Climate change is now more urgent than ever, significantly affecting Earth and human life globally and particularly in Vietnam. Intense heatwaves are becoming a pressing issue worldwide, directly impacting human life and health. Vietnam is no exception, facing an increasing trend of severe heatwaves in recent years.

More than 10 years ago, Ho Chi Minh City invested over 8,600 billion VND to renovate the Nhiêu Lộc - Thị Nghè Canal, promising a green and refreshing space in the heart of the urban area. However, the current reality presents a heartbreaking image as the canal bears the brunt of a massive amount of waste. Despite the transformation of the banks, household waste such as plastic bottles, nylon bags, and styrofoam increasingly diminish the beauty and significance of the project. Notably, the lack of awareness among some individuals who directly dispose of garbage into the canal has escalated pollution, affecting not only the urban landscape but also the water environment and the health of the surrounding community.

In the lunar calendar, the year 2024 is the Year of the Wood Dragon (Giáp Thìn). Lunar New Year, celebrated in many cultures worldwide, is not only a significant occasion in Vietnam. It is a crucial time for individuals to spend with family, meet friends, and relax after a year of hard work. The Lunar New Year provides an opportunity not only to enjoy delicious meals but also to participate in traditional activities, ceremonies, and welcome the new year with hope and optimism.

COP28, or the 28th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), took place in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, from November 30 to December 13, 2023. The conference focused on various crucial issues related to climate change. The Framework Convention on Climate Change was discussed and signed in 1992 at the Rio de Janeiro Conference.

Global warming is a complex tapestry woven into the structure of our planet's climate system. With the unprecedented warming in recent years, it has become a serious environmental challenge of our time, putting immense pressure on leaders worldwide.

Silicosis is one of the top 28 serious occupational diseases in Vietnam. Those afflicted with this disease often struggle to live past the age of 50. Despite numerous warnings and reminders of the dangers, serious incidents continue to occur. In recent times, five workers at Chau Tien Stone Powder Company have died due to prolonged exposure to silicosis-inducing dust in their workplace. This serves as a stark reminder of the need for rigorous monitoring of environmental quality.
