 138 activities, projects, and tasks for youth to participate in building new rural areas, civilized urban areas, and protecting the environment, attracting 2,330 young union members to participate. The Youth Union bases simultaneously organized the Peak Day of Volunteering to Join Hands in Building New Rural Areas and the First Green Sunday in 2025; launched a parade to propagate the implementation of civilized lifestyles and preserve urban beauty; mobilized people to classify waste at source and dispose of waste in the right place.
The Youth Union at all levels maintained 32 "Bright - green - clean - beautiful - civilized - safe" routes; built 10 "Youth flower roads" and 10 "Blooming electric poles" models in districts and cities: Phuc Yen, Vinh Yen, Yen Lac, Vinh Tuong... with a total value of nearly 100 million VND; maintained 10 "Free advertising and classified ads" models; implemented 10 "Hand washing sinks for children" models in primary and secondary schools; built 8 "Children's play areas" models worth 160 million VND; organized 164 propaganda sessions on plastic waste prevention and control; built 83 models to limit plastic waste; planted thousands of new trees, flower beds, and ornamental plants, creating green - clean - beautiful landscapes; removed more than 1,200 illegal advertising and classified ads; and eliminated "black spots" for waste in urban areas.
In April 2025, the Provincial Youth Union organized a Recycling Fashion Show with the theme "Protecting the environment is protecting our lives" at Huong Canh A Primary School (Binh Xuyen). The competition had the participation of 15 teams representing more than 1,000 students. From materials such as plastic bottles, nylon bags, cardboard to old cans or newspapers, students designed unique and highly artistic costumes.
On this occasion, the Organizing Committee implemented the model "Exchanging trash for trees". Students collected recyclable waste such as plastic bottles, scrap paper, cans, etc. to exchange for green potted plants to decorate and beautify their schools, classrooms, and homes. The program created a creative and useful playground, helping students raise awareness of environmental protection, know how to classify trash and use recycled products effectively.
Launched by the Provincial Youth Union for the first time in October 2024 in Lang Ha village, Ho Son commune (Tam Dao), the model "Youth volunteers to build green - clean - beautiful villages" has shown positive effects and has a strong influence.
In localities implementing the model, the Youth Union branches established a "Youth Volunteer Team to build green - clean - beautiful villages", mobilizing a large number of Youth Union members to participate in environmental protection projects and tasks, building new rural areas in the locality such as building "Youth Tree Rows", "Mural Road"; propagating and instructing people to classify waste at source and dispose of waste in the right place; launching campaigns to clean up the environment, collect waste, and eliminate environmental "black spots"; organizing a contest to create recycled products to protect the environment with the theme "The second journey of waste"; implementing the model "Exchanging waste for trees" and the project "Green House" in primary and secondary schools, etc.
The model of "Youth volunteers building green - clean - beautiful villages" creates a strong spreading motivation, promoting the role of Youth Union members in environmental protection and new rural construction in localities in the province.
In order for environmental protection and climate change response activities to be effectively implemented, the Youth Union chapters at all levels in the province have promoted propaganda and mobilized young union members and people to participate in activities through branch meetings, on newsletters, websites, and fanpages of the Provincial Youth Union, and campaigns launched annually such as "Make the world cleaner", "Summer Youth Volunteers"; "Youth Month"; "World Environment Day"...
Through that, each youth union member and citizen gradually raises awareness, consciousness, actively and proactively participates in protecting the environment with practical actions, contributing to making the living environment increasingly cleaner and more beautiful.
