Many economic development models in response to climate change and meeting sustainable development goals have been formed. The province has basically completed the treatment of locally polluted areas and landfills that have been left for many years. Currently, the province has been implementing land, mineral and water resource planning; targets on waste collection and treatment, industrial wastewater collection and treatment have met the targets of the Provincial Party Committee's resolution and Resolution No. 24. The environment has been gradually improved.
