00:00:04.047 --> 00:00:07.662 
On July 12, the Prime Minister issued
Directive No. 20 on a 

00:00:07.662 --> 00:00:08.867 
number of urgent tasks 

00:00:08.867 --> 00:00:11.227 
to prevent and overcome environmental pollution. 

00:00:11.707 --> 00:00:14.013 
The Directive emphasizes that
environmental protection work is always 

00:00:14.013 --> 00:00:15.807 
on par with the Party and State 

00:00:15.807 --> 00:00:18.932 
with socio-economic development as an
inseparable pillar, deciding the 

00:00:18.932 --> 00:00:20.667 
sustainable development of the country. 

00:00:21.087 --> 00:00:24.267 
However, many localities are
still facing serious pollution. 

00:00:24.567 --> 00:00:27.287 
especially air pollution in large
urban areas and water pollution, 

00:00:27.287 --> 00:00:30.227 
in densely populated areas, production
departments, and craft villages. 

00:00:30.627 --> 00:00:34.347 
The situation of stagnant waste causes
environmental pollution, affecting people's lives, 

00:00:34.667 --> 00:00:35.867 
has continued for many years. 

00:00:36.727 --> 00:00:39.842 
From this reality, the Workers' Forum
for the Environment in 

00:00:39.842 --> 00:00:41.087 
2025 chose the theme 

00:00:41.087 --> 00:00:43.931 
Management of household waste after the
merger is closely linked to the 

00:00:43.931 --> 00:00:45.827 
implementation of Directive 20 of the Prime Minister. 

00:00:46.267 --> 00:00:49.567 
Forum aims to accompany the
workforce and localities 

00:00:49.567 --> 00:00:53.527 
for environmental protection, air and
water, promoting waste classification at source, 

00:00:53.807 --> 00:00:55.007 
turning waste into resources. 

00:00:55.327 --> 00:00:58.221 
This is also a strong message affirming
the determination of the whole 

00:00:58.221 --> 00:00:59.427 
society in protecting the environment, 

00:00:59.727 --> 00:01:01.847 
for public health and the future of the country's development. 

00:01:02.227 --> 00:01:06.341 
The Workers' Forum for the Environment
2025 will take place at 2:00 p.m. 

00:01:06.341 --> 00:01:07.607 
on September 19, 2025 

00:01:07.607 --> 00:01:09.727 
at the Viet So Labor Conference Cultural Palace.
