The workshop served as a forum for people, businesses and social organizations to share solutions and initiatives to improve air quality, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and respond to climate change.
The workshop included two main sessions, with the first introducing an overview of Hanoi and the second focusing on sharing experiences revolving around such prioritized areas as reducing dust in the air, efficient and sustainable use of energy, urban planning, and waste management.
Experts at the workshop suggested Hanoi to cut its carbon dioxide emissions, increase citizens’ engagement in monitoring local air quality, among other ideas for the development of green home, office and transport.
Sharing the experiences of Seoul in promulgating environmental policies, Professor Youngsoo Choi said that Seoul’s government has spent billions of US dollars to promote the replacement of old vehicles with modern ones to reduce emissions.
Specifically, all gasoline fueled buses in Seoul have been phased out and supplanted by electric vehicles. The city installed emission filter on taxis and trucks for free and supported households in changing heaters of high energy consumption to more efficient ones.
