The video was co-produced by the Centre of Hands-on Action and Networking for
Growth and Environment (Change), 350.org Vietnam and the Soul Music and
Performing Arts Academy to celebrate the Global Day of Action - Rise for Climate
last weekend with the participation of hundreds of people from over 90
countries.
"Hopefully our song, Rise for Climate, will make an important contribution in
raising public awareness about this issue and engaging all Vietnamese to build a
‘cleaner’ and ‘carbon-free’ society," said artist Thanh Bui.
"I feel very strongly about protecting the environment as it is one of the
greatest factors that can affect my children’s future. We have already seen the
destruction of climate change over the past few years around the world, and it
has also affected Vietnam.
"Vietnam must ‘wake up’ to the imminent threat of climate change, and I take it
upon myself as a public figure to take greater responsibility in sharing this
message, and I hope that through this project, that we can raise awareness of
climate change in Vietnam," said the musician.
The Rise for Climate video carries the message “Stand up, speak up and take
actions to minimise the impact of climate change on the community, and to do so,
clean energy is one of the most practical solutions.”
At present, over 800 events have been held in over 90 countries. RISE Vietnam
has been one of the most outstanding events around the world with a wide range
of activities and creative events.
"We are proud to represent RISE Vietnam," said Hoang Thi Minh Hong, Director of
Change. "Rise Vietnam’s image is shared widely on social networks by
international friends. The Rise for Climate video will touch the hearts of
Vietnamese and international friends."
Many other activities, including training courses, seminars and flashmobs were
held last week in colleges and universities in Ho Chi Minh City, the Mekong
Delta city of Can Tho and southern province of An Giang.
Together with the music video launch, Change and 350.org Vietnam is in
collaboration with the Soul Music and Performing Arts Academy to organise a song
cover contest from September 10 to 23 with the aim of popularising the song
among the public as well as mobilising more people for the grassroots climate
and energy movement in Vietnam.
