As the climate crisis escalates, with environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, and plastic pollution threatening the planet’s future, every small action counts.

The Environmental Crisis in 2024
In 2024, the world is facing unprecedented environmental crises. Global temperatures have reached record highs, and extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and severe. The WMO’s confirmation of this year being the hottest on record highlights the urgent need for action. Climate change is no longer a distant problem—it is happening now, with devastating consequences for ecosystems, agriculture, and human communities.
Alongside rising temperatures, other environmental issues such as biodiversity loss and plastic pollution continue to worsen. Biodiversity loss is accelerating at an alarming rate, with many species disappearing due to habitat destruction, illegal hunting, and pollution. This loss of biodiversity undermines ecosystems and threatens food security and human well-being. Similarly, plastic pollution has reached crisis levels, with millions of tons of plastic waste entering our oceans each year, harming marine life and polluting ecosystems.
In light of these environmental threats, we can no longer afford to ignore the impacts of our actions. But there’s hope. By adopting more sustainable practices and supporting environmental initiatives, each of us can contribute to the global effort to mitigate the effects of climate change and restore balance to our planet.
VLS’s Commitment to Environmental Sustainability
At VLS, we are deeply committed to environmental sustainability. Our dedication to protecting the environment goes beyond simply teaching Vietnamese; it is embedded in everything we do. As an institution, we actively reduce plastic waste and embrace eco-friendly practices in our daily operations. From using reusable materials to reducing paper usage, we are working to minimize our environmental footprint.
But our commitment doesn’t stop there. Since 2023, we have been involved in reforestation efforts in Vietnam, planting 1,500 trees in Bến En National Park. In 2024, we expanded our impact by planting 3,000 trees in the Bình Châu – Phước Bửu Nature Reserve. These reforestation efforts help restore ecosystems, combat deforestation, and improve air quality—crucial steps in the fight against climate change.
Additionally, our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs are focused on promoting environmental protection. We work closely with local communities to share practical knowledge on waste reduction, resource conservation, and sustainable living. By empowering communities with the tools they need to protect the environment, we aim to inspire long-term, positive change.
