Sowing millions of seeds to green Vietnam’s shared home
Each year in Vietnam, millions of seeds are persistently sown to increase forest coverage, contributing to watershed protection, safeguarding mangrove ecosystems, and mitigating the impacts of climate change.
Vietnam has been enduring significant effects of climate change, particularly in river basins and coastal areas. In coastal regions, rising sea levels are leading to shoreline erosion and loss or reduction of arable land, and increasing salinisation risks and damage to mangrove ecosystems, directly impacting local livelihoods.
The “Action for a Green Vietnam” programme, with the goal of planting one million trees to create Vietnam’s green shield by 2025, aligns with the government’s initiative to plant one billion trees under the “For a Green Vietnam” project (2021–2025). It also supports the national environmental protection goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
