HÀ NỘI — As COP28 takes over the global conversation, the British Council through the UK-Việt Nam Season is spotlighting collaborative projects with innovative and creative responses to tackle climate change.

The UK-Việt Nam Season is a celebration of the 30th anniversary of the British Council in Việt Nam and the 50th anniversary of UK-Việt Nam diplomatic relations, with a thematic focus on our climate and the environment is uniting experts, educators, artists, and innovators from both nations.

Aligned with the shared priorities of the UK and Việt Nam, the Season emphasises the critical need to protect our planet. Collaborating with top universities and organisations from both countries, the Season over the past six months has featured hackathons, residencies, symposiums, and digital exhibitions, fostering creative solutions to climate change.

Donna McGowan, the British Council Director in Việt Nam, said: “Our UK-Việt Nam Season envisions our future together, forging new partnerships and reinforcing bonds between our countries. Through joint climate and environment initiatives, we are actively contributing to the global conversation on climate change and showcasing the power of collaboration in addressing our shared responsibilities for a sustainable future.”

As we see outcomes from COP28 in Dubai, the Season’s projects in Việt Nam are providing opportunities for people to tackle climate change through arts and culture, education, and English. — VNS
