In Vietnam, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, and the Ministry of Industry and Trade have called for a public response to the theme “Reducing the carbon footprint towards net zero emissions” by organizing many programs to raise awareness and mobilize the community to act together for the common goals of Vietnam.
The IUCN has officially introduced the “Hour Bank” platform with the expectation to exceed at least 10,000 hours from the Vietnamese people.
According to IUCN Vietnam, the “Hour Bank” challenges the public to give as many hours as possible and log them online in the “Hour Bank” – an online count of all the planet-positive activities pledged by people for Earth Hour. People can choose their activities in six areas – food and health, sports, entertainment, art and creativity, sustainability, and nature.
Each individual can register to take action for the Earth, and spread a positive message to the community with accounts of their daily interests and lifestyle changes.
