Efforts include early forecasting, warning, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate risks and enhance global resilience against natural disasters.

The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment urges central ministries, agencies, provincial People's Committees, and organizations to organize practical and effective activities in line with the themes of World Water Day, World Meteorological Day, and the 2024 Earth Hour campaign.

It highlights the importance of raising awareness among communities, individuals, and businesses about the objectives, meanings, and themes of World Water Day 2024, World Meteorological Day 2024, and the Earth Hour 2024 campaign.

Alongside this, activities like seminars, conferences, scientific workshops, art exhibitions, and photo exhibitions will be organized.
