The official launching ceremony will be held on July 19 at 2/4 Square with the participation of provincial leaders, agencies, businesses, a large number of people and the "For a Green Future" Fund - Vingroup Corporation.

“Green Action - For a Green Future” is the largest community program ever in Khanh Hoa with the support of the “For a Green Future” Fund. This is also the first community activity of the Fund after just over 10 days of establishment (July 7, 2023).

To mobilize the entire population to participate widely, bring the spirit of Green living into every home, every business, and create Green habits for every citizen - Khanh Hoa province has developed a comprehensive and specific action program applicable to 7 essential daily areas, including: Clean green food and drinking water, Green transportation, Green accommodation, Green space, Green entertainment, Green air and Green people.

In particular, the "Green and clean food and drinks" sector will have to comply with green standards as well as use clean and fresh/green food consistently at all food and accommodation establishments in the province. Public areas in Nha Trang City will also be installed with clean water taps for tourists to reduce the rate of bottled water use leading to plastic bottle waste in the environment.

In the field of "Green Transport", the province will increase green bus routes, install public bicycles and electric charging stations throughout the city. To set an example, government agencies will pioneer the use of green vehicles, encouraging people to use green vehicles such as green buses, green taxis, etc.

To ensure a Green living environment, the province will also apply Green standards to accommodation facilities in the area, and at the same time encourage households to decorate their landscapes and plant more trees inside and outside their homes to turn each residence into a " Green Accommodation".

Activities such as planting trees, creating urban shade, cleaning up indoor and outdoor trash, coastal trash and industrial waste periodically; creating outdoor play spaces, reducing emissions, reducing electricity usage, etc. will all be applied to create "Green Space, Green Play and Green Air" throughout the province.

In particular, to make the action program effective, starting from each citizen, the province will call on everyone to participate in the "Green People" program. Specifically, the province will train and promote awareness to each individual, organize elite green volunteer teams, have cohesion and encourage the community to truly take action.

The Provincial People's Committee will organize the official launching ceremony on July 19, 2023 at 2/4 Square with the participation of departments, organizations and a large number of people along with the "For a Green Future" Fund. Immediately after that, the Provincial People's Committee and the Fund will immediately deploy practical activities to Green Khanh Hoa Tourist Spots such as cleaning up Binh Ba River and public beaches, planting trees to green Chin Khuc Mountain...

Responding to the province's Program, in addition to the "For a Green Future" Fund, brands of Vingroup Corporation operating in the province such as Vinpearl, Vinmec, VinUni will also announce a Green action plan.
