(VOVworld) – A photography and poster contest on the environment was launched on June 30 by the General Department of Environment, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), and the Global Environment Facility (GEF).

 

The contest is part of the UN’s implementation of the Stockholm Convention on persistent organic pollutants (POP).
It aims to rekindle creativity and passion for art while also increasing efforts to improve public awareness of persistent organic pollutants, hazardous waste, environmental pollution in Vietnam, and 3R environmental protection measures - reduce, reuse, and recycle. Two top artists will be invited to bring their works to an exhibition in Vienna, Austria.
