VOV.VN - A total of 12 visual stories have been put on display at a photo exhibition on the impact of climate change held at Sai Gon Riverside Park in Ho Chi Minh City, illustrating how Southeast Asian countries face environmental issues.
The visual storytelling exhibition features works by photographers from Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam.
It brings visitors on a journey to discover the impact of ocean acidification on life, the human adaptation to ever more extreme heat waves, the deforestation of mangrove forests in Cambodia, and a new surprising symbiosis between shrimps and rice plants. All of these aspects represent hope for local farmers in the Mekong Delta region, an area which is the most impacted by climate change.
The exhibition is expected to encourage people to protect the environment and to minimise the negative impacts of climate change taking place globally.
The event is being jointly organised by local authorities, the consulate general of the Netherlands in Ho Chi Minh City, and the Dutch Business Association Vietnam (DBAV).
The exhibition is free for the public until March 12.
Leaders of the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho on April 17 met with a visiting delegation from the Embassies of Canada, New Zealand, Norway, and Switzerland to discuss issues related to erosion, climate change, migration, and the city's current needs for support and cooperation.
Over 25,000 Vietnamese residents in seven coastal localities are now safeguarded by storm-and flood-resistant homes thanks to a project on improving resilience of vulnerable coastal communities to climate change in Vietnam.
