Conference raises troops’ awareness of environmental protection
PANO - The General Department of Politics of the Vietnam People's Army opened a training conference on education of troops’ awareness of environmental protection and troops’ response to climate change on August 3 in Ho Chi Minh City.
The conference drew the participation of representatives of relevant agencies under the Ministry of National Defense, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment and 50 troops from Southern units.
During the two-day event, the trainees will embrace the Party's resolutions and directives, the State's policies and laws on environmental protection, climate change response and sustainable development. They will also be updated with knowledge of current environmental pollution and climate change and study scientific and technological advances applied to handling pollution and environment incidents.
In addition, the trainees will also be provided with professional skills in promoting communications and education on environmental protection and will exchange their experiences in response to climate change at their units.
Troops are hoped to apply their learnt knowledge to their work after the training course.
