In recent years, climate change has been a mainstream for leaders, authorities, scientists, and for the world. When large, extreme weather events occur frequently, the question raised here is what can we do to prevent climate change? For nearly three decades, the United Nations climate change conference has been bringing together almost every country on earth for global climate summits known as COPs. This year will be the 26th annual summit – COP26. With the UK as President, COP26 takes place in the United Kingdom and Vietnam is one of the meeting attendees. To avoid the worst consequences of climate change, the avarage global temperature rise should be limited to 1. 5 degrees centigrade. Now, both in the run-up to and during the conference, we need the government to take the lead and accelerate the green transition in order to keep 1. 5 degrees alive. Fortunately, Vietnam possesses adequate resources to combat climate change. We have a massive hydropower system in the north that is backed by a variety of financial institutions. We have good solar energy as well as a lot of sunshine to harvest in central Vietnam. We also have amazing offshore wind potential in the south, particularly Soc Trang and other spots along the coast. Furthermore, in most of the world, solar and wind power are currently less expensive than coal and gas, which will facilitate extraction of natural energy. We put expectations on a generation of young people who are full of vitality and creative to make the Earth become green again.
