00:10 Last year 2020,

00:11 we experienced the worst drought and salinity

00:14 in the Mekong Delta,

00:15 the major rice producer

00:17 of the country.

00:19 Many farmers lost their crops,

00:21 people carrying a lot of water containers

00:24 and standing in super long line

00:26 waiting to get or buy fresh water.

00:32 Last year,

00:33 people in central Vietnam went through record floods and typhoons back to back,

00:39 causing hundreds of human lives

00:41 and huge economic losses.

00:43 There are many more people right now aware that,

00:46 oh,

00:46 it's,

00:47 it's climate change.

00:48 But most of them would say,

00:50 well,

00:51 there's nothing much I can do about it.

01:03 Many NGOs,

01:04 including mine,

01:05 have been working with these amazing young people

01:08 so that they can implement their own projects to address their own environmental

01:12 and climate problems of the provinces.

01:15 Also,

01:16 business corporations are seeing more of their responsibility

01:20 to contribute

01:21 to a low carbon sustainable economic growth.

01:24 But I think the best part

01:25 is when,

01:27 The community,

01:27 especially young people,

01:29 are stepping up everywhere

01:31 and taking the lead of the climate movement in the country.

01:36 My vision for a successful climate action is where

01:40 the movement is led by the community,

01:42 by the young people,

01:43 but it is supported by everyone in the society.

01:47 This climate change is too big.

01:49 It's a huge crisis

01:50 that would require everyone to work together.

Last year 2020, we experienced the worst drought and salinity in the Mekong Delta, the major rice producer of the country.

Also, business corporations are seeing more of their responsibility to contribute to a low carbon sustainable economic growth. But I think the best part is when, The community, especially young people, are stepping up everywhere and taking the lead of the climate movement in the country. My vision for a successful climate action is where the movement is led by the community, by the young people, but it is supported by everyone in the society. This climate change is too big. It's a huge crisis that would require everyone to work together.
