🌏 This World Environment Day, @WHO, @UNDPVietnam and @UNICEF_vietnam are joining hands for clean air, and a sustainable and prosperous #VietNam 🇻🇳
💪🏼The very highest levels of Government are leading with unprecedented commitment to addressing #airpollution. It will take time to reduce emissions – such as from transport, industry, waste management and agriculture. But we are calling for action now:
✅Enhanced #airquality monitoring and management to protect the public during severe pollution.
✅Clear protocols to reduce exposure, especially for children, outdoor workers, older people and people with chronic conditions such as asthma.
✅Training key workers (such as in health, education and aged care) on measures to protect vulnerable groups.
✅Public awareness campaigns so caregivers, teachers and communities know the dangers and how they can protect themselves.
✅Advocacy to address the sources of exposure and reduce risks.

💙Let’s work together – across Government, the private sector, civil society, media and communities – to make clean air a reality for everyone.

Delighted to see Ireland leading the way on education, with over 52% of adults aged 25–64 having a bachelor’s degree or higher.

Investment in education has been the key foundation stone for societal and economic development in Ireland.

Today is #WorldPrematurityDay

Globally, 1 in 10 of all babies are born preterm - before 37 weeks of pregnancy - and complications relating to prematurity are now the leading cause of child death.

There is an urgent need to ensure quality care for all babies born early or small, alongside efforts to reduce risks of preterm birth https://t.co/61CqnS12xl

Access to care is essential

But it’s critical that care is of high QUALITY also…

Beyond the buildings and bridges and roads, this is the human face of this devastating storm. 💔

At @UNDPVietNam our thoughts are with all those impacted by Typhoon Yagi, and we reaffirm our commitment to do all we can to support vulnerable communities recover.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

The disastrous impact of #TyphoonYagi on lives and livelihoods in #Vietnam is heartbreaking — almost 250 people died so far, 88 are missing and hundreds are injured.

Our sincere condolences to the families who lost loved ones.

The @WHOVietnam team is working closely with the government to meet immediate health needs and assess the damage to health facilities.
